Comments Thread For: Fonfara Grabs Odd TKO Over Karpency, Wins IBO Belt

Did he say he didn't want to or couldn't?

I thought Fonfara was winning 4rounds to 2 . Also If Fonfara broke his hand then a rematch would be a different story. I noticed Fonfara mostly just jabbing and not really using his right hand.

I'll never understand how a fighter coming off a loss can fight for a title (unless the fight was a total robbery)

Fonfara also broke his right hand in second round and fought pretty much one handed for the rest of the fight, something author forgot to mention.

yeah, it was such a disappointing way to end a championship fight. i got to talk to karpency when he was walking back to his dressing room, he said he messed up his shoulder and that he couldn't lift it. the ref told him if he can't continue he'd lose by tko. so he had no choice. what i don't understand, if he did in fact mess his shoulder up when he fell, why didn't the fight go to the scorecards for a technical decision? fonfara didn't drop karpency with a punch, did he? camera man and people standing up in front of me made it hectic to get a clear view of the incident. it didn't look like fonfara threw a punch, looks like the article says "fonfara threw karpency to the mat". i thought when something like that happens (like an accidental headbutt) and one fighter can't continue, it goes to the cards. anyways, i hope they rematch. karpency was outboxing fonfara in some rounds and that last round was dominating from the looks of it.
