Irony of Terrell Williams slit throat gesture

After Williams got hit with a low blow he gave a slit-throat gesture and pointed to Prichard Colon. I saw the bout only once before deleting it from my dvr. Now Colon is fighting for his life in a coma. Colon had hit low due to his frustration of getting hit in back of the head (alleged rabbit-punching). Some feel Colon turned his back to Williams which resulted in some of the shots behind the head. Regardless, in a combat sport the slit throat gesture is banned some other sports. Hopefully, Colon can recover and not have that gesture be a lasting memory in the sport.

Huh? Are you saying it is banned (I've never heard that) or that it should be banned? Its kinda a ****ty move in a sport where people actually do die without question, but I don't think it should be banned. Idk who could even ban it with how boxing works these days with all these indians running around trying to be chiefs. Commissions, promoters, alphabet groups, HBO/PBC? I don't think it should be banned in boxing. In fact, Castillo did it as a gesture to Rick Hatton while they touched gloves (only to get knocked out himself). However, at minimum the ref should have taken control and advised him to stop it. Refs have in the past told boxers to stop "trash talking." The NBA did ban it after many players did it. If you did you got a suspension. The NFL will classify it as "unsportsmanlike conduct" and result in a penalty for taunting. The most important thing is just that Colon makes a full recovery and boxing can do a better job in controlling the action.

Banned for what? I get you're rican but he wasn't blatantly trying to hurt him Something has to be done because fighters can't haymakers others in the back of the head like that. He hit him with rabbit punches all fight but in that round be really rocked him in the back of the head. Slugged him bro. That can't be a tactic that's ever be used because our sport will go done the drain. In this game, they're fighters who will use it to win if they can get away with it without being punished.
