Mayweather-Gatti | The ref says "don't punch", Floyd pnches three times and gets a KD

why does floyd have to follow the rules? answer me that.

http://oi66.tinypic.com/2crn5mp.jpg You want to talk about fouls? Hitting a downed fighter is one of the worst. Lemeiux is on the floor before Golovkin even throws the punch. That's nuthin. Sinclair rabbit punched corrales well after he was down and this was the super hard punching ko artist jr. Rabbit punches are very dangerous bruh.

He apologized and got warned for it. It was ok if he got a point deducted also. I wouldn't be mad about it. Now back on topic.

That's on the ref, not the fighters. You have to be loud, clear, and decisive when calling a fight. The ref was none of those of things. He only says "stop punching" at a low volume that had to be hard to hear in arena filled with thousands of loudly cheering fans. Why score the KD then? Why did Gatti perfectly hear the "don't punch" and Mayweather who was closer to the ref didn't? why did he disobey?

Get over it h0mo...gatti got friggen DESTROYED in that fight.

the ref needs to stfu and let them fight

And the face of the ref looking at Gatti like.. "sorry son, I have to protect him or I'll be back on welfare". Lmaoooooooooo

It happened in the first minute of the fight assh0le... why do you speak if you don't have a clue. Who gives a fu** when it happened you emotional little b1tch:bottle:..fact is that gatti was a walking punching bag who was best at receiving punches..mayweather toyed with the bum and that's a fact not sure why you so emotional

listen and obey the ref's command, isnt this the instructions given to BOTH fighters BEFORE a fight? the ref doesnt have to jump in from 6 feet away, and how could he when he's 6 feet away? that's why he yelled out "stop punching". How can you when 6 feet away? Just jump in, stick your hand between them, let it be known. When you're focused on the fight and are ready to let your hands go at any moment, just saying it without separating them isn't enough sometimes, these guys are in fight mode, he should of said it even louder and split them. The ref was nowhere near firm enough, its a fight... these guys are filled with adrenaline. Shouldn't have been called a KD by any means, and Gatti should have been given a few mins to recover... but the ref was to blame for it. Either way you could tell Gatti was well out of his depth that night.

was a very competitive fight till that happened wasn't it? gtfo here with that sh**...gatti was a human punching bag nothing else..no fkn boxing skills.. no defense..no footwork..nothing!! It happened in the first minute of the fight assh0le... why do you speak if you don't have a clue.

One day you'll understand the rules of boxing I guess. If there's no "stop" instruction, it's protect yourself at all times. "Obey my commands at all times". Fool. I gave you your instructions in the dressing room. Remember protect yourself at all times and above all Obey my command at all times. Forget if Floyd didn't obey. How the **** can he call that a KD after he just told the fighters to stop punching? not only he does not warn Floyd for punching, he scores a KD.

incompetent refereeing, bad refs are everywhere in boxing jack reiss is the best ref and theres some good refs who officiate some lower level fights but some of the refs who always get the nods for big fights shouldnt be doing so lot of these refs are overwhelmed by the event and scared to enforce the rules

Great topic, I completely forgot about that. Terrible refereeing and Floyd took took advantage. Ignoring that it was a sublime performance by Floyd though.

Ref definitely fudged up there He probably figured whatever, Gatti's corner about to throw the towel in anyway

Loved this fight

I dunno about the ref having to jump in and break them, one of the complaints nowadays is that the refs are too involved causing disruption to fighters momentum. The ref fuked up, he said stopped punching because floyd had gatti pinned with his elbow and floyd still wacked him while having him pinned, an illegal move and he should have warned floyd.

Ref shouldn't have called it a KD if he said stop punching Ref should of stepped between then and shouted STOP clearly, instead he said "stop punching" from about 6 feet away and didn't step in. Exactly. Floyd did it to Gatti and Ortiz. Impressive win? Not.
