I didn’t watch the fight but a two point deduction in a six round fight is nuts. If they were evenly matched enough to have a rematch a two point deduction over six rounds has a huge influence over the outcome. It’s almost like the people in charge want a third payday. This is boxing after all.
They have a combined 26 million followers on IG, someone was. Boxing fans likely won’t, but Reiss made himself too much a part of this and his incompetence or corruption affected the outcome. When you consider all of the casuals and non-boxing fans who were watching boxing for the first time, and the potential to win over new fans, they blew it. This will leave a bad taste in the mouth of anyone who may have had a casual interest in the sport.
It ain’t that deep
Are people taking this seriously ???

Yes, Ward vs Rodriguez, both got two points taken away at the same time…..by Jack Reiss lol.
I was going to say the same thing. I remember watching that live.
He was making up for not calling the KD in the previous round. In the end the score was the fair one- each one had a kd and Logan had a point deducted for hitting the KSI while he was on the ground. That was dirty af.
What happened? Low blows
Nice uppercut on the inside...then he held JJ's head and landed another uppercut and kind of threw him down...JJ's legs were wobbly when he got up though...I think the first uppercut was the big shot
Yeah a rubbermatch would be massive, but KSI is scared after he felt that power he doesn't want anymore.
Paul wanted the fight to be 8 rounds, but KSI wanted it to be 6 rounds. KSI was just rushing with wild haymakers that missed or hit gloves.
Paul had a hard time with this guy because of how wild he was, put Logan in with a basic text book boxer who doesnt jump off his feet, and you would see Paul pick them apart with his jab and one two.
Jack Riess ruined the fight, KSI was badly hurt and he let him recover, Paul was ready to pounce.
Yeah good post...didn't know they had a debate about rounds...after Logan gassed out in fight 1 I would have assumed he would have wanted it to stay at 6 rounds.
Yeah Logan actually looks decent in there...maybe he keeps his chin up a little bit but other than that he has good fundamentals in almost every way...surprised he couldn't time JJ a little better as I feel JJ was ready to go in the 4th and 5th.
Shannon was right though..Paul should have circled to the right, avoiding that big winging right hand by JJ...and then pop him with a big left hook/jab then right hand...if he was a little quicker on his feet I think that was open for him.
JJ was winging shots like Maidana in there lol...that is a tough style to deal with for sure.
could've been a DQ in that case 2 points is not that bad I'm going to catch the highlights
Refs can and do take 2 points for serious infractions
Again how often, when?
KSI was hitting behind the head all fight and Jack didn’t call it. I think he was paid off.
Nah...Paul dropped KSI and hit him when he was down

I think they both had a clear KD...and then the other 4 rounds they were pretty even...I say run it back lol

Reiss cost Logan this fight. Two point deduction? And he never warned KSI for rabbit punches. Awful.
He is a very bad ref who does stupid wrong things. He probably cost Wilder a KO of fury with half a dozen walk to me tests before letting Wilder at him while Fury was still hurt.It made the Dempsey Tunney long count look short.
