    Marlon Starling's KO loss to Molinares...

    This was one controversial fight! Many people believe Marlon got KO'd after the bell. Some people believe the "KO punch" landed as the bell rang. I've got my own theory. I believe that if you watch the film you'd see that the punch that had landed which supposedly knocked him out was not a very hard one. You'd also see that Marlon's leg had somewhat twisted as he changed his position right before the last punch landed. My theory is that he had broken his leg before the "KO punch" landed and that's what did him in. Starling even had said thats what happened in the post-fight interview. Remember, this guy had a great chin...

    It was after the bell, and it did KO Marlon.

    But, it shows you the mental apsect of boxing- because the KO wasn't legit, it did not have an effect on Starling. He came back in his very next fight and had his career best performance against Honeyghan.

        Marlon Starling in the Twilight Zone...

        Knocked out? I wasn't even knocked down!

        Do I look wobbled?

          I've always thought it was clearly after the bell.

          "I wasn't knocked out I wasn't even knocked down!"

            The punch was thrown as the bell rang, but it landed after the bell rang.
