Disqualify Barrera!

[PRboxingfan]

If the fighter who is hit while down cannot continue, the other fighter is DQ'd. However, if it's a low blow, for example, and the other fighter cannot continue after 5 minutes, he loses via TKO. Go figure.

It's partially Barrera's fault and the majority of the blame should go to Nady, Barrera was just doing what he was supposed to do.

are you ****in serious?

marquez was on all fours, yes all fours, which means on his knees and hands.........there was a 2 second pause and then barrera even hesitated and then hit him....that was suicide **** for barrera and yes he could have been DQ'd and I even thought Nady was generous with only 1 point!

how the fk are you blaming Nady......amazing

LOL at people trying to justify Barrera hitting a downed man.

I bet he should have been disqualified for throwing Naz' head into the ring post, right?

And during this 2 seconds Nady was doing what? He should have stepped in and either called it a slip or a KD, he was just STANDING there.

I would blame a small part of it on Nady for being nowhere to be seen. Someone like Smoger would have been in there right away. But Barerra still did the crime. Either way that round would have been amazing if it went right. Barerra gets rocked for 2 minutes and 40 seconds then comes back with a nice right hand knocking Marquez down.

The rules of boxing are very clear, hitting a man when he is down is illegal. Roy Jones was once disqualified for that infraction and Barrera should have been disqualified too. Taking a knee and the obligatory 8 count becomes very dangerous if somebody is going to hit you. There is no excuse for this sort of behaviour. Barrera is a top professional and allowing him to get away with it sends the wrong message.

Except according to the REF Jay Nady.. marquez wasn't down.. he hasn't acknowledged the KD nor had he begun to count.. SO I think MAB was well within his right to keep hitting

Thats basicly what Berrera said at the end of the fight. It wasn't ruled a KD so he hit him. He did what he was trained to do, Nady should have stepped in a lot sooner. I don't think he should have hit him, but I can't really blame him for it.

I can blame him for it. The reason he did it is not because it wasn't ruled a knockdown, it's because he was all charged up and had been beat around the ring all round, probably still out of a it just a tad.

If it had been like boom-boom, KD and then Barrera hit him really quick, then that's understandable and he probably wouldn't have gotten a point deducted. But he like reared back and seemed to think about it, sees both of Marquez's gloves on the canvas, and THEN hit him. It almost looked deliberate (if not for his possible groggy state, then I'd say it certainly was).

But yeah, that wasn't a simple reaction, he had time to pull a punch back when Marquez went down. You're talking about Barrera here, folks, maybe the most experienced (especially in these types of fights) of any active fighter. He deserved to have the point taken away, and Nady should have given Marquez up to 5 mins to recover. Nady ****ed up, but not with the point deduction! That's the one thing he got right.

Had that been say Mayweather or Toney doing that, we’d be calling for them to be banned or the win over turned.
