Disqualify Barrera!

[realheavyhands]

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.

ACCORDING TO THE REF HE WASNT DOWN

OMG, I wanted to choke Lampley when he was yelling about there being no reason for the point deduction! I'm thinking, Damn- you're apparently as blind as you're claiming Nady is! Thankfully Larry peeked around his old-fashioned and said something about it or Lampley might still be wondering about the point.

That was as bad a call as I've seen Lampley make since freaking out about the ref stopping Lewis-McCall I.

Larry Merchant is one old ****er. Takes 30 secs before he asks the next question.

Bull****, because whether it was ruled a KD or not, the fact is Marquez was on the floor - and it doesn't matter if it was a slip or a KD or a knee, YOU CANNOT HIT A FIGHTER WHEN HE IS DOWN, period.

It wasn't "THE Rules" anything... the fight was still on... PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES.. if you are unable to protect your self the REF SHOULD BE DOING IT FOR YOU ... the only person you need to be angry with is JAY NADY not MAB and NOT ME....

There was a very clear distinction between these two incidents. In the Roy Jones-Montell Griffin case, Griffin was knocked out by a punch while he was down. The rules state that if the man is unable to continue and beat the 10 count, then a disqualification is in order.

In this incident, Marquez was able to continue. There is a huge difference in the character of Marquez and Griffin. Griffin clearly faked his being unable to continue, when he looked up, thought about it, and said **** it, lets get some of that rematch money and a belt to kick. Totally different scenarios.

[Mr. Ryan]

Also, the rules state that there should've been a knockdown ruling and a ten count to deem whether Marquez was able to continue. Nady employed similar revisionist policies in the Anchondo-Barrios fight when a similar situation arose in the 4th round of their fight.

Well then Pacquiao should have be disqualified when he hit Marquez when Marquez was down!

in my opinion, pac did it w/ his instinct. mab did it on purpose coz he was very eager to get back at jmm after he was almost knocked down during that round LOL.

You can't just disqualify someone in a championship fight like that.
It'll cause a lot of controversy and probably make the fans go all wild mad and ****...
