The ref should be thrown out.
    This is a good point. That ref is usually solid. He made a mistake that cost Roach the title tonight.

        Tank got a LIVE taste of how fickle fans can be when they don't get what they want. You can tell he's really in this to make fans happy and they boo'd him because he didn't stop Roach. He could barely keep his head up before the interview started.

        Roach should have walked away with the W but this is what happens in the sport, unfortunately. Now the world is ready to turn against him and suddenly Shakur "beat him easily" according to "fans".

        Great night for Roach and a learning experience for Tank. Now you have to understand why he doesn't mind talking retirement nowadays.

              Yes sir! It proves to be true each and every time.

              As I said earlier in the thread, I'm sure Floyd is somewhere having a chuckle.

                He refs all over the world and has done a really good job. That is why I am counting it as a mistake. Wouldn’t be the first ref mistake.

                He deserves criticism because he gets paid to get that call right and not cost a boxer a win, especially in a title fight.

                No way he knew that would happen.

                    No he wouldn’t have known that would cost a fighter a title I’ll agree there but to start a count and stop it
                    Something fughin shady about that
                    Talk about correcting a right to a wrong don’t make no sense
                    to me , especially not with his experience

                      Didn't watch the fight
                      Didn't care who won
                      Looked at the replay of the punch on ESPN

                      The punch itself wasn't what one would think could send a fighter down.
                      Tank rolled with it, grazing shot at best....then a pause
                      Tank looked at the ref and said something

                      It wasn't a body shot where there could be delayed reactions.
                      No noodle legs or confusion
                      Didn't stay in the corner trying to buy time. 2 seconds ?

                      There was more than enough time for LRJ to finish Tank if Tank was even slightly wobbly.

                      Some say LRJ should have won even without that rd ?
