    Both Football (Soccer) & Cricket have video technology in place so that the referee can review controversial moments and make the correct decision. Boxing should follow suit and that referee should be struck off for acknowledging Tank took a knee but NOT ruling it a knockdown. Roach should've jumped on him too instead of letting him off the hook.

      The ref started counting but In fact he was just counting how long tanks timeout would be which is entirely up to tank after all

          Clear as day Tank taking a knee was him signalling time out so someone in his corner could wipe something off on his face. Have never seen anything like it, except in Tennis.

              Boxing will never die. It's just as niche a sport as ever.

                Try this....

                "Hey, search engine (I use google)......."

                How popular is profession boxing ?

                Ans - Professional boxing is popular around the world, but its popularity in the United States has fluctuated.
                • Boxing is the most popular form of the sport globally.
                • Boxing icons like Muhammad Ali have inspired many people to box.
                • The global boxing equipment industry was worth over $1.6 billion in 2021.
                ​Here in the states, as it has always been, we have many distractions.

                I'm sure you can find popularity numbers if you search.

                      Lamont still has a chance to snag victory from the jaws of defeat. All he has to do is file an appeal to the commission to have the result overturned and bam he's declared the winner.
