I don't fault the fighters for not hearing the bell, they're the ones fighting and getting hit. The ref though should undergo at the very least take a hearing exam, it's their job to hear the bell and stop action at the end of the round if he can't do that...

That DQ was ridiculous. Give a warning, or take a point at most, but that was obviously not a deliberate punch after the bell. He was in the middle of a combination at the time of the bell. That ref looked super corrupt.

Where are all the morons who argued with me about the fighters not hearing the bell ???
When I noted clearly that they had beaten the noise level for that arena

And let’s be totally realistic , yes tge punch came after the bell but we’re talking fractions of a second afterwards
I've seen way worse

Crocker won't take this. Dude barely landed anything on Paddy and was celebrating after the DQ while sipping air from his oxygen mask like he'd conquered King Kong!
What a freaking disgrace to the sport.

He will go back to fighting over-matched, localy gym scrubs and claim hes to the WW while he misses weight!

I will give Crocker props if he obliges Donovan's hunger for seconds. He took a hellacious beating.
