    Foolish to have your hands down at any time in a prizefight. Unsportsmanlike to hit a man who isnt expecting it and isnt ready to fight.
    Bottom line however and as stated in the beginning of each mach as the ref goes over the rules. 1.Protect yourself at all times!

    Garcia should have had his hands up Forrest only did what anyone who actually wants to win the fight would have done. Continue fighting and go for the Ko if you have the chance.

      I'll give Forrest the benefit of the doubt, maybe he was just caught up in the moment. That **** looks wrong too me.

        It looks wrong to most people... it wasnt needed as well as the bout was already in Forrest's hands.

        Just surprised HE did it cause dude seems/sounds like he has his head on his shoulders from listening to his interviews.

          Did Forrest comment on it after the fight?

            ta ref is an idiot. He look like he don't what he's doing. He wasn't in charge at all. He's like "No KD, NO KD", very late, then stopped ta fight early, din't ask fo Forrest' gloves to wipe. Jest bad reffing. I'd cut down his paycheck if I was ta managaer.

            Forrest jest followed ta rules, but personally, I woulnt do that. I woulnt hit ma opponent if he wasn't lookin at me and he aint reADY. bUT THAT JEST ME.

                and like Manuel Stewart always say......."Punches that you don't see are ta Ones that always Hurt You". Garcia definitely dint see that comin. He took Forrest' best blows all night except that one controversial one.

                  Forrest did the right thing, he knocked that bum out. Good for him.

                  As you can see from the video, Forrest was not knocked down. It was clearly a slip.

                  Not Forrest's fault that the ref was an idiot.

                  LOOK AT THE VIDEO! THAT IDIOT GARCIA IS ALREADY IN A NEUTRAL CORNER! The referee didn't tell him to go to a corner. So where the hell is he going and why isn't he looking at Forrest and protecting himself? It is his own damn fault!

                  I'm glad Forrest blind-sided that fool. Served him right.

                    You're crazy masterdirector. Was Garcia a fool to believe the rules would be properly enforced? By your logic, apparently so. I think he should have obviously paid more attention, but it's not as though he dropped his hands to complain about a low blow while engaged.

                      Again, look at the video.

                      Have you ever watched boxing? At all? Looks like you've got football on the brain.

                      When a fighter gets dropped, the standing opponent has to go to a neutral corner. Garcia was already in a neutral corner, so where the f- was he going? Look at that video. Explain to me where Garcia thinks he is going. He even looks over at Forrest standing up and the ref isn't at all acting like it was a knockdown.

                      This was all Garcia's fault, end of story.
