Secure a safe distance between both fighters, (neutral corner) Signal the time keeper to start time, and command the fighters to box... He did not do that. did you know that Joe Cortez also lost his mother that night? the man clearly was not fit to be the third man in the ring that night.
Regarding the rabbit punches Floyd always turns his head away on the inside and if a fighter is throwing when Floyd does that its not a foul
However lets just stick to the rules of the sport, regarding this....
Now you dont need to add Floyds lay off to the arguement as it has no relevance to the rules nor do we need to look at how good Floyd looked in there that has nothing to do with the rules.
What we need to look at is exactly what Cortez did and did not do.... when he called time there was 10 seconds left in the round, when he said lets go and he did, an apology to Floyd, two hugs and two cheap shots and a full count to 10....
What you DID NOT hear was the bell to end the round, NO I am not saying you can be saved by the bell, I am saying if time really was in, you would have heard the bell to end the 4th round.... think about it
Time was called with 10 seconds left....
You had the hugs and the cheap shots
and a full ten count
No bell to end the round......
Was time really in or is Joe Cortez covering his ass....
