Brits: Should Barker have been counted out?
Collapse
-
Seen alot of back and forth on this thread,,,,
Facts are Geale caught him with a great body shot....
Barker went down,, looked like he wasnt going to make it,,,
at 8 he stood up,,
at 9 he was looking at the ref, and barker when standing up does like alot of fighters do and kinda started going backwards,,,,
The ref asked him if he could continue,, barker said yes
It was the ref's disgression.. and ref thought barker could continue,,,,
The ref could have easily stopped the fight when barker stood up and went backwards, but the ref didnt,,,,
It was the ref's judgement call,,,,,and the ref allowed barker to continue,,,
BARKER WAS NEVER COUNTED OUT

Originally posted by SHO_RULEZ View PostJust saw the knockdown this morning on the DVR. Barker was counted out, and Geale should have been declared the TKO winner.
However, the ref (as is his discretion? ) was seeing a great fight and felt that it should continue. Barker was up just at the count of ten, but was not in control of his faculties. The ref bought him another 5-6 seconds with the inspection, and Barker recovered.
Barker should consider himself lucky that the ref was also quite entertained by the fight .
About the Chisora fight, were you also rewinding the video a dozen times to be sure he didn't hit him with an elbow rather than a fist? It really close...may have been both. That was a really hard follow through with the elbow.

Barker was downed from the body shot and if he got up at 9 it wouldn't be that damagin if he was still hurt... Malik was put down from a head shot and therefore could have been babdly hurt and or could have permanent damage
