Comments Thread For: Argenis Mendez' Team To Appeal Barthelemy KO Outcome

"Way after" is your opinion. I disagree.

How so, the video is right there brah
The Hook is way after , when you hear the bell you stop, it's nearly 2sec after the bell he loads up the hook. bell is to stop, it does not mean finish your combination.

i'm pretty sure that's russian's point

So isn't possible Rances didn't hear the first ring . The ref never jumped in . Rances continued throwing and two secs later the other rings came in. It should have been ringRingRing . Not. Ring. Ring. Ring

I'm trying to figure out this guys logic. The refs always break the action when fighters are really trading at the bell. He's trying tell me they souldnt do that. They sould stand back and take a point.

lol I caught that, too.

Teddy spoke about how the ref was out of position, and that they need to train refs to handle those situations correctly. Basically, Atlas's stance is that Barthelemy did what he was supposed to do and that he shouldn't be penalized for it.

I haven't heard anything on that, did he comment on it? You, me, russian, or anyone else having an argument on whether it was possible he didn't hear the bell is pointless, of course its possible. I didn't see the interview though so I'm not even going to address that.

Another guy who's never had a real fight....

You must think the cops can just shoot guns out of people's hands, too. Just like in the movies, huh?

I saw the vid, kid...multiple times. Barthelemy was late, we've already established that. The KO punch didn't land two seconds after the first bell. It was no more than one second. Completely reasonable.

What's he supposed to do, be opportunistic even if its against the rules?

He was way out of position . I watched it like 8 times . The bell was about to ring and he literally jumped back two steps and walked around the fighters to break it up. It was bad. He could just went forward and got there a lot quicker

Human reaction time just doesn't work like that anyway. A fighter in a championship match, surging with adrenaline as he smells victory, isn't likely to be looking out for the sound of the bell. "Oh, my God, I sure hope I don't foul him!" What Barthelemy did wasn't right, but it's understandable...reasonable. The ref thought so, and so did Teddy Atlas.

Well the only other option is that he intentionally threw a late hit in a fight that he was gona win , or he couldn't hold back the punch right?
