Comments Thread For: Roberto Ortiz: I was up at 9, miking clock to recover

I forgot about this entire card but it sounds like Chisora-Scott all over again.

Practically identical.

It's called a TEN COUNT not a NINE COUNT.

Goddamn refs and their incompetent judging.

Benjy is a POS puertorican that doesn't like Mexicans. I wonder how much he pocketed for that?

He didn't want to continue to fight and it was hurt. He should have gotten up at 6 or 7 and the ref would have still counted to 9. He did it to himself.

I thought it should have went on but a fighter shouldn't stay down to the count of nine, he should be upright at nine.

Bad stoppage, but when a ref sees a guy take a knee and not get up by 8, they tend to assume you're not getting up. Stand the **** up before 9.5 seconds or this is the risk.

It was worse than Chisora-Scott. Ortiz got up as the ref said 9. Scott got up as the ref waved his hands, but here the ref was waving his hands in the face of a standing fighter. It was pure nonsense.

It's time they either deducated pay from referees for this kind of horrific error or they had a commissioner that can overrule the referee and order a fight to resume.

Don't try to turn into that. Ortiz is a d1ckhead, I don't feel bad for him at all.

Basically!!!!

Ortiz left it late but the ref jumped the gun. How hard is it for an experienced ref to count to ten?

[Drunken Cat]

I've seen UK fights where the ref counts a fighter out in that exact fashion a million times.

US refs tend to let the fighter go. But, I don't know that barely getting your knee off the canvas before the ref reaches 10 equates to beating the count.

I don't know how the rules are written on this. When a guy is still down at 9 and then attempts to jump up before the ref reaches 10, he has only himself to blame.
