Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Geale Timekeepers Punished Over Error

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

New York boxing officials have ruled a timekeeper who added an extra minute to Daniel Geale's world title fight was distracted while having a conversation. It was one of boxing's great mysteries in 2014.

How could two timekeepers at Australian middleweight Daniel Geale's world title fight against champion Gennady Golovkin at Madison Square Garden mistakenly add an extra minute to the opening round?

At least in the 1934 Three Stooge short, Punch Drunks, time was being cut from the rounds.

It was a very amateurish mistake and the timekeepers should be punished but let's not drum up some fake controversy here. The extra time could have just as easily been beneficial to Geale. He didn't lose because of it, he lost because he simply wasn't good enough.

well from personal experience all of my ex girlfriends have never been good at keeping time or being on time, or getting ready on time, or paying attention to time, for some reason or another my ex girlfriends always ****** at being on time, any other fellas have a similar experience with women??? lol

Was the photographer whose camera strap tripped the boxer sanctioned for his careless ness ? Who was responsible to supervise the press at ringside. ?

I believe the Official Clock should be provided by the New York Commission, not HBO, that may be a conflict of interest, also why would the Timekeeper be responsible for a clock that the TV network provided. ?
