Comments Thread For: Vargas Furious: Referee Cost Me Knockout of Tim Bradley

[Hougigo]

Damn, ref just had to give vargas a moot excuse

[nacho daddy]

vargas cost himself throughout the entire fight. then when he had bradley hurt. he started reaching for the body. what kind of crap is that. he should've gotten close and ripped the body then go upstairs .what happend with the ref was a honest accident.the crowd was very loud.

how is it honest when the same ref robbed provo of a knockdown which would have given provo a draw. he has helped tim in two fights

[littlemac]

Just a PR move. What else can he say to conserve his rep?

First of all Vargas, you didn't even knock him down. You just buckled him. Try knocking him down first if you're looking for a "stoppage." Do the job yourself, don't leave it up to the refs & judges!

2nd of all, again...You didn't even knock him down, let alone cone close to KOing him. We've seen Tim buckle like that plenty of times in his career. This history tells us he was not on his way to be ing stopped. Especially with seven seconds. "I was finna knock him out doe." No you weren't biotch, you were hoping the ref would knock him out for you cause you couldn't do the job yourself.

For all of you saying "we don't know with certainty what would have happened...."

Yeah, you do. Tim would have survived. Shut up, you sound like a cheap *** lawyer.

the thing with that is tims chin is eroding and his resistence to punches is going down. provo cracked it

Bradley was way ahead on points and was only staggered....was recovering when the ref stepped in 10 seconds early....so there was no risk of getting stopped by Vargas.....the biggest issue I have is a young challenger on the biggest night of his career seemed reluctant to pull the trigger all through the fight and his desire to actually beat Bradley was not there....it will eliminate him from any future big name fights because he just don't have what it takes in the big league

sometimes a guy gets paid to do that. and even the ref for the second time helped tim

Come to think of it. Ref actually saved Vargas's rep by stoping the fight early giving the false impression that Vargas was about to knock Bradley out and win. If the fight had kept on Bradley would had pulled through easily making Vargas's loss a convincing one with no question about.

This!!

There were 9 seconds left, the ref pulled Vargas off while Timmy was holding him like an anaconda, Vargas' punches were getting smothered. All that would have happened is that Bradley would have worked the clock and that would have been that.

It should be a no contest. They should order a rematch but ain't nobady wanna see that ****

[lane99]

Referee mistake obviously potentially changed the outcome of the fight...

1. Fight should be ruled a no contest
2. No rematch
3. Pat Russell retire
