Comments Thread For: N.J. Commish: Bradley Win Legit, Old Refs Must Retire

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

New Jersey boxing commissioner Larry Hazzard doesn’t think his fellow regulators in California should change the result of the Timothy Bradley-Jessie Vargas fight to a no-contest.

Vargas and his handlers have urged California State Athletic Commission officials to overturn Bradley’s unanimous-decision victory because confused referee Pat Russell stopped their 12-round welterweight championship match prematurely Saturday night in Carson, Calif. Russell called an end to the bout with approximately five seconds left in the 12th round, with Bradley (32-1-1, 12 KOs, 1 NC) holding Vargas several seconds after Vargas (26-1, 9 KOs) hurt him with a straight right hand.

Good there goes that is over , Now let do the unification between Vargas & Crawford at 140

Overturned for what? Vargas lost and the rematch would be NO DIFFERENT, Vargas backing up while Bradley spends the entire fighting being the aggressor and outworking him

I'm not going to ignore 11 rounds of work just to focus on the last 10-20 Seconds of the fight so that Vargas can have some type of OUT on why he lost. Nobody wants to see Vargas on HBO again, off to TruTV now Vargas!

ONLY IN BOXING RULES don't matter whats new

Glad "commish" stepped in and set **** straight, letting Vargas know he is still a loser in their eyes.

Good on the N.J. Commissioner to let Vargas sore loser a$$ know!
Tims a Vet, YOU AINT KO'en *****!!!... lol!

Sorry I'm having a brewskey lol!...
Russell should retire too. They should force all old refs to take some kind of test to evaluate their reflexes in making split second decisions and see how accurate those decisions are.
