not good, boxing doesnt need this...

Don King is horrible for boxing. If they overturn that decision, it will be terrible for the sport. I can't argue against stiff penalties against a trainer that rushes into the ring like that. Not sure if a ban is really necessary, but he has to pay in some respect for losing control of himself.

i have a bad feeling that king will succeed in getting this turned over to a dq. he does have a strong case for it cause of that ****** **** roger pulled, the rules were clearly broken when roger stepped into the ring with time remaining in the round. i'll be interested to see how this plays out but i hope the ud decision for floyd stands...

Hold Steele responsible for not DQ'ing Mayfeather. It's his responsibility, not Roger's.
If King pulls this off it's like committing boxing suicide. He will be shunned more than he already is. Why do i think it won't matter?

If the mods don't mind me quoting an article from another site (********* in this case) I think this sums up the situation well:

"However, with thousands of winning betting tickets already cashed, don't expect the Nevada Commission to change the result now."

I dont know if I blinked or what..

But didn't Zabs camp throw the first punch????????

I think Roger should be fined, but banned? **** outa here...that low blow was blantant and Roger was just lookin out for fam.

very true indeed

Roger didnt "rush" noone.

He walked....

Yoel was the one to instigate the physical altercation and Zab joined with his father while Floyd laid on the ropes.....

Also Bombardier, good point but remember Ruiz vs Toney? But then again this is Vegas

True, but even boxing can't ignore a positive banned substance test...likely they would if they could, though
