PBF won't be DQ'd

[Briman15]

Ratner said Nevada rules don't call for an immediate disqualification.

"I read the rule with my attorney general and, to paraphrase it, it says a referee 'may' disqualify a fighter if someone from his corner enters the ring," Ratner said. "There is no automatic disqualification. It may be that way in some states, but the rule is not written like that in the Nevada statutes. Richard could have disqualified him, but he and I and my commissioners talked about it and he was not disqualified.

"There could have been points deducted because of Zab's low blow and the blow behind the head. You could have had a double disqualification because of the other side [Yoel Judah] also coming into the ring and throwing punches. But if we did that, you might have had a full-scale problem in the arena."

Thats good, Floyd deserves the "W" on his record.

Thank God, this would have been bad for boxing.

[wmute]

phew.... I would have hated this

[THE REAL NINJA]

i would lose a lot of respect for boxing if he does ...did the riot effect the outcome of the fight ? it sounds like it didn't so why a DQ fine the hell out of Rodg but taking a fair win out of a mans hands is to much for the crime

Common Sense Prevailed....there is Hope.

The bottom line is that Zab was not in anyway disadvantaged by what happened.

Judah's dad went inside the ring anyway too.

see if zab judahs dad played it cool with his team and everyone just stood back and looked at roger cussin like a nutcase it prolly would have been a dq but since all hell broke lose and yoel proved he was just as nutty but willing to do something about it ...

frankly not that i say it was right for zab to punch roger but what yoel did i have no quarrel agianst i know if a trainer was comming at my son i'd be right there too swinging ...

[Left2body]

I'm also glad it wasnt a DQ but agree that Roger should've been kicked out. He is actually the match that sparks all this up.
