Jim Lampley and the HBO crew should be ashamed of themselves for doing that to Rigo

    Anyone know how long the commission usually takes to make decisions like this? If they are indeed, even reevaluating it.

      First - both fighters threw punches after the bell clearly. The one that Rigo landed did not involve him holding anyones head - so whomever is stating so should stop spreading falsehoods or if you are still confused put your bias aside and go watch the video. Lastly, Lamp's cornering of Bob Bennet i think was more about a story reporter jumping on a juicy mistake on the part of the Nevada State Athletic Commission making an initial statment that the punch from Rigo was unequivocally thrown and landed before the bell. We had all just seen it in real time and on replay with audio - it was unequivocally after the bell by the eyes of any sane individual so there was no way Lamp could just let him walk off making that statment without reclarifying for Bennet the scenario, the boldy flawed statment he was putting forth, and really giving him a window of opportunity to retract what was being stated as the NSAC's conclusion; in hindsight he was giving this dude wiggle room to get out of the mistake, or to continue to dig a deeper and embarassing ditch for the Commission and himself.

        The punch landed after the bell, the result needs to be changed.

        That's all that matters.

        You can't reward a man KO1 if the punch is after the bell.

          I think it's worse that the commissioner says the punch was clearly before the bell after watching footage then when asked if he had the audio for the bell he says no lol... Talk about fking incompetence. And Rigo deserves whatever he gets, the guy literally did nothing all round until he grabs the guys head and illegally hits him then KO him wayyyy after the bell...
