Comments Thread For: Ceja Files Protest With WBC Over Stoppage Loss To Rigondeaux

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

After being given just eight seconds to unsuccessfully plead with referee Russell Mora to allow his last fight to continue, Julio Ceja will be granted at least the next few days by the World Boxing Council to argue his case for reconsideration. The former 122-pound titlist has filed an official appeal with the WBC on the grounds that his June 23 clash with lineal super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux was unjustly stopped.

Good!

Maybe this will reverse the trend of fights being stopped too early. Refs need to get back to letting things reach a clear conclusion.

The ref saved you from dementia in the next round, boy. You should be grateful!

That was such a weird stoppage. Ceja got up in time, had his gloves up and was looking straight at the ref. wtf? He was winning the fight too.

He didn't respond right and his eyes were crossed, not straight. Didn't you see him walking g back to his corner?

That's why it got stopped, because he was winning. I only gave Rigondeaux the first round. The worst part, there was only 1 second left in the round. I think they just used it as an opportunity to give Rigondeaux the victory. Very surprised to read that all 3 judges had Ceja ahead.

He responded exactly the way he was supposed to. The ref was incompetent.

I thought it may have been a bit premature at first, until I saw Ceija walking back towards his corner. Keep in mind that the referee has a far better vantage point than we do sitting in our living room.

This is ******, just carry your defeat like a man

If you don't want the fight to get stopped, avoid getting violently splattered on the floor. That wasn't even the worst stoppage of the weekend. Get over it.
