Comments Thread For: Hearn: Boxing Needs Video Replays, There is No Downside

[factsarenice]

Dumb azz had the fight won if just had a little self control.... he lucky suilamen did him a favor and changed it to a NC instead of a DQ and call for immediate rematch, Edwards not going want that work again and Martinez take on someone else for the vacant title

All he had to do was not commit an intentional and blatant fight ending foul.

Boxing also needs B samples tested. It also needs the opponent of a confirmed doper to be informed before he steps into the ring.

Looks like the better man lost due to lack of self control. Just like when Roy Jones fouled Montell Griffin.

Wow.
Promoter of untalented brit fighter who got literally crushed loves that fat fake mexican makes bogus call to save his bum from loss supports this?
Shocker.
The fact that the british crowd erupts when he gets his title back via pity party tells you everything.
Normally people would be ashamed to get the title back this way. Not brits though, as their sorry excuse for champions means they’ll take it any way they can get it.

“A lot of people wanted him disqualified”
A bunch of crybaby sore loser brits isnt a lot of people hearn.

I'm British and couldn't have cared less either way but rules are rules. Stop being a racist troll

Yeah, because Hearn would be saying this if Edwards had hit the mexican while he was on the floor, does anyone seriously believe that Edwards would recieve the same ruling as the no name mexican without a promoter, if the tables were turned?

Nope if it was Edwards the whole crowd would be cheering and celebrating, but it was still a late punch.

Reckon the real reason mauricio acted so quickly was because he had a shed load of cash on Martinez by ko as the underdog and having it moved to a nc voided his bet whereas a DQ would've cost him.

This basically happened in the previous fight. Ford was lowblowed by Buatsi and counted out and complaints ignored and buried.

[slimPickings]

Hopefully Martinez does not pull an Andrew Golota in the re if it ever comes off.

So he got an L but the ABC organization says he gets to keep the belt. You have the ABC organizations now trying to make a ruling on the outcome of the fights. They dont make the call, the ref assigned by the commission does.

Even worse, you had Mauricio just walk into the ring and change the ruling himself after seeing it on the scoreboard. That’s some WWE ****.
