Comments Thread For: Briggs Furious With Referee Taking Two Points From Logan Paul

[PunchDunk]

Unfair Advantage

I Didn't watch the fight. However Paul obviously had an advantage. KSI is probably a Super Middleweight in reality as he had a lot of body fat at the weigh in. Paul was likely 205-210 lbs in the ring. Paul should have been able to stop KSI in six rounds without the need to bend the rules!
This is the likely reason that Jack Reiss was handing out points, in an attempt to protect the other fighter.

Come on guys... take that "fight" for what its worth.
This was just another stage managed WWE.

Respect to both guys for the humor they provided me.

Oh and they are probably drinking Dom Perignon this morning from their takings while you have to go Clock in and Clock out tomorrow!

I think there should be a third fight.

But jack didn’t call the first knockdown for ksi.
So he basically evened it up by taking 2 points away while awarding Logan with a kd.
Fair call IMO

The ref had to take two points away because he scored the illegal knock down. He was going down anyway from the uppercut 🥊

This is why he did it.

This. It all evened out in the end.

2 points is correct, 1 point for hitting when down, 1 point for hitting behind the head. and ksi scored a knockdown of his own.

Theyve got no power, even with the smaller gloves. They were gassed and mouth breathing in the first round.

Paul landed a stright right hand right on the button on KSI in one of the later rounds, maybe the 4th. Had like zero effect, because he was so gassed by then when he threw it.

I don't remember any other scenario like this where a ref just takes off two points without warnings or anything of the sort.

Yeah this fight was a fix. Eddie Hearn paid off Reece so his fellow crumpet could win
