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

[Boxing Goat]

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 can tell you didn't see the fight because if you had, you would know those punches were FAR from staged.

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.

That's not how it works when there were no prior warnings my man. Tell me one more other example ever and I'll consider it.

[Boxing Goat]

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

TY very much. And people saying that he was compensating for the no call on the Paul KD is nonsense because the ref had not seen a replay of it to know that he even made an error. definitely an off night for ole Jack Reese.

I don't blame them or the promotors. The blame is more with fans. Not enough boxing fans are real fans of the sport. There are too many fans that are just groupies of specific fighters and ignore fights that deserve more attention. For example, fights like inoue vs donaire and beterbiev vs gvozdyk deserved more attention than what they got.

Think about what you're saying. How many things do you like but are not hard core into? Boxing needs this kind of exposure. BADLY. UFC(mma) is becoming more mainstream and it pisses me off. Let's get boxing back to where it was before MMA got traction.

This. It all evened out in the end.

Yeah, I think the ref heard in between rounds from ringside, maybe even Steve Smoger, who was unofficial judging for the broadcast, that KSI's should have been ruled a knockdown. It was a makeup call and as you said, evened out in the end. All that said, LP is the better boxer, started too slow, and took it too easy in last round. Anyway, moving on.

Well I have been a subscriber to DANZ since its inception because i Eat Sleep and Drink boxing and every other sport save the EPL is a DISTANT second.

I forced myself to watch it just for the fun factor.
And it was fun simply because of the WWE feel to it.

And to come here and argue about the merits of a point deduction in a FARCE is just plain silly.

But to each his own.

the issue is, a company like ufc owns all of the top fighters and they're not scared to match them up against one another. Also, they don't care as much about losses. Diaz and masvidal had canelo and kovalev looking like b***hes waiting for their fight to start and they have 24 losses between them. Boxing promotors are scared to let their fighters take losses and are reluctant to work with other promotions. Unfortunately, I don't see that ever changing.

Regardless of who got the W, I couldn't, as a man, be satisfied with this victory on the level that KSI is, it shows he really is scared of Logan and wants nothing to do with him.

If I had a bitter rivalry and got a SD win over my rival in a fight he dropped me and made me do the chicken dance then had two points deducted by the ref, I couldn't celebrate the way KSI is right now, there's a reason Pacquiao rematched JMM so many times.

They aren't skilled by any means but the animosity was definitely real and those punches were obviously real. NOTHING in WWE is real so I can't see a similarity. That's all I'm saying.

Those are harsh realities but does that mean that boxing doesn't deserve casual viewership? I just don't see that and don't want that. I want as many eyes on boxing as possible and if that means a couple YouTube clowns get down, so be it. Cheers.
