Comments Thread For: Helenius: Ref Missing First Knockdown Of Kownacki Benefited Me

[PBR Streetgang]

Never got hurt like that but does 10 seconds feel like seconds when your brain is sliding around in your cranium.

I would doubt it.

Unless you take a knee your not in control

I remember I was sparring back in my much younger days and got dropped so hard that it felt like the lights went out. I dropped and instinctually bounced back up immediately. There was a guy reffing it and gave me the benefit of the 8 count.

Now, nobody would have ever mistaken me for a professional fighter then or now but my mind certainly wasn't thinking any rational thought like "let me take this count so I can recover". It takes a different type to have that type of calm under pressure.

really enjoyed this fight.

I give the referee the benefit of the doubt.

I feel for Adam Kownacki I believe this was not going to play a factor, only to prolong the inevitable.

The state of boxing is TRASH

It tells you how low boxing swims right now when you have to praise a boxer for telling us what we all saw and what even a some could comprehend...

... but referee didn't BTW... or didn't want to.
