To answer your question, immediately.

The point is to foreshadow the robbery over and over as though you’re caught in a sort of hellish time loop.

Mistakes in sports happend all the time. We have robberies all time. Do the judges watch the whole fight again?

They did watch it all over again, and about 3 times and still couldn't find a head butt.

They were trying to find something, anything, to justify their decision, still didn't find anything and then were focusing on a coming together on the other side of the face (which even that wasn't a head butt, but different side anyway).

Bob was livid. I had no idea why people were blaming Arum and Top Rank for this ruling. I thought Bob was going to have an aneurysm on live TV.

A mistake is regreattable but understandable. Failure to rectfy the mistake when given all the evidence and opportunity needed is unforgiveable. Blockheaded officiating.

Well there you go. It's not lack of Technology and instant replay that was the problem all these years. It's the obvious corruption. When are we going to take care of our corruption problem? In boxing and in government.

There was a clash of heads at the 2:08 mark, when Moloney entered and right BEFORE they started rubbing heads on the left side of Franco.

That could have been what Mora saw.

In the NFL if an instant replay review is inconclusive you don't overturn the official call. So I'm ok with the ruling last night.

Let them fight a 3rd time to settle it.
