Comments Thread For: NSAC Head: Upon Further Review, Referee Russell Mora Was Unequivocally Correct

[Roadblock]

Here is the jab thumb in the eye I think its as plane as day that it does the damage 5.54 watch it full screen.

Zapruder tape 2.0

Acting like ESPN didn’t replay the full round three times for us...there was no Damn headbutt. The more they double down on it the more pathetic they look.

[Albertocrn]

Man to many crybabies still complaining... they should just do the rematch again and thats it... if moloney that good then he can win that 3rd fight no problem...

That didnt touch Franco has no response at all he would have reacted, the angle doesnt show the gap between, its like your hand passing the other, from behind and a little back you wouldn't know it missed.

Mate that is a glancing blow at best lol. That did not warrant that type of damage.

No sweat flying, no head recoil. That was not very convincing.
The jab/thumb to the eye however was very convincing.
But it’s nice to see you’ve done more of an effort than NSAC so there’s respect for that

Clearly there was an impact. When you're dealing with flesh on bone, it doesn't necessarily require a concussive impact cause damage. As I mentioned, Franco immediately motioned toward his eye to indicate he had been butted as Mora simultaneously warned Malone. I'd like to see a higher resolution copy of the fight to get a clearer view of what transpired, but here's another collision that occurred earlier in the round: https://twitter.com/boxing_habit/sta...17324088803328

At any rate, if people believe the outcome should be determined by a review of the footage then there seems to be enough evidence to justify the ref's initial ruling. Personally I believe if there's uncertainty in this kind of scenario the benefit of the doubt should be given to the champ and the rematch should be ordered.

That eye swelling was not by a jab. We see jabs All the time and they dont do that much damage.

Maloney's glove CLEARLY hit the eye and then sc****d across it. This is the easiest way for extreme swelling to occur. I don't know what fights you've been watching.

If you were watching the replay’s of the rounds live, that was the only headbutt in the rd and they show another angle of this and it doesn’t go anywhere near the eye.

You got that because Maloney won 1 and a half rds lol


Franco already had a slow start and whooped him in the first fight and would have done it against if not for the but.

Not with 1 eye tho. I mean if you feel he had the same momentum going into the halfway point of this fight than more power to you, Maloney was tagging him even before they eye closed

- Why did you poo into your pants?
- My gramma fed me too much.
- So? There was a toilet nearby, you could go there!
- I still ate too much in the first place so I claim it is her fault. I have photo of that big dish of food.

Again, there was no hit under Franco's eye in this episode.
It was his BROW at best hitting THE SIDE OF Moloney's head. Franco prevented Eye area contact in this episode.

JUST STOP PLEASE! NO FIGHT BEFORE GAVE A NO CONTEST FOR SUCH BS "HEADBUTTS" WHICH DID NOT LOOK LIKE ACTUAL HEADBUTTS.
WE, PEOPLE WHO RESPECT BOXING AND UNDERSTAND IT CLAIM: NO HEADBUTT WHICH SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT EYE SWELLING. MOLONEY'S PUNCHES CAUSED MOST OF THAT DAMAGE (if not ALL damage) EVEN IF THERE WERE TINY HITS TO THE EYE BEFORE. DAMAGE WAS TAKEN FROM REPEATED TARGETED PUNCHES TO THAT EYE BY MOLONEY.
