Johnson Camp To Protest Woods Decision

[deuce_drop]

my question is, did anyone see woods' cornerman get up on the apron during the round. because if his cornerman did do that, then woods should be DQ'd. that is damn near a universal rule in boxing. if a cornerman steps up on the apron during the round(with no time out called) then the fighter of that corner is DQ'd. it's happend before in fights, why would they not enforce the rules, if they don't then i would say that anyone fighting for the IBF should never pay sanctioning fee's ever, and protest the IBF.


and for anyone who wants to bring up the whole Floyd Mayweather-Zab Judah fight with Roger Mayweather coming into the ring. Richard Steele had called time out already, so it's the referee's discretion on whether or not to make the call. during a time out it's the ref's call, the rule doesn't apply, unless the ref says other wise.

Johnson may well have a solid case in his favor, it would be very sad if they were to not follow the rules and let the decision stand leaving Johnson with another screw job loss.

There's a difference between standing on the apron and charging in the ring at a fighter, a BIG difference.

If this gets changed to a DQ then boxing is corrupt.

Due to the whole PBF situation in comparison, it's down to the referee regardless of the time out.

Has anyone seen this fight?Was it a gift for Woods?

No matter if it was or wasn't, the protest is not about the judging, it is about the referee not disqualifying Woods when his corner got up on the ring apron.

Same here!Bo knows everything!

How petty is this?

"Warriors Boxing, the promoters of Johnson, told the paper that Woods should have been disqualified after one of his corner men stood on the canvas near the fighter's corner in the 11th round. Warriors wants the decision reversed and Johnson listed as the winner, or at the very least an immediate rematch should be ordered"

The fight was a close fight hence the split decision, this fight was not like say a Holyfield v Lewis 1 when Lewis had obviously won the fight comfortably but the fight was ruled a draw, it was a close fight therefore it could have been interpreted either way, the actual British judge went for Johnson whilst the American and Puerto Rican judges went for Woods!

If we are to penalise every rule violation that occurs the boxers would spend more time in court than in the ring!

as far as i know getting on the apron during the action is the same thing as charging the ring. the ref doesn't know if he's throwing in the towel or not. i've heard it hundreds of times that if someone from a the fighters corner gets up on the ring apron during the action, he forfeits his fighter.
as far as i know thats always been the case. i'm not saying that that is the case everytime, but it's been known as common practice in the rules of boxing.

now if the cornerman was getting up to set the stool in and got over zealous, that can swing either way, because, jumping the gun can cause an over zealous ref to call the action, or it was obvious that he was setting up for the end of the round.

that why i asked if anyone seen it, whether he was up there for concern of his fighter, or was setting up for the between round action? that is what will make the difference.

Does anyone actually think that the desision will be overturned?

i don't think it will be. i think since i've been watching boxing(going on 20 years), i've seen maybe one or two fights that i can remember at the moment that have been over turned. it doesn't happen all that much.
