Kerry Foley vs Robert Berridge [NSW AUS BOXING CORRUPTION]

Agreed. Had it not been for the point deduction he would've gotten a UD.

However, I don't believe the deduction was warranted without a warning first.

 

What about the Jamie Withers v Ammann fight, that was elbowing at it's finest! :!:

 

watch his elbows not his shoulders. hes clearly stroking downwards on his shorts. then apparently rests for a little before the ref takes his wrists and wipes his gloves on his shirt. at no point does the ref help him to his feet.
are you having a whinge because he didnt stand straight up tall?

 

Dopey,

Michael said it was up for grabs in the last round, meaning he had the fight even after 5.

That last round was a 10-9. Michael thought it was worth a 10-8 but I don't believe so. The 4th round was a 10-9 for Foley and with the point deduction it became a 10-8. It's pretty simple, really.

I can understand why you've scored it the way you have - after having supposedly 50+ amateur fights verysad) you're more partial to pitter patter. Have a pro fight and you might appreciate the difference and why pro fights are scored differently to the ams.

 

9 out of 10 competent referees will stop a bout if a fighter isn't standing straight up by the end of the count. The referee needs clear indication a fighter wants to continue.

Do you think Foley was giving the indication he wanted to continue?

 

if thats the case then virtually every referee for almost every fenech fight is incompetent and should have been sacked for letting his fights go far too long.
did the guy get up and keep firing back? yes. end of story.
if a guy isnt visibly injured, is still capable of defending himself and shows a willingness to fight back when pressured then the right decision has been made.

 

Read my last paragraph and your last paragraph again.

You think Foley was showing shipley the things you mentioned by being bent over? Yes or no

 

its irrelevant. did he step forward when the referee ASKED him to? yes. thats all that matters.

Funnily enough tbh I kinda saw it as this when I watched it live. At first glance I thought a draw was fair enough, and if not for the deduction then a win for Berridge.

I still havn't re watched it though.

I will agree though TC the count looked abit suss, not sure about the wipping his pants argument? But I don't think its screams corruption or anything (is foley even that big a deal? why would rules get bent for him?)

Maybe just a rematch to settle the score in the ring, I'd be happy enough to see that, pretty sure Foley offered him one on the night?

 

it was a close fight. I had no problem with a draw.
