Good decision. Although he got dominated there's still rules to follow. He basically got KO'd by a foul (punch after the bell)
Only time I've seen Barthelemy fight he got an absolute gift against the Afghan Usmanee and looked like ****
It should've been a NC in the first place straightaway when it happened, kind of cruel to let Barthelemy think he was champ for a whole month, but right decision nonetheless.
the punch was obviously after the bell. Teddy Atlas is probably going to be bitching about this tomorrow.
ref made a mess. now Mendez gets beat up again, Barth wastes a fight and the fans gotta watch it all again. anything can happen though, i guess.
Horrible decision....he was getting rocked before the incident occured. He was getting KTFO the next round anyways.
rules are rules. how do we know he wasn't going to come back? Imagine if they stopped the JMM-Pac I fight in the first round?
