    An accurate summary of the rules, thank you for explaining it to those who don’t understand.

    I had it 115-113 for tank.

    IF the ref called it a KD, I would have had it for Roach. But the FACT is, the ref didn’t!

    I agree, he should have, but he didn’t.

    I don’t think it was corruption, just an error in a situation. It’s not the first and it won’t be the last.
    What I don’t understand is the uproar over a ref’s judgement call when it works in a favour of a fighter people don’t like, but they support it when it benefits a fighter people do like.

    I think it was a bad call from the ref, tank was lucky, but it was his call and I’ve seen way worse.
    It was a close fight and not a robbery either way. When there is a close round or 2 in it, it’s not a robbery if it goes in the favour of a fighter you personally dislike.

    You usually get a warning or 2 before punishment.

    True, but as I say, there is no uproar when the fans like the opponent it benefits, then the excuse if “referee’s discretion” is used.

    He may not need to.

    https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_...l-issue-davis-knee-no-call-says-matter-review

    The issue is being reviewed by the NYSAC. The NYSAC said that the reason why they didn't replay the KD during the fight was because of a "technical issue".

    The NYSAC does have to power to overturn Willis' decision. If they do that, they can give Roach a win. The other issue I believe is being reviewed was the fact that Davis corner assisted the fighter in the middle of a round. That is a violation of NYSAC rules and can be disqualified or penalized. In the whole sequence, there is at least a 2 point penalty, 1 by Davis and 1 by the corner.

    NYS Boxing rules:

    According to the passage above, it's an official knockdown.

    According to the passage above, the corner should have been penalized or the fighter disqualified. While cornerman they didn't enter the ring, part of the towel did enter the ring and that's an extension of the cornerman. Technically, he did enter the ring and it's a violation of NYSAC boxing rules. Have a look at the video below. The towel entered the ring at the 12 second mark.

    Just a warning, depending on the situation, it could be dq. If it keeps happening then the punishment gets more severe

    It's a violation of the rules and the corner should have been automatically penalized. Imaging giving a warning to a corner for helping a boxer in the middle of the round. Every corner would try it if they only get a warning. They don't get that luxury. It's likely an automatic penalty.

    If the NYSAC want to keep their reputation, they would take action.

    The ref allowed it though, and it’s not the first time and won’t be the last.

    imagine every fighter got a dq for a slight infringement.

    tank took the knee when he was in no danger, and should have spoke to the ref to get authorisation prior to going to his corner, but the ref allowed it anyway.

    I agree it was a bad call, but it was the refs call. Corruption is a far reach.
    Just admit you hate him and want tank gone, by any means necessary

    Not every infringement is the same, this was unheard of and far more serious. You get a warning for a low blow not taking a time out mid round and letting your corner rub you down. Just admit your a tank fan boy, and will blindly defend him for anything

    I'm a man of principle. I call it like it is and if rules are broken, I'm going to speak up about it.

    It doesn't matter if my favorite fighter is in that position. I'd still call it out the same.

    I can tell that you want Tank to have special treatment.

    He is stupid and a pathetic liar. An attention seeking liar. People ignore his ass. It was so bad he change his name. Let see, nephew of Azuma , trained boxer, now all of the sudden he is managers of boxers. More lies I am to lazzy to dig up. The reality is he is some gopher at a company. The go get this go get that.

    The only way he gets people to respond to his new name is spamming response to people’s post.
