Are people at HBO out of their mind showing Williams the KO?

No idea too why the ref bothered to count, I think the doctor was up on the ring before the dumb ref finished his count.

 

Gloves are meant to protect a fighters fist not there opponets head upping the weight of gloves will just make fights worse.

 

Yeah, I think it was him having another Marquez Mayweather post fight moment. Today he must think he was an idiot, and he's right.

 

I was about to write what the ref was doing. He was touching and slapping their backs all the time. He stood behind them, touching them. One time he stood in Martinez´way moving backwards. It seemed as if he didn´t have a clue what he was doing. And then BAM. ESB crashed :nut

 

Yea he did seem kinda surprised then he just ended the interview abruptly. Didnt even ask him was he plans on doing and what not...

 

I totally disagree. If that was the case, then lighter weights would use the same gloves. 16 oz gloves are always used in sparring to protect the opponent. Knuckle pads and wraps are used to protect hands. Any padding on impact will absorb both concussions and snap and thus jarring of the brain. Thicker headgear are also known to absorb both snap and concussions

 

Prize fighting is different than sparring if you add heavier gloves and headgear and all that it's just the damn amateurs it waters down the sport, padding will not always absorb getting your brain jarred by the way, the whole point of the 1-2 left jab, right cross is snap the head back with the jab then when there chin up hit him with the right even with headgear there's a lot of punches especially uppercuts and the like that will snap the head not to mention a good hook to the whiskers.

 

"What did you see here?". Like he would know as he just got ko'd! I do agree that was evil for Kellerman and I hope Paul rebounds and learns his lesson. Your a tall man, USE YOUR REACH & SIZE!

 

You hit the nail on the head...

 

I'm surprised larry merchant wasn't circling. The carcass from above ..land on p dubs shoulder and start picking away at his flesh talking about retiring after that match

 

Whenever I have to listen to that smug ***** Kellerman or the old drunk Merchant disrespecting a guy after a loss the urge to put my fist through the screen is overwhelming, if I had to watch that **** live I would have to jump into the ring and deliver a flying tackle to the ****.

 

They always do that, Why are people being so sensitive.
It was great....

Or are you people forgetting this is the same network that likes to show Prize fighter's sig other cry & show their children & family in agony as their Dad/Husband gets beat up.
(Ala Margarito/Cotto ect...)

**** the HBO announce team!

 

Showing Williams the knockout was very dum.

What was he going to say?

 

This is boxing! Not Tennis! So fkn what they showed him his own KO. Man up or go play another sport.

 

Agreed and it's the most distasteful **** ever in my book no one wants to watch a woman reaction to her husband getting beat or there mortified children it's just terrible.
