I dont like that, if you get knocked down in round 12 bell rings you cant make it up the other guy deserves the win in my eyes
It was the 10th and final round, but Jake LaMotta vs Jimmy Reeves, they showed in Raging Bull Fists fights broke out near the ring and the crowd booed for 20 minutes after Cleveland's Jimmy Reeves received an unpopular decision over Jacob Lamotte(sic). The organist played the Star Spangled Banner to help quell the disturbance. (AP) For seven rounds, Reeves pounded LaMotta from pillar to post. The situation changed dramatically in the last three rounds. In round nine Reeves went through the ropes for a nine-count. In the tenth he was down four times, twice from exhaustion and twice from LaMotta's punches. Afterward the referee said that "The way I looked at it, Reeves had piled up such a big margin he seemed entitled to finish if he could. He was more tired than hurt." Reeves was on the floor when the final bell sounded.
fight ends and one guy left standing... ..."and the winner is"...(referee points at the guy on the canvas):rofl
Lyakhovich went down with one second remaining in the twelfth round and lost his title to Shannon Briggs. Had he got up and back into the ring, he would have won the fight.
well if hes unconscious and the final bell sounds 9 and half seconds into the ten count... the fight is still over and the KOd guy still wins, thems the breaks
We have to get the right definition here.. Normally a fighter still needs to be up by 10 seconds when he's down at the final bell. Once he's up before the count of 10, he just doesn't have to be in any condition to continue, at the end of the 12th round only.
that measn taylor could have just taken a knee in those last seconds vs chavez or even go down from the punches and still win the fight, despite him maybe not getting up.
Thats how normal logic work but not how Philly logic works :hey Besides he took a lot of punishment he would hardly have been analysing the situation
