Phil, I understand that you don't give a f**k what I think and that's fine. You say that you are being asked questions and are happy to answer them. Once again, fine. I've got one for you. Who's idea was it in the first place to have Derik Milham judging this fight? Like I said, I don't have a problem with his scoring, I'd just like to hear it from you how it came about.
No worries, I'm pretty sure he was hit and as he put his foot back for support he fell. So it was from the punch. I will watch again as the fight was great and worth watching a 3rd time.
I think personally the choice of Derek Milham was a horrible decision by the IBO, too bad Geale's team didnt force the change as i believe they should have.
I just watched the KD about 785 times in slow motion, and from what I can see, he did slip. However, it was a punch, which made him step back, which caused him to slip. The way I see it, if he hadn't of been hit, he wouldn't have stepped back, and of course he wouldn't have slipped. In a nutshell, the slip was caused by the punch. Now, the slip caused his gloves to touch the canvas, and the slip being caused by the punch, by definition of the rules is a KD. The problem is, this needed a lot of viewing in slow motion to see how the actual chain of events occurred and what caused what. I can see how a different conclusion could be made in a split second by the ref or someone at ringside. So all in all, I have no idea what happens from here. :huh
From the earlier answer by Phil, the sole judgement on whether a KD has taken place or not is made by the ref, and that decision is made at the time it occurrs (ie in the split second). See below: Quote: Originally Posted by sambo1987 This content is protected Can a judge score a KD if the ref doesn't acknowledge it? Phil replied: No is the simple answer to that one mate.
Yer I understand that, what I meant was what happens from here regarding the protest, and if the protest is to do with the round 9 slip/KD anyway.
From the earlier posts it sounds like the best the Geale camp can hope for is a mandatory re-match. Whether their protest includes mention of the round 9 Mundine slip/KD won't make any difference to the refs call of it being a slip. IMO there's no way in the world Mundine will fight Geale again, even if directed to by the body. He'll simply abandon the title.
Yeh, that's the part I'm not clear on. Is it This content is protected that the refs call won't be over-ruled, or is it that it simply This content is protected be over-ruled? You can count on that.:good
Sorry Sox but I have to dispute your logic. Just because the punch causes him to step back and then slip, by your own words, it can't be ruled a knockdown. A slip is a slip, especially with a step in between. Even to the naked eye without using slo-mo, it is clear that the punch that Geale threw did not directly cause Mundine to slip. No knock-down for me.
In one way I hope its a rematch because Mundine is going to KHTFO this time :yep Geale fought the fight of his life.....Mundine had an average day at the office.....as we know he is badly going down hill. Stay clear of Mundine Geale :deal
Clearly taking the **** Ash! We all know Mundine is extremely unlikely to risk another go with Geale, mandatory or not, title or no title.
