The referee gave Steve Cunningham 15 seconds!

He was for the 10 count so it doesn't matter.

 

it looks like he barely beat the 10 count. if your going to be pisses then maybe its the ref letting him stagger away for 5 seconds.

 

that is a crap british ref so useless

 

Damn his equilibrium was gooone

 

I think it fair to say that marco huck is now the #1 cruiserweight
in the world, with Leb in #2. Unless of course tarver stays at 200lbs.

Don't see it though.

 

the count is not supposed to be exactly ten seconds you know?

 

I hope that Lebedev rematches Huck to kick his lazy ass again

 

The refs count isn't by seconds. It's by his count. Which can be up to 15 seconds if he wants.

 

Lame thread...

 

Both things are worth being pissed about.

You don't have to be pro-Hernandez or anti-Cunningham to be pissed, either. Any fan of boxing should be dissatisfied with Mickey Vann's overall performance today.

 

X 2

Yeah, I bet if you looked at the uncontroversial KO's, the average count is probably 11.5 to 12.5 seconds.

Besides, he was on his feet at 10, no? Ref's discretion on if his health is in danger, I'd say he made the right call based on the rest of the fight.

 

This.

 

Don't see anything too wrong. He (the ref) would've been justified in stopping it, but it looks like he beat the count, albeit on very wobbly legs. Most refs would have waved it off as soon as he fell trying to get up the first time.

 

ahahah that's true and the ref didn't ask him to come forward. There is to parts in this story. The count should not be exactly 10 seconds but I think that an unbiased ref should have stopped it given the fact that he was still very badly wobbled and unable to walk forward after such a long count
