Bad Calls

Jabba, this is a good one. A beauty of a right definitely decked Marquez.

 

Here is one for you - and amazingly another Pernell Whitaker fight - Pea's fight with Alfredo Layne. This occurs at 8:27 which I believe is the beginning of the 10th round. Layne catches him with a left hook to the temple and down he goes. When I first heard there was some controversy about this I noticed even Whitaker appeared to stay down like he was prepared to take a count, but actually he had his wits about him and I think he was just trying to protect himself as Layne was right over him. But it is about 13 seconds that pass before the announcers say, "Something just happened." Because they were listening to the corner between rounds while the action was going on. There is a lot to review in these few seconds. Needless to say referee Al Rothenburg - Whitaker's hand-picked referee that he carried with him everywhere like small change - called it no-knockdown. But I'd love to hear the take on it from you guys. I say a solid knockdown
