Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! On tuesday, I recorded undercard fights and they were usless, now I will record just the real fight only:thumbsup and erase undercard.
I saw that...I think Bika acted on the spurr of the moment...it doesn't look like he planned it...he should have been warned and had a point taken off no matter what his intentions, though...
Fun fight to watch but about as crude as it gets. Poor Codrington. He's obviously the more polished of the two guys but he fought about as stupid a fight as a you can fight when facing a free swinger slugger like Bika. He has absolutely no lateral offensive tactics. It sort of reminded me of China Smith when he fought Saul Montana. A somewhat skilled boxer with that terrible flaw of having no concept of how to spot a wild looping punch.
If it was Germany and Condrington was the home fighter the proper plan of action would be to deduct 2 points from Bika, call a stop to the fight to give Codrington enough time as needed to rest and recover and work on any wounds he might have had during the fight. After a nice break, you can let the fight continue. Now make sure ALL the fans of Conrington say how dirty Bika is and that he he should have been disqualified. Oh and if by chance Condrington breaks any rules, well that of course is OK..... Oh wait, that is right, this fight was in America so we try not to protect any one fighter too obviously :good
If I was the ref I would have disqualified the *******. One punch after a man is down might be an accident, but two punches is a clear disregard of the rules. Remember what happened to Roy Jones?
One of the best fights I've seen in years. It's fights like these that remind me why I love boxing! :good
