Did you think Jacobs could have had a point deducted for hitting after Dere went down?

As you say, Jacobs didn't hit him when he was down, he swung at him when he was back up after going down. If Derevyanchenko stayed down Jacobs may have still thrown that punch, but that's not what happened. The foul in boxing is hitting your opponent when he's down, not throwing a punch after the guy's down. Jacobs didn't hit Derevyanchenko when he was on the canvas. This wasn't like Andrade clearly hitting Kautondokwa when he was down, Mattias on the wbss undercad, or Jones-Griffin.

Even if Jacobs intention might have resulted in a foul, the foul wasn't actually committed, so there's no argument that a point should be taken.

 

Not as bad as Andrade, Kautondokwa tripped over his legs and whilst he had both hands on the mat Andrade landed a hook he had to step into and was seconds after the trip. Scored a KD.

It happens where the reaction time is off but sometimes it's too long after and should be a docked point or DQ.

 

The 5 minute rule could have been applied.

 

This has been a serious problem in boxing for quite a while. It started with this nonsense of standing over your fallen opponent, taunting them, and threatening to punch. This is so common now that announcers don't even mention it and ref's rarely admonish fighters for doing it. This has transitioned into the illegal blows and they too are commonplace. So much that the borderline of crossing that line is now obscure.

Refereeing in this sport is at best mediocre. At worst dangerous and atrocious.

 

Golovkin did the same thing to Lemmy. I think it's a heat of the moment type thing.

 

So if you make a guy's gloves brush the canvas, and he rises up to fight again and there isn't a break, you have to stand there and let him hit you?

Jacobs won without convtroversy.

 

Tbf to Jacobs in this fight Derevyanchenkos had got up before the ref stepped in and Jacobs wasn't looking to see what the ref was doing so it was more a case of Jacobs being in the zone and not purposefully looking to land an illegal blow, Derevyanchenkos had hit him on the break earlier as well but I think the referee was fine to let it go on, Jacobs didn't land or do any extra damage, its just heat of the moment stuff with no bad intentions (well illegal ones).

Same with Golovkin v Lemieux, Pacquiao v Marquez etc but if the fighter looks damaged of the punch he should be given five minutes.

Andrade v Kautondokwa should have been a five minute break and the KD ruled against as the KD was scored after Kautondokwa had hit the canvas for a slip and it was an extremely late and dangerous late punch, Kautondokwa wasn't in a place where he could defend himself and Andrade was about three seconds after the slip.

 

Look at the video. Go to 1.45 min and judge this one

should of been a no contest...

 

It wasn't though but do agree that, that may have been fair

 

That should of been a warning only, but if he ko's sergey it should be a DQ.
Tszyu v mass was similar but tszyu broke his jaw with the late punch.
I think that may have been changed to a no contest.

 

Shoulda been but ref was pretty hands off for most part. He let them fight so i dont know..
