    I think that is a little bit similair to cotto vs foreman, but also the rules seem to be a little different for sanctioning bodies and different commisions in several states.
    I dont know which should be followed here in the tszyu fight, the wbc or the nevada commision, but im sure it is somehow justifiable.

    Pac vs Hatton. It was definitely not a contest at all.

    Ouali - Bailey should have been a DQ win for Quali in my opinion. Bailey clearly lifts him up and throw him out of the ring.

    I agree that Dawson - Hopkins should be a technical draw. Hopkins leans onto Dawson, and Dawson shrugs him off. I find that to be a very natural responds to being mounted by another man :deal

    But Bremen have posted Tyson - Norris, which correctly god ruled a No-contest. That, is the only fight I can remember(Or know about) becoming a no contest after an injury that was not the result of a foul, and under four rounds completed.

    Wasn't Bradley-Campbell a NC because of an injury where Campbell literally couldn't see? Was there a cut there? I forget...

    Ward-Dirrell - there was no contest because Dirrell had brain damage :lol:

    Guys when you mention a fight, please describe briefly the happenings, otherwise you're not really making a point.

    Now, in that Tyson-Norris fight, Tyson hit Norris after the bell of round 1 and put Norris on the canvas
    Norris buckled his knee and landed akwardly on the canvas.
    Ref Richard Steele deducted two points from Tyson for that late blow......
    Then between rounds, Norris told Dr. Flip Homansky his knee was hurt and could'nt continue.

    The fight was ruled a NC due to Norris injuring his knee as a result of a 2 point deduction foul by ref Steele.

    Tyson was really lucky he did'nt get disqualified, because had the roles been reversed, Norris would have been disqualified had he done the same to Tyson.


    A foul actually occured here, where the difference in the ref awarding the fight to Dawson was that he ruled Dawson had not commited a foul, that it was actually Hopkins who climbed on top of Dawson.
    I'll note, had Norris fell on his own without Tyson hitting him after the bell, Tyson would have won by tko.


    Bremen, good memory by coming up with that one.
    I'm sure there are other similar type fights, but it would be nice to have a brief description of what occured in a fight someone wants to mention.

    Actually read my post above, it was the result of a foul.
    Tyson punched Norris after the bell, and could'nt continue due to a knee injury suffered during the fall to the canvas.
    Ref deducted two points and ruled it a foul. Tyson was lucky the politic of boxing ruled it a NC, he should have been disqualified.
