Prichard Colón: The Handsome Light Middleweight Wolverine Of Orocovis-Can You Digget?

Anybody who watched Khan v Peterson should know how bad this referee is, he should have been given his marching orders then and hence never have been able to ref this particular fight. So often ref's have absolutely ****ful performances only to see them pop up again in major fights, time and time again!

 

Same ref from the Khan Peterson fight.

He was teeing off on the back of his head. He should have been disqualified for the 7th round shot alone.

Best case scenario is Prichard ends up with serious and likely permanent disablilities... like cognitive and memory deficits. I hope that he has good care and his family take good care of him and I also hope he beats the odds and comes out of it as unscathed as possible.

I think Colon's corner should have been way, way more aggressive in advocating for him. I think he was showing serious wear from those punches in the first few rounds ... way before those nasty shots in the 7th and 9th.

The commentators also seemed to be idiots. Not much mention of any of the fouling during the fight. And the ref just didn't seem to care at all. He tells Prichard, well you'll just have to take care of that when complaining about the head shots.

The good thing is people can say this and that, or suggest this and that, but here is hard and cold evidence that anyone can watch and see what happened in this fight.

 

Firstly I hope & pray Colon makes a complete recovery from this tragedy.
Next I think its wrong to attack Williams & call him terrible names & want him banned from boxing. This was a big fight for both men both were guilty of indiscretions . Both men strayed outside the rules. Sadly these tragedies happen in boxing. I'm sure Williams is having a very hard time of it himself.
Lastly I have no idea what happened in Colon's corner & why they thought fight was over although is was pretty obvious something was very amiss with Colon. Thank the Good Lord that happened & that the commission ruled to DQ Colon. Hopefully that saved his life. I cannot believe his corner was going to let him go out again they certainly are not blameless here

One final point I have to make to you people attacking Williams & demanding he be banned ?? I see some of you are Mayweather fans & class his disgusting cowardly attack on Victor Ortiz as a legitimate KO win?
With Ortiz relaxed & totally defenseless the way he was couldn't he have been very seriously injured or even killed??? Would you be screaming that Mayweather should have been banned???? Please try to answer
Again thank the Good Lord Mayweathers punches cannot break an egg & Ortiz wasn't seriously hurt

 

You can't compare a low blow or 10 low blows with brain damaging back of the head shots. Even after the low blow he pointed to his head which was getting damaged from the rabbit punching. He did it to try and bring attention to it and to get some help. Instead he lost two points, was told to deal with it and had menacing cut throat signs made at him. As if he wasn't being hit in the back of the head enough.

There is no thank god he was disqualified in the 10th.. can you imagine... etc. There is nothing to imagine. He is still not conscious and best case his life is forever changed and possibly quite for the bad and he may still die. It does not get much worse than this. Yeah sure the back of the head shots could have continued in the 10th (the last shot of the fight was back of the head) and he could have been killed immediately but the damage was done.

What should have happened is the back head shots should have been stopped earlier with warnings and points and DQ's if necessary so this way he is not in his current state with his life likely forever changed if things go well.

 

I'm not a Mayweather fan BUT...

What Floyd did was within the rules.

He only had one event during that fight where he did something could possible be deemed as wrong. In this scenario, Williams fouled OVER and OVER again. (I actually blame the ref as much as Williams though).

Even if Mayweather's shot was a foul (it wasn't) at least he did it once and not 20 times.

 

Colon's poor defence was just as much to blame, you do not turn away from punches and he doesn't know how to clinch properly, he was literally holding, what do you expect Williams to do? Maidana was just as bad vs Mayweather, yet no outcry? Benn was just as bad vs McClellan but it is viewed as a great win.

The reality is you're an over sensitive sheltered little ***** who couldn't punch himself out of a paperbag.

 

C'mon man there is no dirtier fighter than Mayweather. Holding, elbow shivers & smashes, & that's just inside the ring.
What Mayweather did to Ortiz WOULD have been technically legal if Joe Cortez had simply told them to "Box on" He didn't say a word. He looked away & cowardly mayweather struck.
The fight was OFFICIALLY STOPPED!! Anyway had it not been do you really applaud any boxer for acting so cowardly? Ortiz could have been in the postion poor Colon is now quite easily

 

It was tragic, but it is the reality of boxing. Things like this will happen, rabbit punches or not. Kovalev killed a man without throwing any rabbit punches. This is a blood sport and it can take lives. If people have a problem with it, why are they supporting such a sport. Boxers know the risks of stepping in the ring, people always look for someone to blame when in reality Colon was just as much to blame. He took the fight, made numerous defensive errors and had no inside game, if he had a good inside game, he wouldn't have got hit as much behind the head.

 

The Benn -McClellan tragedy must be put down to the referee & McClellans corner. Watch the fight listen to the ref's instructions' he sad "Head Hold " that's it he couldn't speak a word of Engish. He did not seem to have a clue what he was doing at all.
Also McClellans corner must accept blame too It was obvious McClellan was in distress he could not keep his mouthpiece in it was like he was in a trance. Then for the commentator to call McClellan a coward for taking a knee was the last straw
That fight was tragic not only for G man but for Benn too he was never the same fighter after. It still preys on his mind even though it wasn't his fault

 

As I noted before, it's the fighters fault 99 percent of the time. G Man fired Emanuel Steward to train with a guy who couldn't even wrap hands, he employed a corner full of yes men. When things went south what did he expect, he had the swapped training in the Kronk with Steward to those yes men. It's his fault as much as anyones.

 

It doesn't matter if Colon turned the back of his head to Williams and begged him to hit him in the back of the head with a promise to give Terrel all of his prize money if he can get over 20 shots in. The shots are still illegal, they still can easily cause brain damage and brain stem injury etc (and likely did), and should have been called out properly by the ref, with points deducted and more if it continued.

That said, more than a few shots were clearly indefensible from Colons vantage and were hard targeted shots, not wrap around side shots, but direct shots.
He should have been disqualified a few times.

 

Dude wanted to fight dirty and got ktfo...nothing to see here. Dont bring a knife to a gunfight.

 

Betcha he wishes he hadnt thrown those intentional low shots now
