Serious question about the Molina stoppage.

Well, the ref does clearly and audibly say "You've gotta be ****ing kidding me?!?" when he sees the cornerman squat through the ropes as he pushed him back out of the ring. Plus, it did delay his count by about 2 whole seconds.

 

They have no leverage, he was probably just happy to get the fight.

 

It did, but can you say in good faith that it made a difference?

 

Oh HELLLLL NO. I thought it was a bad DQ for sure, horrible, but if we are going by the rulebooks it was a legal and deserved DQ.

 

It's official, then:

Floyd Mayweather : 41-1.

42 Have tried. One won via disqualification.

 

Oh yeah.

Don't forget, JLC beat him first time around.

Mayweather: officially 40-2

 

:deal This... It looked like someone was ordering the ref to stop it.

 

Ref ends the round, not the bell when a count is being done.

Guy entered ring, it's irrefutable.

Good call by the ref.

The ref let it go at first. He seemed to have been called over by a rules advisor and was told what happened, this is what you have to do.

 

A perfectly plausible explanation.

The conspiracy freaks won't buy it though.

I agree, in what world does it make sense to enter the ring when your guy is receiving a count because he just got knocked down. I don't care how loud the bell rang, it just doesn't make any sense to enter the ring when your fighter is receiving a mandatory count because he got knocked down.

Having that said, like most people, I would have preffered for the fight to continue. Too bad Molina's team screwed him over.

 

Me too.

this is exactly what happened.....they wanted to save Kirkland for Alvarez cause they now know Alvarez will destroy him.

 

:deal

 

Molina is no one's boy! C'mon son, Molina has like 5 fans, I guarantee most people that are making a big thing over this didn't give a **** about Molina before this fight....including me..... People aren't reacting this way cause Molina's their boy, no one likes watching the guy fight.....people are reacting this way cause they're fans of the sport and hate to see a guy who was well on his way to winning get robbed of a hard earned victory.deal
