Should Benn have been disqualified against Barkley?

Abraham was disqualified for less tbh

 

Benn was lucky that Barkley got and didn't make a fuss of the situation.

 

Abraham caught Dirrell a lot cleaner than that. It can't have hurt Barkley that much as he didn't complain.

 

But Barkley was a true warrior. Cut from a different cloth.

 

When you compare Iran Barkeys reaction to that situation with Andre Dirrells you arn't comparing the punches, you're comparing the fighters and Barkley was a true warrior.

 

Just beat me to it Nulty.:good

 

nah,caught up in the excitement he was.
barkley was a dirty ******* as well,benn beat him to it.
great round of slugging though,benn and barkley winging,he caught benn with some big shots there,uppercuts hooks,straight shots,everything,i loved watching that,great great round

 

if you watch that fight with American commentary they were doing their nut wanting Benn disqualified.

When you consider Abraham got DQ'd for less and maybe to an extent Bika then yes Benn should have DQ'd

 

That was also Benns second infraction for that offence in that fight, he was pretty lucky that night. That second punch at 5:00 wasn't just instinct finishing off a combo, it was clearly aimed at Barkley when he was on the floor.

 

Compare the punches then. I don't buy into the Dirrell was faking it line, and for what it's worth, I've never been a fan of Dirrell.

 

I didn't accuse Dirrell of faking (although I have my doubts, I can't prove them), I was saying that Barkley not complaining, making a meal of it or faking that he was KO'd doesn't mean it wasn't a hard shot. Barkley was a "lets get on with it" type of fighter.

 

more of a protect yourself at all times attitude in those days. DQs were very rare and complaining didn't get you anywhere.

 

If you think what Benn did was worse than what Sakio Bika did, you're nuts.
