I asked Howard about it afterwards (imo it was a kd as well) and he told me he felt it was a 50-50 call, the element of a slip/being off balance was involved and I'm guessing Greens reaction after coming off the ropes may have been enough to sway him. Foster is very experienced so I'll deign to his call, he has reffed a few more contests than me.
It doesn't matter how experienced he is, he made the wrong call. Tarver landed a punch and the only thing that kept Green up was the ropes, that's a knockdown. How much of a slip it was is irrelevant.
Since when has being punched into the ropes ever been considered a knock down, don't be ****ing stupid, no standing 8, a knockdown is a knockdown. The only thing that kept Green up was the ropes......you are a ****wit. You occasionally make a sensible comment and then retreat back to the realms of idiocy.
imo it should have been ruled a knockdown because the only thing holding him up was the ropes. The punch caused him to begin to fall, had the ropes not held him up he would have been sitting on his bum. His arms were outside the ropes and he was hanging onto them, technically it is a knockdown guys. :good IBO isnt known for being a leader in reform or enforcing stringent rules, they make it all up as they go, as we seen with the couldnt get 3, 3, 4 oh so we jump straight to ahh almost #50 and that will do lol. Change the rules to suit themselfs, its why the cards were cooked. They were going to try and cook up a draw $$$$
...it don't matter how experienced that ref was...failing to call a obvious KD certainly adds weight to the argument that Australia is the poor mans Germany as far as dodgey decisions go...lucky it wasn't a close fight...
Outline which one of the above rules applied to green in the first round. Green took a punch off balance and stumbled back until the ropes stopped and propped him, he came right off the ropes without any indication he had been even fazed..... You want to get technical, then apply and explain which of the rules comes into effect here Ty.
If we want to get technical, please explain how every reporter, news boxing writer etc, has scored Danny winning 1 round only, that being the 7th and the IBO have not scored this the same, they have given Danny more rounds than he won. The IBO Cooked the cards, would you agree? Thats what this topic is really all about. but techninically 2) has any part of his body outside the ropes; , what caused that do you think? It was a punch by Tarver, infact Danny was lucky he held onto Tarvers glove and made it look like a slip about 10 seconds before Tarver landed the big one which sent him crashing into the ropes. But lets forget about all that, how did they come up with 88-84, when everyone else in AUS has scored it 89-81, even Paul Upham who sucks oN Dannys Nutsack only gave Danny one round (round 7) Tarver pretty much dominated him every round other than 7. IBO = CORRUPT!
Its a boys club, you need to pretty much throw the lot of them out and start again. It needs to be re-regulated and policed, its a great sport boxing, unfortunatly its also one of the most corrupt sports and by not speaking up about this only breeds more corrupt I dont have all the answers but i sure do know whats going on and can see it for what it is, i see no reason to assist these people and butter up what they do, just call it like it is, usually the truth is your best defence and offence anyhow, i dont understand why so many get upset, they are getting free advice, run with it and clean up your orgnisations instead of making up excuses all the time, for example IBO couldnt get 1, 2, 3, 4 contender to fight Danny so oh lets wait for it, they get a bloke whos almost rated #50, Danny brought his title from them for future sanction fees that make them lots of money. Its a busssiness for them, not a sport. Its the same for NSW boxing, they have turned it into a bussiness, its a sport, an art and its being destroyed by these idiots who claim to want to revive the sport, keep it going, assist it blah blah. Why be part of a sharade? the majority of fights in NSW are setup matches, how can you help an organisation that is corrupt? you clean it up thats how but like i said prior, im only one man, all i can do is speak up about it and hope that the ears that can make change do tune in, more and more fans are singing the same tune here in AUS and they are sick and tired of this bullsht.
Teddy Atlas on ESPN2 just had a little rip at Danny Green on his loss to Antonio Tarver....saying anyone with good boxing technique and fundamentals would have won the fight. Basically then stated the only reason Green beat Jones was because he was shot to ****.
What was the broadcast? ie Friday Fight Nights, etc or who was fighting on the card, id like to pull it up and have a laugh.
