WTF was that. The guys corner was holding him up for like 20 sec..... not to mention the round ending prematurely.... stoppped watching there. Unbelievable
If it makes you feel any better, the referee was banned for life. Gonzalez did get a rematch (which he lost).
Ive never seen anything like that. So twighlight zone. Maybe ill bookmark this threadf and actually watch the rest sometime. I only saw the 1st round and had to stop there heh.
I know, it was disgusting. Which is why I laugh whenever the topic of "worst ref jobs ever" come up and people say **** like "Mayweather-Hatton", or "worst robberies ever" and people list fights like Pacquiao-Marquez 2 or DLH-Whitaker.
"That's an awful low bodyshot", priceless. I really don't like Merchant, but I will miss him when he retires someday.
I believe we were both in agreement once before when this fight was brought up. I never like Coggi and felt so bad for the opponent of never holding a belt that he worked so hard to accomplish. Real fans know he was a champ that night so I hope he holds his head high knowing he really won that night.
