    1. Maloney gets brutally KO'd by Inoue and just two weeks later jumps straight back into another title fight against Franco in a super gutsy attempt to avenge his previous loss to him and win his belt back.

    2. After closing Franco's eye with one of the finest jabs I've ever seen that corrupt snake ref Mora comes to Franco's rescue by inexplicably ruling that the damage was caused by a phantom headbutt.

    3. And then after over 25 minutes of deliberation the Nevada State Athletic Commission lead by that senile old snake Robert Byrd and the equally serpentine Bob Bennett decide to uphold the decision.

    4. The game is rigged.

    5. I'm done with boxing for good.

    It’s the ref and the commission refusing to accept they made a bad call. They marked it down as a head butt and even with video replay showing there was no head butt , they still ruled it a butt. The whole world saw the video for over 30 minutes and they didn’t care. It’s hopeless when video proff can’t over turn a bad call.

    They had no intention of reviewing it either. Some guy ringside had to challenge them.

    Did you catch that video clip where they saw Bob Arum was swearing and cussing because his man lost lol you couldn't really tell because he was wearing a mask but he was really pissed off.

    Probably the wrong call but a guy losing his title because of a thumb to the eye wouldn't sit well with me either.

    I think tessitore hit the nail on the head "with the new gloves, they don't have thumbs on them"

    No headbutt caused that. It was clearly a thumb. How this can be called a no-contest is unreal.
    Once again a non-US fighter gets shafted in Vegas. It is almost beyond words it is so shocking.

    Idk. He covers up so much it's hard to tell. There's also a chance that a jab just made it worse later.

    Either way, I see no great injustice as long as they fight again.
