Was Uzcategui hitting Dirrell after the bell intentional/flagrant? What is after the bell protocol?

It was an unintentional punch.

 

This. Can't blame the ref, since Uzcategui was warned already and refs have that discretion. That said I did notice Dirrell suddenly started losing consciousness when the ref hinted at a DQ.

 

Yeah and what a great combo it was,looked right on the bell to me

 

Not an intentional foul. I would have been fine with a KO it was so close to the bell, but what should have happened is either a five minute rest for Dirrell, go to the cards, or an NC. Those would have been the fairest outcomes.

The problem was that he was on his knees and the ref asked if he was alright, he nodded and said "Yeah." He was about to get up when his corner yelled at him to stay down and yelled out that they needed a doctor; so Dirrell flops right back down on the canvas. Obvious malingering. That should be considered a foul itself. However, I can only think of one time when I've seen the ref not buy that act. It was an Amir Mansour fight, the ref told the fighter to get up and stop faking. This is very bad, compounded by the fact that Dirrell did this before against Abraham.

This is just bad refereeing. The ref should have got between them at the bell and shouldn't have fallen for Dirrell's malingering.

 

12 seconds into the OPs clip Dirrell is on his knees, looking to his corner. 22 seconds the referee asks Direll if he's okay and Dirrell nods. 24 seconds Direll's corner starts yelling that they need a doctor. 37 seconds the doctors enter the ring and 40 seconds Dirrell flops down on the canvas. ****in faker.

 

He was in the middle of a 3 punch combination when the bell sounded. In real time, it happened very quickly, and I could understand how he couldn't lay off the last punch in the middle of a combination when things are unfolding so quickly.

The way I look at it is if Dirrell had blocked the last punch and went back to his corner, I don't think that Uzcategui would've received anything more than a hard warning (2nd warning.) At worst case, maybe a point deduction but even that I find to be a bit too extreme.

On a side note, Andre has some terrible luck. First getting hit while on one knee against Abraham and than this mess last night. I wish he was able to continue and truck through it.

 

Ehhhhh.

It's some hosery and we all know what happened in Dirrell's small-man head. We all know what happened and intent/lack of intent... But the rules are the rules.

Just imagine if Dirrell was forced to continue then got a headache and quit on his stool after the next round, was rushed to the hospital, and had a brain bleed. If that happened, nobody would be saying anything in defense of Uzcategui and the tone would dramatically reverse. So you can't have it both ways or either way. It sucks, terrible for Uzcategui. If it would have been allowed to go to the scorecards, that would have been the ideal outcome. However, the exact way it played out, if the only options are "KO" or "DQ," then I have to go with the DQ.

Better be a darn rematch. Uzcat had him.

 

Dude did it twice, it's illegal to hit after the bell.

Just like it was illegal to for Abraham to hit Dirrell when he was down.

Don't want to DQ, don't do illegal things. Boxers know when the 10 sec warning goes off, and dude had been warned already. His own fault.

 

Spot On.

 

Agree with you 100% err that scares me a bit lol Clancy needs booting out along with the Dirrells That was BLATANT !!!

 

THAT WAS TOTALLY UNINTENTIONAL !!!! Jose fired off a 3 punch combination right on the bell. The "unconcious" Dirrell reminds me of John Ruiz acting & Cortez blatant bias that cost Kirk Johnson the WBA title
