The Joshua Franco / Andrew Moloney rematch! Moloney most definitely should've regained his belt. How many times and how many ways did the officials re-examine the replay... and STILL got it wrong?! Reviewed the footage for a half-hour on a 3 minute fight. There was NO accidental head-butt. i couldn't believe what i was seeing... (What's the point of having replay if this can still happen?)
The Byrd's are the problem. Both husband and wife are corrupt figures in the boxing world. Adelaine Byrd has no business judging fights. She is bought and paid and simply horrible. How can Byrd sit there for 30 minutes and watch replay after replay looking for a head butt that never happened? How? Someone paid him, thats how.
The problem was they didn't get that nice clip where Maloney jabbed Franco in the eye. The way they saw the clip it didn't show the punch to the eye it was on the wrong angle francos back of his head was on display. I don't think they saw the front view couple that with all the defending of the right eye immediately after with the glove defense. You can literally see Franklin's head snap back when the punch landed but like I said they couldn't see his eyeball from that angle. There were definitely no headbutts it came down to Maloney landing a nice jab swelling him up and then throwing 50 more jobs at the hurt eye. The reason heu did so well is because he spent 5 months in training during covid away from his family also he wanted to avenge his loss. Man I swear the Garcia team was rotten apples talking smack to Maloney on the way out. I mean I understand Robert's job is to take care of his fighter so of course he said those things like all there is about three or four headbutts and I have to sit down and watch the fight to make sure about it this is a business you sticking up for his guy but on the way out it was unnecessary to talk smack. Maloney was robbed like the announcer said he might be able to get a rematch but he might not have such a strong opening in the next fight shaking my head terrible.
