    I just re-watched the fight and it was clear to see it was a left uppercut that split judah open.

    Because it was ruled from a butt.

    I think his point was that it was the wrong ruling and should have been changed post fight. Which I agree

    Yeah it's a strange one. If Bradley/Campbell can be changed from a TKO to a NC, then this should have been changed from a TD to a TKO.

    They need to seriously start using replays more. That bs about keeping it "old school" is ridiculous. Clottey could have won by TKO and Martinez would have not gotten robbed vs Cintron.

    I wish they would do replay for headbutt ruling. So many good fight ends on bad calls.

    Replays would be great... if every pro fight in the world was taped.

    And multiple referees were there to consult with each other.
    And every state and country followed the same rules about replays.
    And rounds were scored by CompuBox.
    And promoters had no pull with local officials.
    And commissioners weren't political appointees.
    And ranking bodies had no pull with commissions.

    ...and if you weren't seriously arguing for rulings to be determined by HBO/ESPN/Top Rank/Goldent Boy/etc. camera angles.

    I lost ****ing money on this fight b/c I bet on Clottey by KO. Would have (and should have) been a nice pay off

    You can pretty easily just say "the commission has the right to consider video evidence" then if there is none there is none, but if there is a mistake that can be corrected.

    Commissions already use videos in things like disciplinary hearings, the cat is already out of the bag.
