Why wasnt this a no-contest?

Its hard to say wether or not he threw the punch before the ref said stop,

Was it declared a no-contest or was it a W on baker's record?

 

Yeah your right, but the ref was pushing the guy back when he was flushed, should have been a NC

 

Barker should of got a count. Peach of a left hook he threw...i don't think he did it on the sly purely accidental imo. It's hard one but based on character and also the way he threw it i doubt he did it knowing it was a break.

 

Samuels hadn't stopped and was moving in on Barker...you could argue that Barker was following the refs instructions in defending himself at all times

 

Quite right, I was a little hasty in condemning Barker :yep

 

Dodgy piece of officiating

Wait a minute who are the involved parties...






















OH thats right Dave Parris. :-(

Will anything be done about this crock of **** ref? Don't bet anything on it.

 

i though barker should have been counted

 

Whate he said, disgusted me that.

 

Come 1st March 2010 he will not be able to officiate in a British ring again

 

It was definitely a no contest... It was a strange situation, with the flash knockdown and all but the ref had to much influence in the ko also.

very bad if this isn't changed to a NC

 

barker should have got a count, end of. great ko, but, NC without a doubt. Barker knows it aswell

 

Dave Parris involved as usual.

 

Obvious NC. Hard for Samuels to defend himself when old Daves got his arm holding his right hand down. Not malicious from Barker, obviously just reactive, but thats pretty much the definition of something that should be ruled an NC
