Willie Limond was Definately Robbed

kahn is on his feet in 5 seconds then takes a knee for the 8 count whats so hard to understand bout that.

 

Clearly not, one of the stills poste dabove shows kahn on the canvas at 2.04. The referee is seen holding up 5 fingers at the 1.59 point on the clock meaning that that count indeed started at 2.04 and at 1.54, 10 secoonds after the clock struck 2.04 he is shown in the still picture as being down on one knee. Thats about as clear as possible.

 

It is as clear as any wrong decision you will ever see in boxing. Khan should have lost but nothing will be done about it. Disgrace.

 

Wow you guys are looking at this in depth. Lets just look at this the boxer who was always gonna win the fight won. Khan was the better boxer in the fight and it was planned to be that way from when it was signed. Now please lets move on and find out who the next hand picked opponent is gonna be.

 

Put perfect. That is the same assessment that I have made.

The golden boy part rings too true as well.

 

Ally stop being ridiculous. The count is not done in real time, it is done on the refs hands. The ref was at 8, when Khan went to a knee and the ref told him to get up. There was clear confusion with Khan, his corner and the ref. Human error on both parts. Thankfully it was for the good because you want Limond to win because of a mistake.

Khan was fine to continue. Infact he pretty much got up straight away and it was the ref that said he needs to take a mandatory 8. Khan was ready to continue before the 8 count. It is because of the mandatory 8 that Khan went to a knee. He then saw, as did the ref, that there was nothing left to count. Why? Because the ref started counting at 5 and not 1. Probably another mistake considering Limond wasn't in his corner yet (unless there are different rules in different places).

 

You are ignoring the fact that count has human delay factor and isnt compuerized as other have said.

In any case lets go over your supporting arguments.
Breach 1:
When you say "By dropping at "Eight", Khan failed to show within 8 seconds that he was ready to box. Breach one."

Which point in the rule says that its a breach for a fighter not to be up at 8?
It simply says
"The Referee shall not permit a Boxer to continue boxing, if in his opinion he is able to do so, until the expiration of 8 seconds following the knock down. "

Breach 2,3: "By failing to be up and ready to box in ten seconds breach two. By failing once raised to show the referee he was ready to box, breach 3"

If you want to strictly go by the rules you are overlooking one significant point which I have also mentioned before. Its your subjective opinion that the rule cannot mean as I say since it would otherwise be like a musical chair. You need to show me where in the rule book it cannot mean as I say.

For example, NY state boxing commision covers this:
" Should a contest who is “down” arise before count of ten is reached and again go down intentionally, without being struck, the referee and timekeeper shall resume count where it left off. "

http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.php/New_York_State_Athletic_Commission

The is not covered by the BBBoC rules.
"

1. 1. Should a Boxer go down to the floor as the result of a legitimate blow, the Timekeeper shall count off the seconds strictly in accordance with his watch. The opponent shall retire immediately to the furthest neutral corner and neither Boxer shall resume boxing until ordered to do so by the Referee.

1. 1. 1. In this Regulation 3.32, “down” shall mean one or more of the following:-

• 1. when a Boxer falls from the boxing ring beyond the ring apron as a result of a legitimate blow; or
  2. when a Boxer is on one foot or both feet and at the same time any other part of his body is touching the floor of the boxing ring; or
  3. when a Boxer is supported on the ropes of the boxing ring and, in the opinion of the Referee, is unable to defend himself; or
  4. when a Boxer is in the act of rising

and in all of the above cases, a Boxer shall be considered to be down until he has regained his feet within the boxing ring and is in a position and a condition to defend himself"

Hence, once Khan got up and went down volunatarily according to BBBoC rules, the count should be restarted in accordance with the BBBoC rule and its 10-7 round. This is because rule 32 takes effect as long as the definition of "down" is statisfied. BBBoC should add the following to definition of "down" as is documented in the NY state commision.
" Should a contest who is “down” arise before count of ten is reached and again go down intentionally, without being struck, the referee and timekeeper shall resume count where it left off. "

 

willie was robbed because khan DID not make the count, its a fact.

 

Khan was up straight away. The ref said he has to wait for an 8 count. He went down to one knee because he was confused as he corner had told him to. The ref realised the confusion and told him to get up. There was confusion for Khan as the ref made a mistake.

Like I said ULTIMATELY the mistake was a good thing because Khan was fit to continue.

You prefer Limond win because of a mistake? Don't beat around the bush, Limond won two rounds at best!

 

LOL. Even your picture shows Khan on a knee but showing the ref he is ok by holding his gloves up.

 

The ref said he needed to take the 8 count. Khan wanted to fight straight away. The ref said you need to go to 8 so he went to an 8 to wait out the count. As soon as he put his knee down the ref was on 8 anyway. The ref knew this so told him to get up. Basically the ref saved him from making a grave mistake.
