Quite true - the ref blew the call on that one. There should have been a point deduction, imo. What surprised me even more was that the commentators - particularly the perpetually grandstanding Teddy Atlas who LOVES to second-guess officials, didn't say a WORD!! atsch I can guarantee you that if something like that happened on some FNF undercard fight, Atlas would be calling for an unwarranted DQ - perhaps even yelling at the ref like he did in that other fight! :nut
Yeah, he could of been DQ'd right there. Anyhow, I never saw the shot that put down Jaidon in the 1st, looked more like a slip, loss of balance, he blocked all those shots. Pretty shitty move on Bika's part.
It was a legitimate KD - but the shot which Codrington put Bika down looked MUCH more damaging, imo. Nonetheless, Bika was rocking him throughout the fight. Codrington looked out on his feet at the end of several rounds, and seemed to stumble back to his corner. I wouldn't say a DQ was warrented, but certainly a point deduction.
Every fight that everyone has mentioned , were great fights ...But yeah this one was awesome may have been the best I've seen in a long time. There was just so much drama. Great , great fights this year.
