I think yo...I agree with some of this, but not all. I think you are overlooking the more important point: there are too many inept/amateur people working in important roles in boxing. ie often it is cock-up rather than conspiracy. Sure, maybe Adam is right and the time-keep was 'in on it' - but tbh, I think it is more likely he messed up just like he/she has probably done a million times before but not at such an important point for it to be obvious.<br /><br />On the stoppage, I don't overly agree. Dubois kept getting knocked down (or taking a knee) - but they weren't from repetitive punches. On the other hand, when the fight was stopped, Lerena was taking repetitive massive punches to the head without fighting back - it was hard to watch. I think in heavyweight boxing that means the fight should be stopped. There is a genuine discussion to be had about whether a ref should take into account whether the round is about to end and whether that should be part of his considerations when ending a fight - but there isn't really a rule for that is there? Also potentially falls into my cock-up rather than conspiracy theory - was Foster on the ball enough to know there was literally no time left off the round? I have no idea.<br /><br />I only watched the fight when it was live - so maybe misremembering - but thought I'd share a counter view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300627655477920602.post-65241942474886179792022-12-06T08:59:04.969-05:002022-12-06T08:59:04.969-05:00Yep.
