is there different rules than boxing for knock downs. the 2nd round the ref gave the white guy about 2 minutes and he was still wobbling back to his corner.
it was just a bullsh*t robbery…probably fixed.
definitely a fixed fight, le banner was counted for more than 20 seconds in the 2nd round!!!
The only thing on favor I can say about Le Banner that he is still on shape in spite of being this his last fight. Regarding to the referee I don’t understand how he didn’t stop the fight on the second round since Le Banner wasn’t in conditions to continuing fighting. The American was robbed. This referee should be eliminated from performing this role right away and for good.
