So guys do you think Sheeraz should have been disqualified or was the point deduction enough?
@Trinacria13 Problem is referee can can only really DQ Sheeraz if Skeete couldn’t continue otherwise I think with such a serious foul should have been 2 points. Skeete should have taken his time and not been so eager to get back in there, he had more time
@OnlyJoin2Follow It beggars belief that he hit him twice not once I felt sorry for Bradley coz I know he was really up for this fight sort of taken the gloss off the victory for Hamza also. Disappointing
@Trinacria13 It’s a bad foul and it feels wrong that Sheeraz seems to have benefited from such a flagrant foul as well but the rules don’t allow for a DQ there when Skeete continues, I think he had 5 mins he could’ve taken to regroup and should’ve been 2 points
@OnlyJoin2Follow @Trinacria13 Do they not? I thought the ref’s there to enforce the rules regardless of what the fighter wants? What about when Tyson bit Holy, he’d of continued, but it was taken out of his hands. Same when the fella bit big Dave Price.
@OnlyJoin2Follow @Trinacria13 I’m not being facetious btw. Just didn’t think it mattered if the fighter wanted to go on or not..
@79scotty @Trinacria13 The referee could have determined Skeete wasn’t able to continue, absolutely. When the fight did go on then all you can do is take 2 points. Skeete and ref both decided be could continue and the fight went on
@79scotty @Trinacria13 That’s why I’m saying Skeete should have taken the 5 mins and then let him and the ref see what the craic was, when he’s showing he wants back in that quick difficult to say can’t continue, different when you’re missing an ear!
@OnlyJoin2Follow @Trinacria13 He done the ref and Sheeraz (obviously) a massive favour by doing so. For me it’s a DQ. Couldn’t say it was an accidental shot as he was just borderline on his way. It was two pretty hard swings when he was clearly grounded.
@79scotty @Trinacria13 I agree with the morals of what you’re saying and agree it’s a shocker I think it’s difficult to say Skeete wasn’t able to continue or that that Sheeraz was out of control and going to do it again so no longer safe so dont think mechanism exists for DQ
@OnlyJoin2Follow @Trinacria13 I’ve got to be honest and say I think Skeete was cooked by that point. He was fighting well and winning, but hurt and running out of puff. Regardless of what happened i don’t think he’d of survived another 2 rounds. This is all beside the point of course. Just my two cents.
