Call me Pedantic but......

Post by stujones »

Right, I know this is pedantic and personally I am glad nothing happend of it (so far) but I think from TV there was two things I was shouting at the TV should (one still could) have happend.

1) David Barnes should have some kind of fine for kicking over the chair after the fight. I don't think that was his own property. Sure, it wasn't a Judah esque incident - but look at the fine he had for throwing the refs stool. That one I admit is a bit more subjective.

2) Ryan Rhodes should have been disqualified. This is not subjective, as soon as a member of the corner enter the ring then a disqualification happens - Marco Antionio Barrera lost vs Junior Jones officially by disqualification in their first meeting. Peter McNeeley lost to Mike Tyson via a disqualification. For WHATEVER the reasoning, the minute a cornerman enters the ring it is a DQ.

When Ryan Rhodes stumbled and was struggling to get to his feet, his cornerman went into the ring - technically, he should have been DQ'd.
