Incorrect Result

Post by BobbyDobbs »

The result for Vincent Baccus vs Edwin Williams is recorded as an RTD1 win for Baccus.

It was actually a TKO 3:00. He did not retire between rounds. The fight was stopped by the referee before the bell rang, as you can see here.

That does not matter. "RTD" stands for retired, both for "has retired" and "was retired". RTD wins count as KO's. :TU:

To avoid/lessen confusion in such instances, Australian Commissions rule it KO or TKO at 2:59 of the round, albeit stopped by ref or counted out beyond 3 minutes. ;-)

RTD is for when the fight is stopped between rounds. If accuracy does not matter then yes this is fine. But I know for certain this result is not correct since the bell never rang.

Correct weight IMO. Once upon a time, bell could only be sounded in final round even if boxer is floored, based on clock doesn't stop from "Go" to "O" rule , which in my opinion should still exist.
