[armageto]

Gomez with a strong effort in the last 4th of the fight for another quality IBO defense. Not sure how many times I've lost KO's this season due to the fight being over at the time of the knockdown. I think it's at least 3 or 4.

Good showing by Bowe. Jackson fumbled by not coming into the fight at 100% in training. Still, I thought Jackson won a close fight after sleep walking thru the whole first half. It seems the judges gave Bowe anything close.

Jeffries just tanked the last third. Knew it would be a tough one.

[armageto]

Is there anyway to have universal rules for knock-downs after the bell? If it just comes down to the sanctioning bodies, don't worry about it.

This has happened now 3 times to Jackson. He won the first two, so I didn't bother asking, but on top of not being trained properly, coming on the short end of scorecards I thought he edged, now it's the saved by the bell.

Hats off to Bowe, great fight, don't get me wrong. I just see other guys getting stoppages after the bell and this is the third time it happened to Jackson. I think the 5th or 6th time overall for my guys.

the Sanctioning bodies all have different rules about the 3 knockdown rule and being saved after the bell. so for specific titles we have to go by their rules
