Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr: Bolonti Was Faking, It Was Disgusting!

[Teddy Brenner]

This article says that Bolonti flew back to Argentina on Sunday afternoon, so it is assumed he is ok.

What are you talking about? The ref said break, and that's what pascal did, he got separation and then decked the guy. Nothing cheap about it. Guys punch in the clinch or on the break all the time. Are you new?

There was no separation when Pascal threw that punch. They were still clinched with the ref trying to pull them apart. And even if they had separated, you don't start punching again after a break till the ref tells you to. The rules are very clear about that.
It was a foul by Pascal, no doubt about it, and a really dumb move to pull in a fight as important as this.
Bolonti wasn't expecting to be hit at that point, but he went down instantly, so I think he really was hurt. Could be he was hit in the throat or neck.
I'm sure he could have gotten up quicker though, and there was no need for a stretcher and oxygen.
He's Argentinian though, which means he'll be a soccer fan. Have you seen the way soccer players react if anyone so much as touches them when they are in the penalty area?
Medics, stretchers and oxygen masks are just part of the game nowadays.

Translated from Spanish:

Bolonti says the referee was about to disqualify Pascal, but after a conversation with people from his camp, they decided to make it a no contest, so Pascal could have his lucrative fight against Kovalev.

He says the fight was contracted for 175 and for a minor light heavyweight title, but Pascal couldn't make 175 so they changed it to 180 and not for any title.

It was almost as convincing an act as when Jones got laid out like a surf board on the canvas by Glen Johnson for about five to ten minutes. Little baby tap to the noggin and they both went down like they'd been taken out with a sniper.

Idiot of the month right here lol. Who the **** actually thinks the the Glen Johnson Roy Jones KO was fake wtf are you smoking son I want some. Roy smashed the back of his head so damn hard on the canvas on took a clean hard shot to the temple that put him down I mean I know most things in this world are fake but this wasn't one of em.

No doubt, I am Roy's biggest fan but he got crushed by a temple shot that night and I know it wasn't staged. I was there and waited the 15 mins until he got up and was placed on his stool, refusing to be stretchered out. I never expected Roy to lose that fight but that night confirmed to me what I was thinking in the first and second Tarver fights. Roy was shot after moving down from heavyweight.
