Comments Thread For: Bob Arum is Furious With Referee in Cuenca-Yang Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Macau - Argentina's Cesar Cuenca moved a step closer to boxing history by beating China's "IK" Yang Lian Hui on points to win the International Boxing Federation (IBF) junior welterweight title in Macau on Saturday.

The undefeated Cuenca improved his professional record to 48 wins (2 KOs), just one short of Rocky Marciano's all-time 49-0 record as he won his first world title on his debut outside his home country.

He dominated from the start in a pulsating bout, knocking the unorthodox Yang (18-1, 13 KOs) backwards in the first round, which was controversially ruled a knockdown by inexperienced Filipino referee Danrex Tapdasan.

... and who hired that "inexperienced Filipino referee" for the TR card? I suspect it wasn't Cuenca...

this guy needs to retire.

Ya boy got whooped Bob, deal with it.

Stop being bitter. Referee was very good.

[bigjavi973]

Arum is full of **** here. That ref didn't mess the fight up at all. The ropes held yang up, that's why the ref called it a kd. Also, the ref taking a point from yang for slamming cuenca hard as hell to the mat.

I didnt wanna say because i didnt watch the whole fight, but he looked good to me.

[HanzGruber]

Lmao I didn't like the ref cause he was annoying telling them watch their feet and kept calli timeouts. But that was clearly a kd and he deserved the deduction. We're the cards close cause he got beat easily

[PunchyPotorff]

Ref wasn't that great, but hey... I've seen alot worse.

It's funny though... for Arum and Floydie to hate each other so much, they sure are alot alike. Both whine at the drop of a hat.

HA

I should've bet more money on this. 5-1 odds against Cuenca.

Bob was likely up to no good, as is the case whenever Bobs "furious" with any officials. Didnt work out for him this time...which is good for the sport everytime it doesnt work out for him.

But i wonder if Bob has an option on Cuenca? Crawford-Cuenca? Either way, Cuenca, new player in the division sure makes it interesting at 140. Crawford, Matthysse, Soto, Herrera and now Cuenca. I can see that style giving Crawford and Matthysse problems, Hopefully politics dont play a part.
