Comments Thread For: NSAC Head: Upon Further Review, Referee Russell Mora Was Unequivocally Correct

[Roadblock]

I've been saying since fight night that there was a possible clash of heads at the 2:08 mark.

Tessitore kept yelling that Moloney's head was on the left side of Franco's face and that this couldn't have been it. But he completely missed when Moloney entered into that position...coming in on the right side of Franco's face.

These screen shots validate that. Mora made the right call.

Show me on video I can have 100 screenshots appear from low blows to head butts in stills , show me the video where we can see a headbutt on that eye, where there was no swelling before and swelling after or reaction to a head clash .

I watched in 4k res slo mo and cannot find it .

I definitely saw the heads come together on Franco's right eye around 2:08 (52 seconds in).

Said so the night of the fight.

Referees got this one right.

Cover up..cover up.. cover up... There just protecting there college who didn't see sheet...there like a untouchable corrupted gang who runs the show there way... Just a whole lot of dirty deeds done dirt cheap....it's the worst decision I've seen simply because they had a the footage at there disposal to correct it... Anyway.. moving on... I wonder how Franco feels as a fake champ... Your a dog Franco and Robert Garcia is worse.. millions of people know your a heartless liar now....

The only fake wannabe champ is Maloney dude is a cheating rat trying to get a cheap win.

The headbutt was proven already by the nsac

So their argument appears to be twofold:

1. Mora repeatedly said "watch your heads"
2. Mora said "accidental conduct, got the eye" with around a minute to go.

For the first, every referee does that in every fight!

For the second, he observed a head clash, saw an injury, and linked the two things. But we know from the footage that he was incorrect - it was on the other side of the head and it was just rubbing. It didn't cause the injury.

The Lady doth protest too much methinks. The fact that they're coming out with this crap just makes me think more of a conspiracy.

The decision wasn't correct. They're reaching to desperately prove the ref did the right thing. This technology was supposed to HELP the referee! Not to protect him.

We know he can't see everything and can't get everything right. That's why you've got technology there!

So show us the video at the time of the head clash. That photo proves nothing. Also, we're still hearing claims of a thumb in the eye....Show us the clear evidence that Franco was thumbed in the eye. I've watched video of the whole first round at .25X speed many times trying very hard to see a head butt, yet there is nothing to be found....Show us the video ! The corruption is blatant.

Maybe someone can provide a higher resolution upload but in this exchange you can see a clash between Maloney's head and the flesh around Franco's right eye, and Franco motions toward it immediately after

Note: there were a few other head clashes that I didn't bother isolating because this should be evidence enough to allow Mora's call to stand.

That didnt touch Franco has no response at all he would have reacted, the angle doesnt show the gap between, its like your hand passing the other, from behind and a little back you wouldn't know it missed.

Mate that is a glancing blow at best lol. That did not warrant that type of damage.

No sweat flying, no head recoil. That was not very convincing.
The jab/thumb to the eye however was very convincing.
But it’s nice to see you’ve done more of an effort than NSAC so there’s respect for that
