Hahaha! That backfired big time, Because that bum clearly faked getting knocked out. He may have went down legit, but he wasn't KOd. He thought he was going to get a cheap DQ win.
Good shit by Dracula and the Nevada commission for having replay Because I thought for sure Vic was calling a DQ, as he had it wrong at first by thinking Rigo was holding his head when he landed the "KO" punch. But thankfully due to replay, he saw that wasn't the case and he let go of his head a punch or two before he landed the shot.
Now, of course that was after the bell but both guys were fighting, not just Rigondeaux, so that's why they are saying it was legal. It depends on the ref, but I've always assumed and preferred when refs do something similar - if both guys are still punching when the bell sounds, then that's fine, there is some leeway here. Some refs have a no tolerance policy it seems and I never liked that since guys are often in the heat of the moment or legit don't hear the bell.
Whatever the case, fantastic call. Dude was faking being KOd without question!
