@jaypettry @Grabaka_Hitman Those Phoenix cards were awesome - @InvictaFights and @shanknapp matched them well!

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

@Scott_Fontana UFC are allowed by @abcboxing to self regulate, so it could absolutely be done.

[Invicta FC @InvictaFights]

@sdbcsteve Most states won't even let us have open scoring.

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

@lthomasnews @lthomasnews certain commissions push referees to take points and be proactive while others (and promotions) don’t.

@ufc @ESPNPlus Seems fair to tell them the score instead of having to guess...#livescoring @arielhelwani @lthomasnews

@DeweyO @ChrisCuomo @IngrahamAngle @Lawrence "Post empirical evidence against our view and be deplatformed" "Get vaccinated or you will cast out of society" Are these signs of strength? No. Effective? Often

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

@lthomasnews While I agree with the sentiment, going back and taking a point after the fight is over might set a very dangerous precedent. Davis would have fought differently if the knockdown was counted - referees need to be better educated and get the easy calls right the first time.

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

Between this and the ending of Cejudo/Song, our industry needs strong leadership and to better educate referees on the rules. Fighters are potentially losing millions of dollars because of these issues. @arielhelwani @lthomasnews

[Luke Thomas🏋️‍♀️ @lthomasnews]

This should’ve counted and it’s a crime that it didn’t.

Lamont Roach legit beat Tank Davis whatever else the scores say.

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

@MMAJunkie This is absolutely incorrect. Taking a point has no bearing on the fight going to the cards or not. At any point you can not lose a fight due to injuries resulting from a foul that is called by the referee.

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

@JimMiller_155 Officials needs to be empowered to
#takethepoint
- it's the only sport where officials are asked to deem intent when a common foul occurs.

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

@arielhelwani is 100% right. Referees need to be empowered to take points on all fouls, especially ones that will effect the remainder of the fight, much less end it.

[Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani]

I believe, unequivocally, a point should have been taken from Song on Saturday night. That was an unintentional foul, but it was a foul nonetheless. The first warning needs to be in the locker room.

In the game of American football, no one's trying to go offsides. No one is trying to get a face mask. It's just all in the flow of the game. In basketball you're not trying to goaltend or travel, but there are repercussions.

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

@erikmagraken @JohnMcCarthyMMA A bigger question is why was a foul that directly led to the end of the fight not penalized. MMA needs a complete overhaul of the handling of fouls.

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

@dannyrube Yeah, no reason the fighters with their careers on the line need to know the score...

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

@aaronbronsteter There are some who already do, and ALL should. @abcboxing should push for this. @KansasBoxing has allowed some to attend virtually when they asked.

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

@SeanWheelock leading the Bare Knuckle Fighting referees course in @cityoflenexa - @KansasBoxing leading the way.

[KS Athletic Comm. @KansasBoxing]

@erikmagraken They are still doing it with some of their international show - and @abcboxing allows it
