[wynem]

i think the atack in 4:02 is for the right side

[CyrusofChaos]

@wynem what do you mean? david is doing a counterattack with a spin and gerek is just finishing his attack

[wynem]

@CyrusofChaos i don't see it like that

gerek only prepares, he does not stretch his arm

atacck sur la preparation, touchè, point

I think....

[CyrusofChaos]

@wynem but look at what david is doing, it is not enough to have the timing, it is what it looks like and david is spinning to minimize his target. to the director, even if the attack in prep is perfectly timed, it looks like a counterattack if you spin like that

[wynem]

@CyrusofChaos I can accept that reason

see that referee with the bald spot? Thats my dad. :)

[heraclez]

the flick at 7:23 from the right side is SICK!

@ToroQ3000 i disagree i see no real presentation from the right i think that that is the right call... now that being said i think there were many bad calls in this bout.

[CyrusofChaos]

@ToroQ3000 gerek also sold it a lot better than david did

[ToroQ3000]

@CyrusofChaos No. It looks like they both started forward motion & established an attack at the same time, with neither reacting but simply attacking. David just lounged quicker; Gerek's arm is still in forward motion.
