Are commissions corrupt for not over turning fights that should be over turned?

See Rumble vs that one bum who eye poked TKO'd him.
There's literally no way you can justify that stoppage as legit. Why the fuck didn't they over turn it?

That's why both Gunnar Nelson and Michael Chiesa shouldn't even bother with their appeals. Stupid officials don't want to look bad so they ain't gonna overturn shit, even though both cases are clear examples of fights that should be over turned.

None of those fights you just listed Ware overseen by a commission ....

Eye poking defense is part of the game, that happens when you are a stationary target. In real life there are no timeouts for eyepokes

They are more incompetent than corrupt, but yes.

Yeah, Johnson got his eye poked out in Vegas.

Obviously they don't want to accept a bad call as more people will complain and it equals more work for them.

With the Rumble/Burns incident, they just said that he didn't have an adequate solution and denied it.

UFC is a sport ..why do you even compare it to real life fighting ?

So are you saying It is inevitable that eyepoke would happen in any fight, It is victom's responsibility to defend him/herself from it ? There should be major penalty for those who committed an illegal act, specially if that act caused the result of the fight.

You think they give a shit? "More work"? Not at all, nothing reaches them. People bitch on twitter, low-level MMA media writes a blog here or there, and it goes away.

It's not like the head of the (insert state here) commission is up at night going 'oh no, an MMA call wasn't fair'. Most of them do not give a shit. The current guy in CA seems to care a bit, he's maybe an exception. But for the most part: Nothing.

Bingo. Corrupt is the wrong word. Incompetent and indifferent are more appropriate words to describe the athletic commissions.

horn vs pacman. not so much the judging but the fouls and bad refereeing. i haven't seen so much dirty play since the last time i watched a fenech fight. don't come to australia unless you what a clean bar fight. sorry i mean boxing match.
