How was commey robbed? The rd was scored 10-8 for commey. Ref said easter glove touched the canvas so he gave the count. Had commeys gloves touched the canvas in the 12rd. The ref would have done the same. Team commey can file a protest and request for a REMATCH based on the refs error of giving easter the count in the 8th rd. But to use that as justification to say commey was robbed is simply silly. Felix Trinidad gets knocked down 3x in a fight but he gets up each time to finish off his opponent. Easter had never been knocked down or out prior to this fight. Commey has 9,10,11,12 to ko easter did he do it?

Al haymon engages and exploits these boxers to run a business and make money for himself and his fighters. So it's prolly in commeys interest to be less aggressive and lose this fight amd establish himself as an exciting fighter or actor. Look at his bank account. If there is a rematch at all. It will be a yr from now in Vegas under big bright lights and these 2 will headline the fight.
Now, with that said let me address ur 2 points.
1.the refer intervened bcos he believed easters glove had touched, scrapped the canvas. The angle of the camera does not CLEARLY SHOW this. The ref has the BEST SEAT than anyone else in the arena so how can u tell what He saw? There is no standing 8count in an ibf title fight but we r not privy to the arrangement before the fight and team commey can stand on this to appeal for a mandatory rematch. How can u PROVE that the ref was unfair to commey and saved easter from a possible knock out? Can u prove it? Easter hasn't lost or been knocked out or down prior to this fight. So where is the history or burden of proof? Secondly, this was just one punch that surely destabilize easter bjt we didn't see his knees buckle like we did see when commey got hit in the 12. Commey too who hasn't been knocked down in his career also didn't go down even after easter pummelled him. I agree that easter was favored here bcos of "connection man" al haymon but did commey do enuff to pull out a win based on wat we saw from him, commey? No! Maybe u can ask him why he failed to pressure easter more, gave him too much space and also allowed himself to lose the 12rd. Hmmm, hmmmm wink wink!...the ref could also say he was concerned about the safety of easter and wanted to make sure he was safe enuff to continue. There are so many Grey areas. Commey still won the rd 10-8 in lieu of the knockdown. So clearly he wasn't "robbed" outright.

Easter fought with more Azonto skills than commey...jabs, rolling, spacing, uppercut, and he was more energetic and clearly won the 12th. Commey needs to spend more time in bronx prepping for fights so he can understand the psyche and skills of boxers up there. Folks, I think this whole thing was arranged courtesy of all haymon and commeys promoters. Haymon is all about the money and the rematch will be in a yr in Vegas, big. If commey wants to win and ko easter he better bring me to his corner. Everything I told him to do was written. Tuxman06@yahoo.ca

Commey is a professional he does not need state money. He makes enough money to help himself. If he wants help gym he can help set up more boxing gyms in Accra central with upgrade/modern facilities
