One of the score cards was misread, and it was supposed to be a majority draw, meaning the overtime round was supposed to happen.

Rematch to occur....

Could result in a refund, since the real result is a draw.

would your book honor the draw? most casino policies are that the scores read in the ring are whats going to be paid at the window.

i got paid dawson/hopkins and they never took it out of my account after it was ruled a n/c.

We are trying to figure it out.  Problem is we don't have power to get the money back from actual tickets paid, as opposed to offshores being able to just overturn it.

The OFFICIAL result was a draw.  It wasn't overturned or anything, it was officially 28-28, 29-29, and 29-28 for Mighty mouse.... making it a majority draw.  It was just read wrong.

Anything overturned another day will never get refunded or reversed for wagering purposes.  But the OFFICIAL result here is a draw, making this situation unique.

anyone that books with pinny, not sure what to make of this

  1. Results will be graded based on the official result at ringside.

  2. A result may be revised or altered after initial presentation by the ring announcer. For wagering purposes, results are not official until verified by officials at the fighting venue. Official or unofficial sanctioning body overturns of a fight decision based on appeal, suspension, lawsuit, drug testing result, or any other fighter sanction will not be recognized for wagering purposes.

I believe people who bet Mccall offshore will get a refund.

Especially with those rules posted by FIMK.

How does a decision get mis-read?  Has Bruce Buffer gone blind, or was it recorded incorrectly by the judge?

...and if the judge did realize the error after it was misread, why didn't someone notify the commission immediately so that they could have started a 4th round right then and there...

I'm not sure.  I don't believe it was recorded incorrectly, because than after any fight a judge could go back and say well I meant to score it one way.  He had to have written 10-8 for the last round, and someone added wrong.

I am not sure if Buffer reads straight off the official scorecards or not.  It is possible they type up something for him real quick, or write it down on his index card.

Hopefully bet365 will refund my bet...
