[/b][/quote] I wasn't criticising it, I'm just saying that it's your [i]thing[/i]. I was all for the ban being 70 weeks when I heard it yesterday, but in light of Attoub saying that it happened when he couldn't see and t was an accident that happened for a tenth of a second while he was fighting with Bryan Young, I'd now love to see the video of those few seconds (id there was a camera pointing towards it). Because it looks bad in the picture but everything looks bad in a still frame. I can't help but think of the Alan Quinlan gouging incident last year when the slow motion sky cameras made it seem like a 5 second incident when really it all happened in half a second. Now I'm not saying I believe Attoub, as he seems to change his story alot. But more evidence would be nice when handing out a 70 week ban. And I'm also starting to come around to this arguement of it being the same judge fella that banned Tincu. Can't object to his finding in relation to Dupuy though. 23 weeks is about right. [/QUOTE]
