| Post subject: | Appeal to be made RE: Cro-Cop vs Al-Turk |
Mostapha Al-Turk's management say they will be launching an appeal against the result of their client's fight with Mirko 'CroCop' Filipovic. At-Turk was stopped halfway through the opening round after covering his face with both hands and turning away following a straight shot from Filipovic. A video replay showed that Al-Turk had been poked hard in the eye by Filipovic, who had thrown his hand forward with fingers extended. "We are going to appeal that, we don't think its right that it should be a TKO. The referee should have got onto the eye poke," said Al-Turk's agent Ken Pavia. "Look at Henderson v Franklin at UFC 93 in Dublin. Franklin got a timeout when he got eye-poked. "With the fight taking place in Germany we aren't sure what the protocol is, but we will put our appeal in writing and see what we can do." Filipovic has reportedly left the UFC since getting the win over Al-Turk last night. UFC president Dana White says the Croatian has reneged on a verbal agreement and signed for DREAM. With Al-Turk now 0-2 in the UFC there is a high chance of the organisation dropping him if he cannot get last night's decision overturned.

Yeah well the problem is that you can raise an appeal but I heard that there is no way to turn around a judges decition after the fight and it has never been done so its probably just a lot of waist of time and energy. Better to concentrate on convincing Dana and co that he is worth another shot and I dont think this is the way to do it. But then Im no expert
