3:25 "That's another story" haha love it

[@borisbojanov]

It should have been 4 Red cards; the first three cards should have been for jostling then at least one yellow card for yelling in Bryce's face. I count 3 elbow hits to the head before 6min. the ref should be punishing these actions because the act of letting it slide makes the bout unfair, which is the reff's main goal.

He just passed in my fencing club in France ! He is soo good ! And Savage.

[@leis0ng]

Just casually watching this thinking how insane of a bout this was until i noticed i know the video ref personally 😂

[@marclography]

Do you have footage from Bogdan Dolzhenco? Would be great to see some of them!

[@billzhang709]

I am new to fencing. Hitting hand is OK. I just happened. I dont think it was done on purpose. but 0:58 elbowed opponent was on purpose and unnecessary.

[@CyrusofChaos]

There was a lot of animosity here

[@njasow5234]

Pretty sure the latvian didn't like how luoie didn't apologize after flicking his hand at the beginning, which caused all the tension and aggressiveness.

[@Friendguystarcraft]

He’s fencing in a totally unsafe manner and yelling in Louie’s face. Refs need to be watching this guy closely.

[@njasow5234]

@@Friendguystarcraft yeah, totally agree, but it also wasn't very class to not apologize after hurting your opponent's hand.

[@CyrusofChaos]

That may be true, and Louie certainly should've apologized for that, but Kuceba seems to cause problems in every bout I've seen him fence

[@borisbojanov]

Fencing is a sport where your hand can get hit, you can just ask for extra time. no one should apologize for fencing you. Full contact is out of the question, why can a flick to the hand cause you to go ape shit? Poor mental.

IM BLIND IM DEAF I WANNA BE A REF

[@adjd1576]

Well, this was a passionate bout...

[@CyrusofChaos]

That's one word for it

[@padmiral]

Is coaching from the sidelines allowed? Also, is it acceptable for teammates/friends/coaches etc... to try to influence the referee so much?

[@filidino06]

Coaching from the sidelines is the primary way of coaching while somebody’s on the strip. The second one isn’t illegal I don’t think, it can just be annoying for the ref tho and they can card you for excessively harassing them

10:45 REDCARDDDDD

[@adjd1576]

Latvian looks like the stereotypical Disney baddy lol...well, except for the pink mask
