thats the issue.....carwin won on that basis.....
its not a win or lose thing for the fight...i couldnt care less who won(i thought carwin would)
its a safety issue....look at carwins last fight with mir....they waited way too long to call it......look at the last strikeforce event with cyborg. that fight should have been stopped way earlier......these refs need to stop dicken around before one of these big org's have a death on their hands...
bench
disagree. its a fight. just because you get rocked for a second, its a fight, that happens, whats important is what happens after you get rocked, all different levels of rocked,, if you continue to stay the same or get worse, no "intelligent" defense or even muster some type of strike, then its over, that was almost what happened but after he got rocked for a sec, he regained senses and held on. its a fight and people get rocked, btw carwin couldnt put him away and he had control to do so.
most importantly above all else, it's a business, most important, no way was that fight getting stopped pre-mature, unless it was a horrific beating brock was getting, just constant hard face shots with no guard at all, then it woulda got stopped. they're fighters, it's a hw title bout, people all over world and fans paid money to see, ref was smart to let it keep going,,, brock it 6 whatever 260 whatever, one more punch, although it could, wouldn't make that much difference if he was ko'd.
lastly, the money that would have to be paid to grease a fighter in something like this must be astronomical amount because of the short and long term money that could be made off a possible win. it's partly the reason why athletes are paid well because it detours them from taking dives for short term money.
