You where saying he was going down when he clearly was standing strong.
Maybe the doc would call time on it but thats the Doc call and he had yet made that call.
It's a contact sport end of the day.
the ref screwed Takem and i'm a big AJ fan but Takem IMO could of gone the distance would prob lose regardless but a TKO is very different from going the distance.
Tigs I am just saying it's the refs decision. May not agree with it, but he's the one who is in the ring and can see in Takam's eyes whether he's with it or not and whether he was going to fight back. I said this one doesn't look like it's going to last I.e. with the first cut over Takam's eye. When both eyes were cut and Takam couldn't see from all the blood pouring into them I knew it was over; he was fighting virtually blind. The Doc had a final word with ref saying, according to the commentary, that next time those cuts open the fight was over. That may well have influenced the ref to call the fight off when he did as well.
