I feel like an idiot for deciding to buy ufc tix instead of going.
I spoke with the referee who worked Edwards fight. He said that Kotani was not out after the kick, made eye contact with him, so he let it continue so the fight could be completed.
loretta he wasn't unconscious out. but he was as out as anybody i've ever seen. he even did the head roll back onto the matt. Yves reaction to the ref not stopping was classic. it was almost like he said WTF!
also with regards to the castro schall fight. castro definitely pushed the action and got more strikes in. but i think Schall had a few more "power shots" than castro did.
i do think castro would have eaked out a close desc. if it went the distance.
I agree with loretta. He wasn't out. There was a pause in the action after the kick knocked him down. But he was still functioning. Then as Yves turned to walk away realizing that he was not out,Yves then pounces on him with puches. That when the ref called it off.
the only complaint i would have with the show was the Clementi fight. how two of the judges scored all of those rounds as 10-9 roounds is beyond me. the scoring should have easily been
rd 110-8 possibly even 10-7 that was one of the most lopsided rounds i've ever seen.
rd 210-8
rd 310-9
stringer... icould be wrong but it looked to me that he didn't regain normal thought until edwards jumped on him. it didn't look like he even tried to keep edwards at bay until he realized he was getting punched somemore.
Do you guys know why Yves stopped? I do, because I asked him right after. Edwards stopped because he thought there was a 10-count, not because he thought Kotani was out. He even said Kotani wasn't out yet.
great talent in the show but the refs sucked.
