With this recent Glover display among many other examples fighters shouldn’t be rewarded for self flagellation.
They know that they have no chance of winning the contest but instead use the situation to show the world " how brave I am, look everyone, look at how tough I am".
Fuck these masochistic exhibitionists, stop the fight when necessary and rob them of their “glory”
The Glover fight should have been stopped in the fifth round. Hill landed a nasty combo that snapped Glovers head back twice. That’s when I said to stop it
The ref should’ve been in charge of the fight, not glover.
They get off on the crowd cheering them to get smashed.
I was watching a boxing match from England where some plonker was getting beat to a pulp but wouldn’t quit cos he got a few extra cheers for continuing.
He was so desperate for approval that he was willing to get his head bashed in for it.
Everything you guys are describing, IS the fight game. It’s likely what brought us all here. You think it’s bad for them to want the attention? We give it to them. What did you pay for the ppv? How many events have you attended? You can’t just blame the fighter or the ref. The crowd and fans are willing participants too. It may not feel like it but we have a direct impact on the fight. The fighters feel and seek it.
The older I get, the more I realize this and the harder it gets to watch someone like Glover take a pounding.
oh fucking stop that shit.
and you were fine with herb dean letting tony get fucked up for life against Gaithje?
a ref should just say, “sorry mate, it’s over”
