Shamrock/Ortiz fight Bad Stop.

Looking I'm hate Shamrock, I think hes something of a poser and a tool, but I have to say that he got a raw deal.

I've seen people take way more punishment than that before the Ref stepped in.

Shamrock looked like he was defending well and even was going for submissions. Tito had a flurry but it looked like they weren't fully connecting.

The fact that Ken jumped right up after the stoppage shows that he wasn't hurt too bad or he was too out of it.

Ken got screwed. I was hoping Tito would kick his ass, but this was a screw job.

There needs to be a third fight and this time no matter what happens the should be no ref stoppage.

Yes. I am having no doubt that Tito would have won that fight, but that
was definately a BS stoppage.

Those were HARD unanswered shots, and Ken was in no postion to get out anytime soon.

Ken didn't have his hands up at all and didn't defend one of those elbows also he wasn't trying to move out of the way so that means he wasn't going to do shit other than lay there and take elbows for the whole time with his hands down.

If the ref let the the fight go 3-5 seconds longer, 2 things would of happened Shamrock would of been cut maybe even KO'd. But we wouldn't have this bullsh!t about a earlier ref stoppage

Shamrock could of recovered, and continued to fight. I've seen fighters get there face stomped in a lot worse and still was able to continue the fight.

Seems like the refs try to stop fights before any chance of injury. Nothing worse then training 6 weeks before a fight and having a ref stop the fight before you get a chance to fight. If a fighters gets stunned or rocked a bit he should have a chance to make a comeback. We have seen fighters get stunned, knocked down and still comeback to fight and WIN!!!

 

Ken was going for the heelhook if Herb wouldnt have stepped in Tito would have been tapped out soon after.

I think it just cheated the fans who payed 40 bucks to watch this thing and they only get 1:00 of the fight.

It wasn't a brutal KO, the ref should have made damn sure that Ken was done before stopping the fight.
