This is such an underrated classic. Diego’s knockdown in the third round and that ending of the first round were crazy.

@Atlas531 8 ай бұрын

@@bankzoz8871 the judge didn't make the decision, the doctor made it. Did you even listen? Also, why stop? Stoppage is if there's good chance of permanent damage to the eye - it was high enough that it wasn't impairing his vision.

@308MiA 6 ай бұрын

That cut wasn't worthy of a stoppage. That happens if it's affecting his eyesight to the most extreme and/or they're constantly lifting a hand to wipe at their eye, which it wasn't, as you can hear Diego talking to the doctor in a roundabout "im okay, it's going down the side, not in my eye, I just had some Vaseline in my eye". And it was, it was running down the eyebrow line and temple. Probably the only reason it wasn't stopped when it got a lot worse.
