@Atlas531 7 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.

Sanchez got smashed in that fight. Basically spent most of the time getting angry because he was being out punched and walking forwards into even more punches because of it. He fights like a council estate chav who knows how to fight but lacks the appreciation and understanding of martial arts so just gets overly aggressive to try to compensate for it.
