What a blood thirsty crowd. Despite the heart of Diego to stay in the fight, that cut is worthy of a stoppage.

@Atlas531 6 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 5 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.

Sanchez is so stiff and weight so forward biased that he eats the power of every shot he gets hit with. I've never seen people so impressed with someone gritting their teeth and being a human punching bag. I don't get it.

@JustSomeGuy69420 7 ай бұрын

The only thing worse are guys with zero base or rootedness to their stance. Those are the ones that end up finishing by decision most of the time. Dominick Cruz is a great example. Can't fire a cannon from a canoe. Bouncy floaty stance is not great for knocking people out.

Je crois que c'est une erreur d'avoir tenté la soumission au 3ème round. Il aurait dû le boxer. Je ne suis pas un expert du MMA
