    It looks like Vicente might actually be dead.

    Is it me or is that ring tiny?

    Not sure what the ref was thinking here though...

    It's a tiny ring if you're Rondon. The way Foster shepards him from corner to corner is horrible. Joe Louis wishes he was that menacing.

    Not as bad as a count as Ingo Machen imo.


    Machen out cold and his 2nds IN the ring tended to him, and the ref just counts to ten like it relly matter.

    :lol: Maybe he thought if he screamed in his ear he would miracuously come to and jump to his feet.

    I love it when they complete the count. That's old school and it shows respect for the fighter.
    There's another thread currently showing amazing occurences of fighters getting up when they look like they are completely out.

    Herans-Shuler was a great KO.
    The referee was right to count him out.
