Sure was. If it was a MMA fight Sergio could have jumped on Williams and hit him 6 more times, just to make sure.
I like the full count - makes it more dramatic. Man, there's some school grils on this site. Probably grew up on WWF or something. If you don't like it go watch the NBA - where soft happens.
I actually loved how the ref counted. KO wins are rare these days. For some reason, I don't like seeing 'TKO' wins when the fighter is deserving of a KO win.
I wouldnt say terrible ref, he was clearly inexperienced in big fights, but Id give the guy a break. He didnt put anyone in danger by counting, it was a rookie mistake. He wont likely be back on the big stage.
