Both fighters knew each others gameplans going in, Pettis go for the knock out, Clay to TD and g'n'p, who was more effective? I cant understand what you are saying about intent to finish the fight, almost every post of yours is a rehash of the last, and mine is too so thats no criticism. But as Will said, rules are rules, and Pettis knew this as much as Clay did going into the fight It was a close fight, but Clay won, intnent has nothing to do with it other than an entertainment aspect, which I agree with Let's just agree to disagree, you are a good poster, but we arent going to change each others minds so to take this any further is a bit pointless.
