Knocked out cold? You need to rewatch the ending. Groves was clearly awake and was trying to get up and Fitch was basically on top of him. It was another disgraceful refereeing job.
nah man this was the real thing he watched him for 2 seconds and he was out with a leg beneath him no point to continue
Good call by the ref. He was clearly done. I don't know how quickly Groves got up but letting that go on any further would have been dangerous. For the record I wanted Groves to win but you can't argue with that.
I would have given him more time? Knocked out doesn't mean taking a hard shot and breathing for three ****ing seconds before getting up. Knocked out means JMM-MP4. I thought it was a bit early. Had he opened his eyes it would have given the ref a better signal GO watch JCC Sr Mayweather fights. May on the ground eyes closed breathings, gets up to fight again. Championship fight man. Come on!
Fitch basically tackled him as soon as he tried getting up. He was down for about four seconds and and George started making moves to get up, Fitch jumped on him and kept him down. It was egregious.
What does that have to do with the fight? I used to volunteer as an EMT in high school and we'd give people with low blood sugar an oxygen mask even though they didn't need it 90% of the time.
Not even three. I counted on the replay. And hence the surprise on Groves' face on waking up. FFS is FOUR seconds that hard to give to a person in a championship match? That's the debate.
