    As you went on to note, he almost made it. :lol: I had a grand on Morrell to end him at 4/6 and I was still rooting for the guy to survive, though he had taken too much abuse from pretty much the start of the bout.

    They could maybe have had a really good look after 10, he'd started taking too much by then. Guy was so game, though, I do get why neither the corner nor Weeks pulled it sooner, as there wasn't a glaring juncture at which to do so until Weeks did finally step in.

    The blinking was an obvious neurological sign. Remember McClellan doing the same thing? Plus, any reasonably seasoned observer saw he had no chance of winning. He needed a KO but his torque and snap were gone. Morrell would have had to run into a punch at full speed to get buzzed. It just wasn't going to happen. And this wasn't a championship fight. It was a battle of youngbloods. The full context needs to be considered.

    :lol: I didn't expect him to be able to withstand as much as he did but I could just sense the cumulative effect of all the punishment he absorbed was going to catch up with him eventually. I was rooting hard for him to make it to the final bell because he really deserved that for the heart and courage he displayed but I wish his corner had pulled him out.

    When did that start? I don't recall noticing it before 11 or 12, but I may have missed it.

    As I said, personally, I'd have been inclined to take a good look after that 10th. It was getting ugly enough by then.

    Those mandible rumors definitely seem to be unfounded. Hopefully he's okay.

    He'd been down a couple of times as a pro and I remember reading a piece about him that, IIRC, he'd also been down in the amateurs as well albeit I might be remembering that wrong. Either way, the implication was that he didn't hold the best shot. But he certainly proved his toughness tonight and that was an extremely gutsy display, one of the most gutsy ones I've seen in a long time in fact.

    It's a bit crass to say I'd like to see him get another good TV opportunity, but that was a show of uncommon valor alright. First things first, let's pull for some positive news regarding his condition.

    Though Yerbossynuly wasn't ultimately the guy to exploit it, he definitely offered glimpses of some susceptibility to pressure in Morrell.

    Reading Aidos went to hospital after. Hope he is ok.

    That was hard watching him helped back to his corner after such a gutsy performance.
