    Thanx for the translation then...

    I'm surprised though that from that single comment I made I'm a moron who cannot accept that a fighter has chin issues. I'm well aware that a lot of fighters have chin issues, even ones who probably have better chins than you could have issues with their chins at a certain level of boxing.

    Maybe you read something wrong, or I wrote it in a misleading way, but I'm not making any excuses. I simply stated he got caught with a punch he didn't see coming and that he had very poor survival skills. I did say he may have a suspect chin (there I am admiting that fighters can have chin problems), but that the biggest problem for Silakh was his crappy survival skills, and that's true. He didn't get flatten by a single punch, he got rocked but because of his bad survival skills he kept getting hit until he was legitimately KO'd. I merely described what happened without calling him a glass chin fraud.

    I understand a lot of people have projection issues, but just because the guy in the reflection of your monitor is a moron, it doesn't mean the person reading the same messages you are is one too :yep

    I agree with this post.... I just posted a similar comment on a different thread.

    Refs are way too quick to call a fight off immediately. I don't think he would have been able to recover because he did eat some solid shots in the corner after he was already hurt.

    But how the hell can you immediately wave off a fight before the fighter has even hit the canvas. Some fighters have good recovery skills, which is why an 8-count should be given. Then if the fighter is still wobbly and on ***** street, then you call it off.

    Again, I'm not sure Sillahk would have made the 8-count or been able to stand...... but you have to at least start an 8-count.

    Look at Kenny Bayless counting Paul Williams out when he was unconscious from a Sergio Martinez left hand............
