I thought the Hamill fight could've been stopped sooner. But there were a lot of KOs and TKOs last night. In fact, I don't think any televised fight went the distance.
Jimmie rewatch the fight. Even Ray Charles could see he was tapping the mat and i believe he acknowledged this after the fight.
Thats because Hamills striking is so poor. He`s improved leaps and bounds since coming to the UFC when his striking was just simply useless. But the guy doesnt know how to finish his dinner.
I'm sure he said he wasn't tapping and that his body was just moving all over the place as he was getting hammered. But it did look like he was tapping.
Mustapha didnt need his head beat on like that. Kongo opened up a wide cut and it was clear he was hurt and not capable of defending himself. The stoppage could have come sooner. The Ref did try to stop Wand Jackson but hey Jackson was in the heat of the moment and punctuation his work. As for Griffin despite the ref being so close he couldnt see the poor guy tapping. Maybe he needs some new specs.
He was definitly tapping. Rashads corner saw it and commented on it in the replay. Plus its very evident to see as he taps the mat at least 4 times. Griffin was too hurt to know what was going on but he defintly tapped.
Reese was doing nothing! Sure, Matt wasn't hurting him too bad. But Andy was not defending himself at all. I would like to see Matt step up, but not too much, yet. I think he fought Franklin too soon.
The guy was ****ed. He was spent by the end of the 1st round. He was quite soft and looked to me like he could make 185 in a blink.
