    First of all, they need better looking round card girls over there (Thailand?).
    Second, if it's the guy with the blue gloves that ended up in bad shape, it seems to me
    he showed no ill effects at all in the last round. Maybe he was already in bad shape; had he
    been knocked out in previous fights?

    Need more info here, amigo.

    First, i agree. Better round girls. 100 percent.

    Second.He has never been knocked out before. The Thai fighter is 32-2 with 20 Ko's. I think he was rushed to hospital more info will be in tomorrow.

    It looked like another ring tragedy for a minute. Ref should of stopped it when he wobbled. But he took maybe another 5 big shots while a sitting duck.

    Thai fighter record. 32- 2 with 20 Ko's but I am amazed at who he was fighting a bunch of debutants. Well, most of them were probably x- kick boxers that crossed over to boxing. But amazing most are just starting boxing lol. But still the guy has never been stopped and it looked like that was his first time going down and didn't know that it's OK to go down when you cherish your life.

    I thought the ref did an excellent job. I'm fine with the stoppage but I would have been fine if he'd let it go on a bit more. The fighter was obviously rocked, but he was on his feet, dodging, and punching. If a fighter can defend himself then he deserves the right to continue. Those are the rules. He should have taken a full count and maybe he would have recovered, but as soon as his knee touched the canvas he sprung back up. The ability to beat the count by one is a good indication that he wasn't as badly hurt as maybe people thought. I just hate to see fights called off when both fighters are still on their feet. The propensity to stop fights early and not give rocked fighters a chance to recover is a bad trend in the sport.

    Is you serious? I know you love Oscar Fishnets i see that. But that Thai fighter was a sitting duck. And took 7 unnecessary punches. He was all over the place. Did you see the scary result where was being kept awake in the corner and not dose off. My friend the ref should of seen the wobble and the kid was in no shape to continue as brave as he was it's not good to keep taking punches in the head from a pro fighter where you are not defending youself.

    KEY WORD is he was fighting back but was not defending himself. He was actually fighting on instinct. Because he was all over the place doesn't have his legs under him.PLEASE DON'T REF!
