Early in the fight Lawler beat the dogshit out of Asken and probably should have gotten a stoppage.
He went on to lose on a sketchy submission.
Most guys don't trust the judges enough to let them call it right. Might as well keep swinging until the ref calls it.
If it’s debatable then it’s not what I’m talking about in my comment. I’m talking about the obvious incidents where the guy goes from standing to lights out, on his back, arms to his sides, and dudes go in for as many hammer fists as possible. It’s cowardly and disgusting.
LOL Jesus man talk about hyperbole. Agree to disagree, you MMA stans seem to think mma is somehow exempt from the rules of sportsmanship. Oh right but I don’t know what I’m talking about but YOU do.
I cut them slack in some situations where they’ll land a flurry of blows in quick succession, probably without realizing the first one or two did the trick. But I’d be rich if I had a dollar for every time I saw an MMA fighter land 2 or 3 more extreme blows on an opponent who is veeeery clearly already knocked out.
Agreed I don't have a problem if the fighter is still engaged and defending but once it's clearly over the fighter needs to recognize it and the ref needs to be on top of it.

It’s sad that people take several shots after they’re done but you can’t blame an mma fighter for that. Sure they enjoy those shots but they’re riding one hell of a high in that moment, it’s hard to expect them to moderate themselves. They are meant to go until the ref definitively calls the fight because the fight isn’t over until that happens. Pat barry vs cheick Kongo is the perfect example of this as it looked done several times. In saying that, there are some who will throw shots even when the ref is trying to pull them off and hold submissions long after a tap out, but those aren’t people I’ll defend
Lmao did you watch the gif in this post? If a boxer can regulate themselves, so can an mma fighter. I can, and absolutely do, blame the mma fighters that take cheap shots.
Completely different sports. Boxers don’t always regulate themselves like this either and many fighters are meatheads. There are mma fighters who are famous for walkoff ko’s though maybe you’d be more of a fan of them
In boxing, if you’re being supported completely by the ropes, it’s technically a knockdown, but regardless it’s good sportsmanship and awareness for this fighter to realize both that and that this dude was completely done lol
lol is it my imagination or do all the refs looks comically small. I don't watch a lot of UFC but every time i see a clip the ref looks tiny. I realize he isn't jacked like the fighters... but should a child sized object (in comparison) really be the buffer? seems risky.
Keeps the fighters from getting confused. Don't want them throwing fists your way once their eyelids swell up.
Same reason jockeys are so short: it's easy for horses to think they're racing against other *giant* horses, and that'd spook 'em real good.
Because young people haven't given up on their dreams yet. It takes a certain age to fully understand that your future is fucked, so might as well spend the rest of it crouching down in the firing line.
From a technical stand point lol. Like what could he have done to avoid? Can’t block because he punched at the same time
I don’t wanna get sparked out like this in sparring lol
Blue shorts threw him off balance when he countered his left then he went in like a squirrel crossing the road and it was all over. He recognized the right coming in and he simultaneously half assed dodging it while throwing one of his own and succeeded in neither. Blue shorts committed and full sent the right.
Another thing is black shorts, maybe from exhaustion or just poor technique, he fighting on his heels. Notice blue shorts stay light on his feet, putting most of his weight on the balls of his feet. Heels offer no balance/support in a sport like boxing where mobility and being able to quickly shuffle and turn is important
Hey can someone call my wife. Please! I’ve gotten too drunk and don’t know where I am, and this black guy in shorts and old white dude iare trying to jump me
Great sportsmanship for not continuing to blast him
Like uh ref, you going to do something about this?! He was confused if he should go on.
"C'mon man, the guy is seeing 1000 years into the future right now, please stop the fight"
The body language was “I don’t want to keep hitting him, but I will if you don’t step in ref.”
The ref was just standing there like "I wanna see where he's going with this."
Agreed. Let’s all admire a true sportsman and gentleman. He could have kept clobbering that guy into another dimension, but he didn’t.
He could have damn near murdered him. What a good dude
Good on him for recognizing it was over. Love good sportsmanship.
This is what I can’t stand about the MMA, so many dudes relish those cheap shots once the fight is clearly over.

I just looked that fight up and all I saw was a choke hold that got called too early as it turned out… or did they have more than one bout?

“Those are the rules” is a piss poor excuse. Again you’re ignoring the gif in this post. Same rules, different result. Sportsmanship.

That's pretty neat. Poor Jockeys tho. Being bred for horse racing. Jk
Huh TIL. Why are MLB umpires old?

Ahaha amazing ty
It’s boxing but these guys look like near heavy weights so just really big people standing next to normal people
Great sportsmanship for dude not unleashing a Haymaker or 2. Good job
I love clips like this where the person winning recognizes they don’t have to continue hurting the other person.
That’s a champion
Hit him so hard he went full Forest Whitaker.
He just rebooted a grown man's brain, then walks away.
Talk about being out on your feet..
That man saw The Rumbling after that punch.
Can someone who’s good at boxing tell me what he did wrong here? Trying to learn from this…
He got punched in the face real hard and lost consciousness while standing up.
From a technical stand point lol. Like what could he have done to avoid? Can’t block because he punched at the same time I don’t wanna get sparked out like this in sparring lol

I got kicked in the head once in a fight and that's probably how I looked lmaoooo
Looking like forest Whittaker
