great fights, tough call on fight of night
Battle vs. Carter, obviously you weren’t watching the same fight. Ref didn’t have to tackle him, but he did prematurely stop the fight.
Then how did the ref end up on top of Battle in the center of the cage, leaving Carter off to one side?
While the crowd did not agree with the stoppage it was the right call. Jason took some very hard blows to the head and was not able to stop them. The refs here in Houston have a History of not letting a fighter take alot of damage on the ground. From my angle
directly behind Jason’s corner it looked like he was not defending himself. When he came back to his corner he asked if he went out. If you have to ask then you went out. Even if only for a brief moment. Jason will be back strong and he will not let himself get into that posistion again.
Jason was not out, he was still moving on the ground and had backdoor right when the ref stopped, both Jason and Kenneth did not know what was going on. For a pro fight that ref stopped the fight too soon. Period!
great fight card legacy first rate all the way but robo’s fight was the best of the night the guy was taking so much trash that he could have filled a landfill with everything he was saying and robo let his fists do his taking WAY TO GO PROFESSER CLASS ACT ALL THE WAY WE ARE ALL VERY PROUD YOU YOUR FIRST OF MANY BELTS
Any footage of the fights?
The Battle vs. Carter was a smash carter came out with that lame kick and got his head knocked off if you think it was stopped early why was he asking ” DID WE FIGHT ,WHAT HAPPENED” anybody asking those questions had to be knocked out. Oh yaeh if he wasnt knocked out why was he tying to submit the ref. Facts ladies and gentlemen not cause i was rooting for a fighter!
