Besides the poor officiating, injury obtained in the third, and parasitic/opportunistic illegal tactics by Marty Colby truly embodied the spirit of America yesterday: Gritty, aggressive, hard working, and a heart of steel.
Positives:
Colby brought it from start to finish like he said he would, rocked Marty in 4 out of 5 rounds, up on the score cards until the stoppage in the fifth.
Negatives:
Marty faking an injury when Colby hurt him with a body kick, the ref quickly stopping the fight anytime Marty complained, not giving Colby time to recover on two eye pokes, blows to the back of the head, and of course the questionable busy work stoppage.
A disappointing end to a poorly officiated fight BUT Colby showed what he’s made of and why he has the heart to match his trash talk.
I can truly say he’s won me over as one of my favorite active fighters. The champ will be back!
