Anyone else think Marshall took a dive?

[HOLA]

Lawler/ Amagov was fishy. The knee didn't even land. At least here the punch landed.

 

[Gronkkkk]

I think he definitely took a dive.

I don't think Bellator planned it or paid him money to take a dive, but i think he wanted out of the fight after getting cracked by Manhoef a few times.

It didn't hit him behind the ear. It slid over his shoulder and grazed the back of his head but there was no real contact from what i saw and the way he acted when he went down made it even more obvious to me.

Weird looking, sure. But yeah, its Manhoef dude. Get punched by him.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Just watched the fight. Seemed like they were going at it at first.. Melvin was swinging hard..

But the end sequence definitely looks off..

 

[king of theRing]

So he has a history of taking dives!?!?!?!?

Didnt say dive, but everytime he gets stopped, it's always over dramatic

 

[CoryGraves]

you have to also consider how relentless/generally overaggressive he is when lugging bombs himself...getting KOed in general is one thing, but getting rocked and dropped with his style can make for weird ass landings and reactions/expressions.

No disrespect but Doug Marshal is a brawler who started wearing Manhoef style thai shorts a few years ago. Anybody who thought he was going to come in and beat Melvin Manhoef standing up is f****** high. They guy throws bombs that land sometimes, but has horrible technique, especially going up against a legit kickboxer. Why was he literally taken off of his feet by the punch? Because Manhoef KO'd Mark Hunt, c'mon now...

Sorry, just noticed this. This is text book how not to throw punches. When you get caught throwing like this, it's going to end the same way every time and it always looks ridiculous. Take off the Manhoef/LeBanner gladiator shorts Doug.

Doug Marshall has a history of flopping to the ground, covering his head to get out of a fight. The dude just doesn't have any heart.

Galesic vs. Marshall also looks funny...

 

[PIT FIGHTER]

He's known for being finished awkwardly, fosho.

 

[Ignicious]

It looked as if his right hook didn't connect properly.

 

[TheGreatA]

It was similar to this punch from Manhoef:

There was no contact.

 

[allaf]

No, there was contact, he took a right hand right behind the ear.
If you 've ever spared boxing you know it's a sweet spot.

 

[PandaHunter]

buy glasses that right hook never touched him, you can even slow down and zoom gif.

 

[Jyodog]

live shot: can't see the hit
replay: hit behind the ear

 

[allaf]

Watch the proper replay not a shitty GIF with a bad angle.

 

[Max Power]

He has to work on his selling. That looked phony as shit.

 

[MiroHa]

Manhoef hit him right behind the ear. You could see it pretty clearly in the replay.

 

[Jimmy Tuna**]

The punch bounced off Marshall's shoulder first. After that, I can't see if it connects or not. It's just too fast, but I doubt Marshall took a dive. He's a tough dude with a lot of pride. I don't see him doing that stuff.
