If Tom was the challenger and winning

[jeskola]

if Tom was the challenger and winning that fight. Same eye poke. Does he continue?

Fuck off

 

[TheStruggler]

Oh wow a bloody nose from a jab. Stop the bench presses! Again if that jab was so strong and devastating, then why did Gane have to resort to double eye fingered bangered Tom then? Gane was fading hella fast and hella hard, and Tom was walking through those baby dick punches like you be walkin through those unlimited buffets. So why would Gane resort to cheating by way of double eye fingered bangered Tom if he was winning?

 

[orca]

Well we won't let logic get in our way either will we. Strikes that are blocked don't count as significant strikes. The count for the round? Gane 30 Aspinall 27.

ok bottom line tom ate more damaging strikes from gane

Yes. Three more. An utterly insignificant amount. So maybe it's time to calm the hell down with a) pretending blocked strikes count as significant strikes - they don't and b) that the fight was some sort of one sided massacre. This is just plain bullshit as you have now finally acknowledged.

I doubt it, he really doesn't like being eyepoked it seems.

Because Gane was easily winning and poked Tom, by accident ?

Toms dad decided he couldnt fight

it wasnt a massacre but dont pretend aspinal was doing great
when in fact hes throwing strikes that arent damaging
while gane landed the more damaging strikes

your one of those people here who believe toms striking is on par with a muay thai champ like gane right?
lmao

You go ahead and tell me where and when I've ever said that. Go on. I'll wait.

Or are you just making shit up again?

 

[El Fernas]

Winning or losing, the challenger will continue like 100% of the times from most fouls, specially ones that are NEVER called intentional and will never lead to a DQ win, we have seen others put a show for the cameras to get the DQ win, but those were different type of fouls.

 

[Alpha_T83]

Maybe. I definitely think there is some psychology behind being the challenger and potentially never getting your title shot again, and being the champion and retaining the belt.

But that doesn't mean he SHOULD continue. It means the athletic commissions shouldn't force the fighters to make these decisions, and should have DQ'd Gane.

 

[jeff7b9]

This whole game is just spreading cheeks to ram cock in ass

I'm not sure that would really qualify as a "game"


Sounds more like an activity.

Games usually have a fairly clear set of rules and a criteria to determine who wins.

from UFC brass down to the competitors(jon jones belt tomfoolery)

Tomfoolery is an underutilized little gem of the English language.
Love to see it make an appearance every now and again.

I am also a big fan of shenanigans and malarkey

Instead he can collect more sponsorship dollars as champ

Dude wipes.

so you whiney vaginas can cry like pussies about it.

Hmmm. Anthropomorphism of the vagina... right on.

Or is it personification?


I mix those two up sometimes.

That would be fine except you wrong. Gane was fading hella fast and Tom was walking through his baby dick punches and lighting him up. Ganes calf was about dead and Tom landed a massive calf kick right before the double eye fingered bangered. Thats why Gane did what he did. Gane knew it was over for him, so he double eyed fingered bangered Tom.

 

[TheBulge]

I'm amazed Aspinall fans are still using the stat sheets of the fight to claim Tom wasn't losing. You expose yourself for only looking at stats not realizing they barely mean a fucking thing without context. Everybody who watched that fight saw Gane land harder, more solid and more damaging shots by far. Compubox is a shitty system for lazy fools who don't want to rewatch fights or if they have an agenda.

then why did Tom quit if Ganes punches were so weak?

weak enough to break his face and bust up his nose

 

[Tweak896]

I think Tom did some quick math in his head, realized if he stepped out he could fight another day as champ without risk. The fight wasn't the normal Aspinall 1st round fight he was used to, cutting through everyone like butter, which makes me think his cardio does suffer later on and he rather get a second shot at it. Afterwards he was also pissed he didn't get a DQ win, probably to not fight Gane again. Now he has a doctors note, I think he's stretching the time for training and using it to make adjustments.

As a challenger, Tom probably would've gone berserk and go for broke. There's no guarantee of another title fight, so I bet he goes for KO in for rounds 1 and 2, then gets it or gets pieced to decision or finished by Gane later on. Still I think he would've been compromised but just do it out of need.

Gane was winning the fight, but it was only the first round. nothing super significant happened in it other than the eyepoke imo. hw fights anything can change in a blink of an eye.. or a finger or 2 in the eye lul.

Tom wasn't lookin that good, but he was still in the fight. No way to know what could've happened cause of the dq, anything else is speculation. If the fight kept up the way it was going, gane woulda won. But we'll never know.

Man, if only one of those fighters was known for winning fights in minutes because of their explosive style and never having had long fights, while the other was known for winning long fights because of their great cardio and technique

Like could you imagine our ability to predict what was likely to happen if the fight contined past that first round if we knew that about the fighters???

 

[Deathmask]

We're not even in the same calendar year anymore.

Seek help and move on, you can get through this.

It can be like that. but anything can happen at hw. regardless gane was winning and since we've never seen tom in deep waters we got nothing to go on for that. But yea things point to gane winning. But you never know. Hw's things can change in an instant. we've seen it many times before.

Gane was “framing” with his lead hand it is something many Muay Thai based counter fighters do. It often unfortunately leads to unintentional eye pokes when it’s with MMA gloves. If you watch the Yan fight (on the same card) Yan framed Merab the entire fight which also aids in countering takedown attempts because it tracks the head for level changes. It was an accident.

Also Gane was obviously winning and he had just begun to really work and had gotten into his flow and sense of distance and timing down. Plus he had fractured Tom’s orbital with a punch and had him hurt (the fracture wasn’t from an eye poke). It was an unfortunate accident. People acting like the poke was purposeful are ridiculous.
