Very cool of Wolverine to own his foul. So how did he not get penalized? He felt he was fouled as well. And sometimes it’s hard to judge these slaps.

The official score is the score. But I respect him saying he fouled in round 1. That was a violent contest.

Ko Chris just got revealed to be a season 2 coach? Big news.

I just got kicked out on my xbox (just had to refresh) and the viewers count said 78,734 watching live.

Yeah, at the end of the day, the fight was 48-47 clearly to all viewers, Wolverine won first 3, Turp last 2 and they both got away with some fouls, but none that altered the fight, so I'm cool letting them go. I think it all worked out as it should have in this case.

Damien Dibbell with the best walkout song ever, lol, never thought i would hear that anywhere.

Tough break for Nate losing the coin toss, don't think he will be able to eat a shot from Dibbell. Be interesting if he can

It was be cool if they meet up again in the future. Respect to them both. That was badass.

What was it? Post the youtube video of it if you could. I had to go get my dog dinner and missed it.

Holy shit lmaoo dude was absolutely rocked

One and DONE! Wow! Good call by the ref, he gave him every chance (I noticed they are counting all the way to 10 now at this event), but he stumbled stepping towards him.

Personally, I kind of wished they'd use a 20 count or something. Give these guys in Slap some time to recover. What's the point of having 1 minute recovery time if you never use it.

 

[IneedSometop]

IMO they should arm wrestle or something to decide who goes first and not do a coin toss

Wish they'd let it go if the other dude can stand up and just be a little rocked. Just give em their recovery minute and go on.

Man the thing that sucks about this sport is that many times the flip of the coin dictates who actually wins.

I don’t know of any other way for it to be FAIR, though.

Random thought: Greg Hardy should be on Power Slap!

I suggest Arm wrestling or something similar. Maybe a 2 out 3 Rock, paper, scissors. The spectacle would be cool

Is it me, or Power slap guys try to go back up too quick and they get fights stopped cause of it? They beat the count but since they are still wobbly despite having at least 2 more minutes to take another they still get stopped.

You know what.

I like your suggestion WAY more than a coin flip.

Thanks! and I totally agree about getting up too quick, that hurt Burnard there. But then again, I guess when you're rocked, you're not thinking too clearly. haha

I'm still not convinced the coin flips aren't rigged for betting purposes. They don't even show them publicly.
