OSP ‘stoppage’

[West_Hammer]

jesus christ did that ref want OSP to die? Does he even know what a choke is?!

 

[MysticCam]

What should he have done differently?

Apparently he missed the tap but it was moot as he was out a second later.

 

[Brother Numsi]

Hell you talking bout?!

Actually stopping the fight would have been a good start, Latifi let the choke go and the ref didn’t even seem to notice OSP was out.

fucking terrible refereeing.

shold have stopped it when he dropped him for the second time. once the choke is in and ovince isn't defending it, it isn't really the ref's fault, but it's fucking stupid that he didn't stop it from the blows earlier.

A little dramatic don't you think? It takes a little longer than that to be worrisome.

yes -- even after ovince fell down and latifi left the area the ref was just futzing around, still didn't 'stop it'

Ref couldn’t see the other hand from where he was standing. But, it’s his job to watch the hands when someone is getting guillotine raped after being rocked twice

Been in position to see the tap. I saw the tap, even before DC replayed it. LOL

These referees will get a fighter killed one of these days. LOL

However, it was a human error by the ref, and not incompetence.

Glad someone else saw it, ref didn’t ‘wave the fight off’ til OSP was flat on his back.

[Sapphorous]

He was giving OSP a chance to be a "warrior"

Possibly over dramatic, it’s 2am in the UK and I’m inebriated, but he didn’t wave the fight off even after Latifi let go and OSP slumped to the floor.
