Rockhold/Romero was an early stoppage

[wrestlefan]

They need to let these fights go on a little longer. It was a flash KO... You can come back from those. Think of how many legendary fights we would've been robbed of if these stoppage happy refs were around.

Did Luke steal your girlfriend?

 

[Son of Jamin]

Indeed, Rockhold just sat on his ass waiting for Romero’s follow up punch just out of spite for those pillow fists...

[Breaking]

Yeah, Luke definitely would have won if he’d taken a few more unnecessary shots.

I see your point.

You seem smart.

Nice to see you here on sherdog Yamasaki

 

[Stompatron]

That follow up punch looked like Luke got shot in the face. I don't think he would agree with you

 

[Eme]

Luke didn't get a chance to be a warrior

I know you're being sarcastic but Romero could have knocked him back into conscious with one of his follow up blows and we would've had a fight for the ages on our hands.

The second shot after he was down was brutal

You're contradicting yourself. Romero knocks him back into conscious means he was unconscious and the stoppage was correct.

both of lukes arms are extended straight out in front of him even as the ref steps in. He clearly has no control of them since hes been knocked out. Not an early stoppage at all

You must be joking. Rockhold was out of it from the shot that dropped him. He wasn't even looking at Yoel when he got KO'ed.

 

[DatSamboKid]

This fight was perfectly stopped.

 

[Fossor]

Yamazaki is the only one who does it the right way - he counts to 8, like they do in boxing. If the fighter who was KO'ed moves, he starts the count from the beginning.

 

[The Schmoop]

A stoppage is justified only when feces covers the floor of the octagon.

No. That follow up punch was a missile and if ref didn't step in, what would you think would happen ? Jesus Christ.I thought Branch had Luke in la la land when he had him up against fence and hit him with that 4 punch combo in first round.I think Luke came back to life after 3rd punch woke him.
