Tallison isn't even close to going out

[Jackonfire]

Wasn't nearly as bad as the Pavlovitch stoppage over Lewis.

I think Lewis was closer to being done vs Pavlovich than Teixeira was vs him.

I don't. The majority of those punches miss. Lewis is literally pushing himself up as Dan steps in to stop it. He didn't need to grab the cage to stand back up. And he didn't fight the ref due to being concussed the way Tex did.

You don't have to be nearly out for a fight to be stopped.

Don't know why the ref stopped it in this instance, but many TKOs are just because the fighter is only shelling up and not fighting back anymore. Even when the punches don't land that clean they'll stop it.

 

[Bradillac]

You don’t need to be out for it to be stopped for a TKO. He had his back completely turned to Lewis with both hands on the fence while being blasted by punches. That’s not intelligently defending yourself. You also shouldn’t be allowed to foul to avoid getting finished.

 

[Bradillac]

So he was so hurt he was shaky and punching the ref, yet had the wherewithal to not only get up but to cheat to get back to his feet?

Cheating is proof that he wasn’t all there and wasn’t intellectually defending himself.

Oh so if a fighter commits a foul they’re not all there? Well we need a lot more TKO stoppages then.

 

[Tweak896]

Lost?? He immediately realised the ref was in front of him and stopped fighting. He was as with it as you could possibly be following getting dropped in that moment. If he fought Herzog sure, but he didn't the second he turned around and realised it wasn't Lewis in front of him anymore.

His head was fuzzy for sure. I dunno just seen more of Lewis's opponents go out worse than that. If you're going to get KO'd at HW I'd rather end up like Tallison than someone like Blaydes vs Lewis.

The ref took tallisons undefeated 0 from him

 

[Doctor Grudge]

If you're not fighting back then it is grounds for a TKO. He wasn't fighting back. Climbing the cage isn't intelligent defense (it's not even legal).

 

[rjmbrd]

Please STFU. Look at his feet, look at his eyes.

These guys don't need to die for Venom coupons, you stop this fight every time.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Well Herzog did exactly nothing in another fight where a fighter grabbed the cage multiple times...

It’s crazy the backlash that would have been if it was any other fighter grabbing the fence. But for some reason O’Malley gets a pass…

 

[KungFuCow]

I thought it might be a tad early but I think the results would have been the same. If anything the ref saved Teixeira from some CTE.

Bad stoppage

 

[sdpdude9]

My final take after watching the sequence many times in slow motion

-Teixeira goes down, breaks his fall and eyes fixed on Lewis
-Immediately looks to turn to get up but Lewis jumps on him
-Underhooks the leg and escapes from under him
-Now belly down, builds back up to his base
-Scoots to the fence
-Works his way up albeit committing a foul in the process

So he never stops moving and improving position. Yes, he commits a foul so he may be assessed a penalty for a foul. However, that foul does not take away from the fact he does everything you want to see from a fighter trying to stay in the fight.

Would have looked better if it was called on the ground. Not when he got up, looked recovered and ready to fight.

 

[KO Shotz]

"He was conscious after he regained consciousness and stood back up after being knocked out"

At no point was Teixeira unconscious while improving his position & having the strength to pull himself up from the cage.

 

[KO Shotz]

Yes, but it was such an odd situation that does the point deduction warrant a possible tko or ko in favor of Tallison?

The point deduction would only factor if the fight went to decision.

If, in all the confusion, Tallison was deducted the point, which effectively would've allowed him ample time to recover, and he ended up stopping Lewis before the decision, what is the consequence for such an egregious foul? Winning?

Herzog stopping the fight was the call to make.

That's all hypothetical shit first of all, & also the penalty of a fence grab is having a point deducted. End of story.

 

[agibmxmma]

Yeah it's an awful stoppage. WTF are people talking about a fence grab warranting a stoppage? That's a whole other conversation/discipline that would warrant a point deduction or DQ. Sherdog get dumber everyday I swear.

+1

 

[Oldman1]

He cheated to stand up and prevent a further beating. Fight over at that point.
