There was nothing questionable about the Lawler/Koscheck stoppage

[tenniswhiz]

Herb didn't referee Barry vs Kongo. That was Dan "king of letting fights go on too fucking long" Miragliotta.

That's an interesting case. I would not have complained if Miragliotta had stopped it in favor of Barry.

Koscheck stood up within a split second. That makes it questionable. This is MMA, anything can happen while you're being punched in the face.

He's not bettering his position, he's not attempting to defend himself. Clear TKO.

Kos was so fucking out are you kidding me? Anyone who thinks otherwise is a just bleed idiot.

Funny how you're the only one that could tell his eyes were glassy.

Not the only one, I saw that as well. Herb also saw it because he stepped in right at that moment.

Isn't it funny that in All the multiple gifs of tho tko not one, not freakin one show Los instantly stand back up and complain about it.

Not one...

WTF does how he acts AFTER the fight is stopped have anything to do with it? Do you honestly expect refs to see the future? LOL

Really?

So when you watch this, you're thinking; that guy is doing fine?

Doing fine might not have been the best way to describe it and Obviously things weren't going his way. There have been fights that went on longer than that with the other guy being in more trouble than Josh was in and coming back to win the fight. A couple more shots he might have been TKO/KO but then again maby not.

1. Lawler connected.
2. koscheck stopped defending
3. if herb didn't stop the fight, lawler would have killed him

are you sure this hasnt been discussed before?

if we all start new threads to voice our individual opinions each time, we will never be able to find the actual content in the forums.

learn to use the search forum feature. it is so easy to use, even a total moron could figure it out. good luck to you!

Totally agree with TS. Ref could've let Kos get hit a couple more times to seal it, but in no way did I see it as early when it happened.
And funny how Rogan called this early when he adamantly expressed how justified the Kos/ Thiago stoppage was. That shit was way early IMO.
