Why isn't anyone acknowledging the BS Tim Boetsch went though against C Phillipou

[Natman2939]

There's this old saying when it comes to newspapers that if they post a headline that is wrong, no matter how many retractions they post, there will be still be a ton of people who believe the wrong thing (because most people don't read the retraction)

It's been stated flat out that tim did not break his hand, it was in mma articles and in many threads in the board, and yet you're going to see people like the OP mention how he broke his hand for quite some time.

they just didn't get the memo

1. Eye poke
2. Broken Hand
3. Head butt, bloody face.

wtf? he got jobbed

throughtout all outlets, it just seems like everyones acknowledging like CP went through Tim like none of that shit happened. :\ and tim was owning him before breaking his hand. Yuck.

Tim Bo slice of humble pie i guess.

Cute

Costa was the better fighter that night.. perhaps the next match will turn out differently...

Funny tho how people discredit Costa because of an accidental eye poke claiming its why he won.. yet say GSP's striking is sub-par because Jake Shields out struck him..(with several eye pokes by the way)... SMH...

Tim will bounce back.. but people expect to much from him after the Okami comeback...

Exactly why has this never surfaced to despite so many people crying, complain, making threads, discrediting Costa, etc?

They cried and tried to blame him for tim broken hand and that was supposed to be why he lost but the only thing broken that we know of his his nose by Costa.

Look at this and the other threads. A head clash that's 50% each guys fault suddenly become some dirty illegal act by Costa. The phantom brokwen hand again is some dirty thing Costa did. Someone in this thread after it was revealed Tim's nose was broken says that it's from a headbutt...LOL. Yet everyone was saying the cut on his forehead that got blood in his eyes was from the headbutt. They are searching for any excuse they can no matter how irrational, nonsensical or hypocritical it makes them look.

I also saw that Tim didnt pay attention to the female ref at all, kept ignoring her warnings. Held onto the cage several times, grabbed Consta's shorts, etc. But I agree the eye-poke was bad - dont really agree that it wasn't intentional.

 

[kflo]

the eye poke and the headbutt really don't explain tim pulling guard repeatedly.

 

[MolesyMMA]

Why dont most people on here acknowledge that there it was a CLASH OF HEADS, they weren't head buts. The first one happened when Tim moved forward into Philippou, the second clash happened a second later after Tim landed a knee and you can't really blame either.

Tim didnt break his hand.

 

[PoisonGodMachin]

weird how he kept pulling guard, it's like he was begging phillippou to knock him out or something, fight definitely turned after the injury though, Boetsch's front kicks were looking sharp!

 

[Torrid]

He didn't break his hand.

But yeah, the illegal cut and eye poke really did affect that fight

 

[Matt Boy]

Didn't enjoy seeing this fight at all.. could tell he was struggling and hes one bad mf

 

[goldfc]

Doesn't change the fact that Costa is a monster.

 

[IrritatedTomcat]

Shit happens. Deal with it.

Owning him as in pressing him up against the fence doing jack shit? Yeah, fucking ownage right there. I'm so glad he broke his hand or whatever he did because that wall n stall shit is so fucking lame.

He did drop him to a knee with a front kick to the face

 

[cocky]

For god sake.

He DIDN'T break his hand.

Headbutts hurt both fighters.

Eye poke was accidental.

Sucks for Boetsch, but to brand Costa as a cheat is just ridiculous.

He didn't cheat, but he definitely had some help from illegal (even if accidental) actions.

Heard it was a pre-existing rib injury

 

[DesertStomper**]

Everyone thought he was " lucky " against Okami and " robbed " Lombard so they don't give a shit.

It was pretty BS though. Although, broken hand isn't really part of the jobbing. It's a fight, if you break your hand that's on you.

Heard it was a pre-existing rib injury

that would be what his corner was referring to between round 1 and 2?

Any source?
