They gave him some time to rest and it appeared his vision wasn't improving, so they stopped the fight. The doctor is very specific about what Scott told her. There isn't a big dispute unless Smith comes out and says the NJAC is full of BS. Everyone has a different vantage point, but the story from the officials is pretty consistent.

Yet another new story beyond the doctor and Nick Lembo's. Amazing how there are such differing recounts from the officials involved but they all agree that he didn't deserve the last two minutes! Regarding Young, perhaps you missed her yelling NO at the doctor. Or perhaps you'd take her more seriously if she had gotten on the mic and bitched about it? She said later that she thought it was stopped mainly because they didn't want a girl looking too beat up on their broadcast (also why she thinks she wasn't invited to the post-press meeting) @#35 Ooh, where did you hear that about Dan M?

At that point, the officials decided it was over since he couldn't recover in the alloted 5 min. If you believe this, I can't fault the doctors or the ref. As for Young, I was thinking that they needed to end that fight because she was taking such a beating. I was not surprised when they stopped the fight. I don't recall Young getting all worked up about. I think she knew she was beat at that point. All this talk about whether she thanked them or not is irrelvant.

Like the phantom conversation about Smith saying he absoloutely could not see. If he said that then why was he saying "No No No" when they started to stop it. I would ask Smith the same question if he now says something to the contrary. Watch the tape. The ref has a mic. Of course we are going to ignore their explanations when their explanations are crap.

Are fans going to simply ignore the explanations of Dr. Sherry Wulkan and referee Dan Miragliotta? Get over it already. It’s amazing how many people:

It was extremely shady. I don't think the commission was working for CBS or EliteXC or anything but I do think CBS officials touched base with the commission and basically told them to be more cautious than usual. It's pretty clear they stopped the fights as soon as they got ugly. If Scott Smith said he couldn't see, why was he so upset and saying "No!" as they waved it off. Watch the fight, you can clearly see him say he is ok. It even looks like they are starting again. Next thing you know they are stopping it Smith says "No!" and starts pleading with them not to stop it. Could this have anything to do with the show running long? I hope not but it just seems so damn crazy. Eye pokes happen all the time, they give the fighter his time then start again. This was a damn 5 round championship fight. The show was slotted for two hours and even with no fights going the distance they came in at almost 3. They really need to do a better job with the pacing. Oh, and the exact same thing happened Sunday night during the Faber vs Pulver fight. That one didn't get stopped......... #14
