i don’t think he was unconcious at all. I think he was just resting his eyes.

well,
first and he was taking unanswered shots to the face..
then,
his arms went limp and hit the canvas, and he continued to take unanswered blows to the face..

i’ve seen many early stoppages..
and i hate them when they happen..

but Manny was completely unconcious when the fight was stopped..

If by early Manny means that he was still breathing then sure, I’ll agree.

Dude got schooled by Torres.

Miguel is in a whole different league.

Well then, I wish they would have let it continue so he did get knocked completely out. Torres jumped to Tapia’s left side and began the hammers. I didn’t see Tapia move his right hand up to block the side control move or the hammers. If you don’t protect yourself you are gonna have the match stopped. Fighter safety first. That and Tapia was out fought in every aspect.

i actually remember seeing him complaining to the ref immediately following the stoppage. i could clearly see he never got knocked out, but the stoppage was 100% just.

The stoppage was just. Manny was losing his footing the whole time he was gettting rocked. Most folk’s would too. I guess he feel’s the need to pipe up a bit but it is unwarranted. Miguel would’ve pounded an even bigger gash had the fight been allowed to continue. Torres fought extremley smart last night, very impressive.

Get well, Manny. You better get back on that horse when you’re healed and train even harder next time. Cheers!

I lost respect for this guy now, he got beat, bad, torres worked his ass with the jab all night, rocked him twice, dropped him and pounded him out, he was done, cut, bloody and beaten, he should shut up, you got beat, shut up. I hate when fighters cry like bitches, I didnt lose, they just stopped it.

Losing gracefully is as important as winning graciously.

It did kind of make me sick-seeing his comments, but like a previous post said, he probably still had a bunch of adrenaline in his system, and the beating he took didn’t help anything either.

remember he was undefeated, so this loss probably hurts real bad, and at that moment, he did not want to accept it.

give him a pass for the time being. If he still complains months down the road..then let the tomatos fly.

yours,

benji
