Mmm funny how people see differently It was indeed boring, but at the same time it was brutal watching gsp jab that puffed eye over and over You have ignored this user.

Many fights have been stopped after an eye closes

If it was completely closed the Dr. would have stopped it. Kos said he could see and the Dr. did not see a fully closed eye.

You're saying that the Dr. should have some how been able to X-ray Koscheck's eye socket area in the cage??? You have ignored this user.

Slapsymaxi 15 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 5167	NotImpressedByYourScreenName - His eye was as bad as Fedor's against Bigfoot so could easily have been stopped IMO. But it was a title fight so I think thru give the fighter every chance I'm guessing that dropping bombs while sitting on Fedor's chest made the Dr more skittish than GSP jabbing away...

No I am saying you have to be an idiot to let a guy continue to fight when his eye is swollen to the point you can't see any part of his eyeball regardless of what the fighter wants. The doc is there for safety nothing else. Letting that fight go was unsafe. Phone Post

Took GSP down end of the first round, didn't try again till the fifth You have ignored this user.
