ScottishSkirtWearersTopTeam -  Tim broke his hand, caught an accidental head-but and took an accidental eye poke.

Costa isn't a dirty fighter, Tim just got unlucky.

Tim couldn't punch properly, couldn't see right and had blood pouring down his face. Tim might have still been aware and conscious, but Costa got the TKO because Tim couldn't fight any more, personally I agreed with the stoppage. If the fight wasn't stopped Tim would have just got beaten up even more, he couldn't continue.

He was very unlucky. Tim is tough as nails and pretty much everything that could have went wrong for him went wrong. He'll be back. Phone Post

Great post.

He was not the same after the eye poke. He's a bleeder anyways, so I don't know if the blood was the biggest factor. I was thinking exuastion. The broke hand? That'll do it.

Well he was on a good run before he lost this one and he lost to a good fighter

Perhaps a tad premature but he was getting beat down leading up to that too.

Also, he was pulling guard as a last option, he couldnt see well to gage the distance for his shoots.

He got raked so hard in the eye, didn't look accidental to me. Fight was over right then.

"Tim Boetsch: Suspended 180 days unless cleared by physician (nasal fracture). Minimum suspension 45 days (30 days no contact"


It was his nose, now I get it.

Something definitely was wrong with his hand. You could tell, he couldn't punch with it, he was constantly shaking it out and glancing at it. I was surprised that it never showed up on the suspension list to be honest... Phone Post

well i'm really surprised to not see anything about tim's hand in the medical report...

tim was getting beat up way more by okami and still came out beast mode in the 3rd to finish him off. such a contrast in fights, i still think something had to be up here.

It's almost as if his hand wasn't broken. I was thoroughly convinced thanks to hogan. Phone Post

i'm really starting to wonder about the sourcery that joe puts on the viewers once he gets something in his head. i was completely convinced that his hand was shattered into a thousand pieces.

He got headbutted and poked in the eye. Taking the DQ win would have been the smart play. The Las Vegas commission doctors are perfectly willing to see fighters maimed or killed in the cage. They simply refuse to do their job, which is to protect the fighters.

takedowns is one thing, pulling half-guard is another.  is Boetsch the Michael Jordan of BJJ or something ?

if didn't want to punch with an injured hand, he could've used standup elbows.  I remember a few fights, thinking elbows standing and on the ground would've helped...

He couldn't see well enough to shoot. I think he was pulling guard to try and survive till the endofthe round. Has he made a statement yet about what was actually wrong with him? Phone Post

Yes, he stated between rounds to the doctor that he couldn't see out of his injured eye.

God knows why they allowed the fight to continue, but continue it did, just like it always does.
