Smith fight had about 5 opportunities to be stopped. The first was at 3:50 on the clock in the 3rd round. Smith gassed at the end of the 2nd round, then came out and got dominated from the start in the 3rd. He just didn't have anything left. But Glover could have also hastened it. He stopped punching time after time after time. Just a soft flurry would have ended it if he kept going, because Smith didn't have any left to put up a defense. Smith was tough. Extremely tough. But the ref and his corner really screwed up, multiple times.
I think Dominick Cruz being pissed about his fight being stopped early made it early for Jason Hertzog the ref. Anthony might need to find a new camp. Ones that care for his best interest at heart. Fighters need to be saved from themselves.
@Joseph Boza Megan Anderson trains at the same place. I'm curious what she has to say. Regardless, that was a bad look for his corner. Chael went off right after the fight.
Kudos to the UFC for being able to put on two live events within 96hrs. And piss on the media types out there being hyper critical about the UFC. Of all the things that could be legitimately criticized, getting back to delivering live events is not one of them.
Claudia gadelha vs Hill who wins?
KB& Allen why did the coner let Smith Take Such a terrible beating. Probably took years of his life…
1 camera, 1 Karyn, 1 Claudia, 1 Angela Hill, 1 Room, 1 Lubes – thats a big multicultural SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
