Came for the fight, stayed for the commentary. That was amazing. 😂

[@ausgepicht]

Santos was upset and saying they weren't hurting, but the ref can't guess. Any fighter who takes 15 unanswered shots isn't properly defending himself.

[@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi]

That was more than 20 unanswered shots, maybe even 30.

[@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi]

I just counted, it was 41 unanswered shots landed. No way the ref should've let that continue as nothing was changing except Santos' consciousness.

[@TheCommonS3Nse]

Lol, I see people complaining here about an early stoppage. You have to be intelligently defending yourself. Head butting someone’s fist 40 times in a row is not “intelligently defending” 😂

Duze ryzyko duza wygrana a Polscy zawodnicy najczesciej nie moga sobie pozwolic na finansowe ryzyko i finnsowanie wylotow do usa.
