KO'ed Fighter gets choked out by ref when he keeps attacking

jimnms says...

Do you think this is normal in this sport? You're absurd analogies have nothing in common here. They don't pose a threat to anyone, but a trained fighter can still be a threat even when they are knocked silly. Do you think the ref should just sit there and get beat up?

I have seen a few times where a KO'd fighter gets up and tries to keep fighting thinking the ref is the opponent, but I've never seen a ref choke out the fighter before though. Refs are trained to handle these situations, and usually defend themselves from the fighter until they come to their senses or the corner team get there. Choking the fighter out may have been a bit extreme, but he stopped the fighter without causing harm the fighter.

Conor McGregor shows you the true definition of irony

jimnms says...

There's nothing sane about boxing. Strapping giant gloves to your hands and punching each other in the head doesn't sound reasonably sane to me.

There's a misconception that gloves make fights safer. The purpose of gloves is to allow a fighter to punch harder without breaking their hands. MMA originally didn't use gloves, but to get athletic certification in most states they had to give in and use gloves.

Getting knocked silly, pausing the fight and giving a fighter 10 seconds to recover so they can get punched in the head more is far worse and more dangerous to a fighter's health than letting the fight continue to a KO, although in MMA, the ref should stop the fight when a fighter is not capable of defending themself.

I mean there is a lot of trash talking in boxing too, but boxing can be a reasonably sane competition, this MMA stuff is just imposibly stupid.

Archery: Will it EVER be the same again? Wow.

I was thinking the same thing, but he addresses that in the video. The defining feature of a crossbow is that the bowstring is mechanically held in tension. With this device, if the wielder relaxes his arm the string goes slack.

Having said that, it's similar to a chu-ko-nu (repeating "crossbow" that doesn't hold the string in tension) but more accurate because the moving parts move linearly.

Weirdly shaped crossbows are still crossbows.

Why Thailand is Better Than Your Country

Well i was in Thailand about 25 years ago and absolutely loved it. Spent a week in Bangkok and one in Chiang Mai (water festival), but my favorite time spent was the two to three weeks in Ko Pha-ngan and Ko Tao Islands. Absolutely lovely <3

All 50 of Mike Tyson's Knockouts

newtboy says...

As if his freight train of a fist wasn't devastating enough, it looked like he connected with his forearm and elbows often.

Always in beast mode...except that first fight out of prison. Where was the Buster Douglas fight? That was technically also a Tyson KO.
