Mickey Bey could have taken a knee 6 time and still come out as the winner

[SplitSecond]

his legs were likely so stiff if he dropped he wouldn't have been able to get up

Did anyone see Ellerbe's reaction when Bey got KTFO? Lol prize less

yep.. bey showed how inexperienced he is having no survival skills whatsoever, dude reminded me of khan lame excuses and everything.

that would be some funny **** if a fighter way ahead on the cards but completely spent with about a minute to go, just takes six consecutive knees haha like a quarterback taking a knee to take time off the clock.

I'd like to see it happen too. Martinez could have taken a knee 8 times against Chavez and he still would have won. There was only 75 seconds left so he could have spent the entire time on his knee and out of danger until the bell. It would have been hilarious.

That being said if he took six knees as you would advise the referee would call off the fight as he'd judge him incapable of continuing.

The ref stopping the fight for taking multiple knees would be bull****. I'd understand if the fighter was way behind on the scorecards and had no chance of winning. But if the fighter is way ahead, the ref should be smart enough to know what the fighter is doing.

He was out on his feet, he couldn't think clearly.

When people don't take knees, people always blame inexperience. I don't ever even see experience fighters do it though. It seems like something that should be drilled into a fighters head in the gym. It should be standard boxing 101. I think Khan against Garcia should have given it a try for example.

i dont...that would make it cheesy...guy taking knees because he's already ahead? i dont wanna watch that ****


a fighter going after the kill when its front of him is one of the, if not the most exciting part of boxing

[richardt]

I doubt he had enough of his senses to take a knee....he may have been to hurt to make a critical thought out decision like that. Hard to say.

That's a whole minute of recovery time. Being ahead on the scorecards, why the **** don't trainers yell at their fighters to do this?

EDIT: My math is wrong. Forgot to count the last round. He could taken a knee 4 times.

Trainers do tell them that. But when you're in a fight, sometimes you get hit so hard that the mind does not think about that stuff. The body just responds to the harm. Sometimes guys are so out of it that they even take more punishment than they should. Pride can sometimes be a factor too. Probably the biggest factor.

Because he was already out.
