Yeah, he's not BSing about that. A few years ago he put that the promoter must pay Gary Goodridge $500 into his contract at least once, and nobody would have known if Goodridge didn't thank him in public.

While I consider Bob Sapp more of an entertainer than a fighter, he seems like a pretty cool dude.

Bob Sapp is kind of a cruel joke of a fighter, but probably not coincidentally that's better financial planning than 99% of fighters.

This is pretty cool. It was clear that the main outcome of this would be brain damage for the guy getting beaten up. It's amateur, they're not getting paid, and the real outcome isn't in doubt. A Good Fighter.

gently caress yes. Channel 4 is the equivalent of a major network channel in the US, albeit not the biggest. I don't understand why they're not showing live fights, which would be unique in the UK (proper channels) due to UFC/Bellator/WSOF timezone problems.

Cagewarriors was the most professional UK promotion for a long time despite being smaller than CageRage, and has played host to some greats fights in the past, including Dan Hardy vs. my BJJ instructor.

I disagree (And I say this as a hobbyist)

I don't feel the amateur athletes are at any risk of brain damage or even injury.

One one hand the video seems in favor of the guy in the white trunks.

However here are some other points:
1. We're only seeing a few limited clips of the video.
2. This stops in the first round, after 2 minutes.
3. The defending guy in black trunks does not appear to take any really heavy hits. Except maybe the hit at 21s in the youtube video. Even then, he does not stagger like he has been momentarily knocked out.

Now that isn't to say the guy in black trunks is without fault. He does do something dumb, twice, turning away exposing his back to his opponent. But this is an amateur event, dumb poo poo happens. He walks it off and gets back in there, and his opponent lets him do this.

Now if the guy in black trunks spent the whole time covering up and defending or walked away repeatedly, I could understand the guy in white just going 'gently caress it'.

I think the statement them getting seriously injured or going to the hospital in this specific instance, is overstated.

If the guy in white trunks wanted to end this 'gracefully' he should have just choked the guy out. Or just pecked away at him the second round with jabs and a simple combo and win by decision.

To me his actions end up with a bad taste for both of the athletes and his explanation does not make a whole lot of sense either.

Dude gets taken down into mount within like 20 seconds (he does sweep soon after). There have certainly been worse beatings that have been allowed to continue.

I dunno how it is in whatever state that is, but I'm pretty sure locally that amateur fights are stopped way quicker than any pro fight. Not that there was any turtle-ing or thing warranting a stoppage, but just saying that judging them on the same scale as a pro fight is a total misnomer.

(I think. I might be totally loving wrong)
