That felt like a classic case Carl’s observation of refs protecting women fighters more than men. Or maybe I just don’t like Dern.

hahahaha holy poo poo man you thought that should have kept going?!

With some refs, absolutely, they would have required some hammer fists to Dern just Brendan Schaubing on the ground.

To be clear, I didn’t think it should have kept going; I just think the refs do let men get even more hosed up than that.

Joe probably using up some points with Dana to name drop Ngannou as an example of a boxing baddest heavyweight on the planet.

for those of you who have seen more of pereira besides just this and the izzy fight, would you say a lot of his KO power comes from throwing that left hook at weird angle that doesn't get noticed?

I don’t think so. It’s like his kicks in that he can get a lot of structural rigidity behind the strike through the moment of impact. His timing is good, so sometimes the hook sneaks in unexpectedly, but the angle is pretty conventional.
