lol mugsy! those new guys did really well considering that they only had so very few fights.I agree with your thoughts on the injuries and stuff that stopped some fighters from carrying on.In times of old fighters sucked it up and went to battle regardless.They have that as there badge of courage.I know fighters that broke toes,cracked kneecaps and fractured thumbs during fights and the other fighter never knew till after the fight.The BIG difference is that after the fight you cool off and then the adrenaline wears off and the pain caused by broken bones and torn cartlidges tends to make an impact.Split shins aint painful,but if the Doc sees it he can call the fight off,so you hide it.Chopper chapman is the bravest fighter i ever saw.When severely damaged in a semi finals clash,(that he won), he went into the final and he refused to quit,and he could barely stand in the dressing room!!He lost the fight but i was in awe of his courage.
The only thing that saved this show was that seven of the fighters had 10 fights or less.Expecting them to act like REAL professionals without the neccessary ringtime fight experience is asking for a miracle. The only reason the show was not a complete failure is because the level of the guys fighting were all similar.Except Andrew obviously.His level exposed the relative novices for what they are.INEXPERIENCED. I only wish we could have seen him fight ALEXANDER USTINOV.Now that would be worth watching.
