I must have watched a different fight - as Simon clearly showed he was the better fighter, that was a perfectly legal, take down from the clinch......or am i wrong??? Schilling just came piling forward like a brawler, and Marcus stayed calm controlled and focussed, dumped him down, granted, the ref should maybe have given him an 8 count, but he jumped up and turned and faced to fight, then he was finished fair and square.
only thing awful about that was the commentary......."He hit his head on the canvas" "He hit His head onthe canvas" "He hit his head on the canvas" - yea we know we saw it you tit, didn't really seem to know what they were on about to be honest.
All in all I'd say thats Karma, he said he'd finish Si in the first round, and it went the other way - pretty clean cut end to the fight - I don't see a need for a rematch, as Marcus was clearly the better more technical scoring fighter anyway, even from just one round.
More to the point is the childish behaviour after the fight was stopped, pushing the ref etc - He lost fair and square - carrying on like a spoilt schoolkid ain't gonna change the fact that he got knocked the f#@k out........I don't know him or have anything against him but he kind of brought it all on himself.
What fight was that? - his 12th, 13th or 15th fight??? - should concentrate on learning to improve his style ( strong and fearless)with good Muay thai techniques properly, and correctly - oh and try being a little more humble - but then I suppose the paying public in the US love the showmanship more than the actual art of fighting itself.
Anyway Simon great win, took the jeering from the crowd in a decent way and got on with the Job.
Joe, unlucky, it's the way the sport goes, hope it makes you a better fighter and person, and you go on to more wins and success.
life goes on!!
