But once they're like, "Actually, it was pretty close, but they're legal knees" he's obviously going to lie and say he's fine when he isn't.
Sure, be mad about him 'playing the game' with his hands down, but people are pretending he wasn't legit rocked.
To be clear I think he was hurt, the doctors were likely correct, and the error leading to the fight stoppage was actually fortunate for his health if not his record.
My issue is the narrative that he was robbed by not be allowed to continue with all of the advantages he gained already from that mistake. It's like people are saying if he was able to gain the advantage of every single error he may have won therefore he has bad luck, and this after he already made several decisions personally to try to use rules to gain advantage rather than fighting better than his opponent. Live by the sword and die by it imo. He, and his fans, don't have a lot of room to ***** about "fairness".
