THAT STUPID DOCTOR!
Stupid ass call, that bitch didn’t even give Smith the 5 minutes.
That was a classic fight in the making for sure. I’m soo choked! I can’t believe she stopped it.
this would have been fight of the night if it didn’t end like that
ref shouldn’t such amazing fights so fast… especially a 5 rounder
“ref should *stop”
fuckin wank doctor. that fight was great.
Suck’s it had to end that way, both of those guy’s are tough as nail’s, they fought one hell of a fight, and I still heard lot’s of boo’ing from the crowd, some people just don’t have a clue!!!
Shame it had to end that way. Two warriors.
Stupid doctor, indeed. Of course when you get poked in the eye you’re not going to be able to see clearly for a minute or two. Fired.
What is with the fans in the US? not even 30 seconds into the fight and they’re booing the fighters…plebians of such nature shouldnt be allowed to attend mma events as quite clearly they have no clue!
Shame the fight ended the way it did, Kudos to both fighters, had it gone all the way i would have backed Lawler.
Should have given Smith the 5 min to get his senses back… looked like this might have been the one that saved face for Elite XC after the Kimbo fight…
this is what i was afraid of, something so pure gets dirty ass money involved and bullshit and idiots screw it up for the real fans. almost every fight had early stoppage, the camera angels were crap, and the best fight got stopped by a doctor who doesn’t understand the sport. Anything new jersey touches is garbage anyway. 1st round these guys are showing each other respect and feeling each other out and they get booed, trash jersey retards should stick to wwe. these guys put on a show that i felt robbed of as i’m sure they did. it was hands down fight of the night. then the announcer and i don’t mean frank said the crowd is use to exciting boxing matches, what the hell is he talking about 80’s tyson fights? He was clearly smoking crack. ignorance sucks
guys train 6-8 weeks leading up to fights…they train hours, hours, sweating, running, kicking, punching, puking…blood sweat tears…
to have this fight end like this…..
jonno – you obviously aren’t paying attention. the fans didnt boo the fighters..on the contrary, they boo’d the doctor stoppage of a great fight with two great fighters…
if i were an up and comming fighter or fighter in another league like the UFC, Dream, Affliction or the like, i’d never have my name associated with eliteXC
I agree that those fans were stupid for booing, the fighters were feeling each other out. This fight had plenty action and Smith was robbed. I don’t know if he would’ve won, but he should’ve been able to continue, he seemed fine. I want to know what would have happened had it not been stopped like that.
He deserves a rematch.
Elite(hardly)XC really blew it!
LMAO puttin Lawler up there with Silva??? nick diaz beat em for god sakes… Franklin would destroy lawler… wow man.. theres ALOT of ppl in the middleweight division as a whole that are better than lawler.. hes good dont get me wrong.. but top 3 on the world??? COME ON
finger stabbing is real bad . Lawler did it, intentionally or not, he should have his license suspended.
This is why I’ll move out of the NYC area before I ever even think about moving to NJ. Bunch of guidos and skanks.
“Jonno – you obviously aren’t paying attention. the fans didnt boo the fighters..on the contrary, they boo’d the doctor stoppage of a great fight with two great fighters…”
TABASCO
Really? and who do you think they were booing in rounds 1 & 2, the ring girls?
Allow me to draw your attention to the first 30 or so seconds into the fight where the fighters were feeling each other out.
Perhaps it might also do you some good reading some of the comments your fellow co-posters have made who also mention the non-appreciative fans!
jersey sucks. Average American fans are new at this so they don’t understand how a real fight between 2 guys that have the skills to destroy one another starts. Keep in mind that we haven’t had a combat sport in this country since lennox lewis was boxing. And even then it was lame. There are many American fans out there who knew what was going on (feeling out, Gina’s gogoplata) and also knew enough to not waste our time going over the bridge into that godforsaken hellhole to watch this mockery. Some of the fights were good, the ladies being the best imo. Plus it was KIMBO SLICE’S coming out party FFS. Who did you think was going to buy tickets? Intelligent, well schooled, MMA fans? Or Internet Idiots?
Very disappointing… Scott Smith got robbed, anything still could of happened at that point in the fight. The Dr. was horrible…I don’t think she realizes how hard they train to get to where there at.
Jonno – I take it back. I should be the one paying more attention. I thought you commented on the fans booing the decision/doctor stoppage, not the consistent boo’s during the beginning of the fight.
I agree that the boo’ing is uncalled for, especially feeling out stages of a fight. I don’t agree that this is just relegated to fights in the US. I’ve watched MMA bouts live in the states and in Canada. I’ve watched countless Pride fights in Japan and Vale Tudo in Brazil…and fans don’t just boo in the U.S. when there isn’t action.
I blame EliteXC rather than true MMA fans in the US. I think the people attending this attraction weren’t MMA fans at all..just there to watch the Kimbo hype. Personally, I’d rather watch a strategic ADCC match than a flashy KO.
I agree my comment was a broad generalisation of the fans in the US, and would therefore like to retract it…as you quite rightly point out that booing fans aren’t confined to the US.
Here in England we also have our fair share of idiots attending MMA events! However, this isnt helped by having a ring announcer dressed in a pimps uniform (Cage Rage).
that was a gay ass stoppage. Smith was choked. that guy went through wars in his career I mean what a crock of shit man…. Smith looked like a contender in that fight. Lawler was choked too he even admitted to poking the eye right away …… i dunno what to say here… they’re both class acts. Doctor needs to go back to school yo
I don’t think any of us are qualified to make the doctor’s decision for her. She must of seen something and stopped the fight as a result of it. It’s not often it happens, so quit whining some of you.

It’s not about being qualified… It was said after the fight that the Dr. stopped because Scott said he couldn’t see, not in the sense that he couldn’t continue the fight… but in the sense that he needed his 5 minutes to recover. As I’m sure most everyone on here has been poked in the eye a time or two, you would be well aware that your eyes tear up and will burn/sting for a few minutes. The Dr. misunderstood him and stopped the fight. The only time I could imagine a fight being stopped due getting poked in the eye, is if the eye was bleeding or had a significant amout of damage.
how do you call yourself dogpitt and say a nerd ass comment like “i don’t think any of us are qualified….” you saw the fight and the fighter, are you that naive? even the girl fight you don’t stop a fight for mere swelling and a small cut under the eye. it was not swollen shut. have you seen any arturo gatti fights? he was a piece of hamburger in a shit load of his wins. don’t make excuses for weakness it makes you weak.
