This stoppage was more questionable than the irvin VS alexander fight. alexander had no gaurd and his arms were stiff, he was KO’d. Alves was always going to win after he landed that knee, Parisyan was defending himself but wasnt going to last long.

Early stoppage on this one. Karo was never unconscious and didnt take more than maybe one substantial hit on the ground. Still Karo got pwned

Good stoppage , Karo will whine and complain but in the end if he really wasn’t “finished” then why the hell was he on all fours stiff as a board and not even attempting to avoid any punches or anything… what the hell is a ref suppose to do when he sees one guy who isn’t putting up any defense while the other is raining down huge bombs.

Good stoppage and Karo was simply caught with a solid knee, these things happen.

alexander stoppage wasperfect. alexander was out.. this.. well that knee lifted caro off the ground and Knocked him out.. he was coming back but its the refs job to stop teh fight when he sees the fighter out.. weither he get back while hes stopping the fight.. isnt the refs fault.. the fighter should have not got knocked out

DavidNo Gravatar Says, in 4-3-2008 at 01:56:43 from 99.232.168.208    

this is a really bad stoppage…
karo still had his hands up and partially blocking punches when the ref steps in.

weve seen karo recover from a big punch like in the serra fight, big john didnt stop marcus davis when he was getting pounded good by paul taylor, and he turned it around, i think steve mazzagati should take a note

XoukiNo Gravatar Says, in 4-3-2008 at 02:22:33 from 99.238.213.20    

good stoppage. the ref’s job is to stop the fight when the fighter can’t intellegently defend himself. sure he got blinded by the knee but he got hit by 3 more punches without defending. should the ref let it go for 2 more punches? thats a gamble cuz either’s he’s fine, or he’ll be severely injured. the ref’s job is to look out for the safety of the fighters. i hate mazzi too. he screwed brock, no warning and just took a point away allowing mir to stand and have a better position leading to a win. but this fight, he did his job

mygif_alt
JamesNo Gravatar Says, in 4-3-2008 at 02:36:03 from 24.24.202.126    

Total BS stoppage. Even Joe Lauzon took a worse beating and they let that go on forever. Karo was dazed but no way out, he was defending himself and was recovering. Houston was out cold. He looked exactly the way he did after the Silva fight. Alvez was just given a gift.

I personally hate Mazzagatti.. I seen a fight where he warned a fighter for talking.. like taunting his opponent.. are you kidding me.. but I dunno Karo looked dummied to me.. and dont forget just because hes up walking around and protesting doesnt mean he’s alright.. trust me I work in traumatic Brain Injuries.. and know a little bit about getting hit in the head.. I have to go with SMACK on this one.. plain and simple lol

Gotta agree with acosta and xouki…
Good job by the ref…
It was a hard knee and he wasn’t defending the punches…
If you don’t defend yourself then don’t complain…

StuartNo Gravatar Says, in 4-3-2008 at 09:58:03 from 82.70.72.209    

After watching the replays the ref got it right both times. Alexander was out, Paro could not come back from that position.

I think people look to blame the ref far too quickly these days.

whta is intelligently defending yourself? both hands up covering yourself from taking shots…….BS stoppage by mazzagati…these are getting old. I can see if a fighter goes limp then that is a split second call even if you recover shortly thereafter. I dont even like Karo but he was not finished

im sick how people make excuses all the time for the fighter they wanted to win.. plan and simple that knee drop carol and knocked him out.. ya he was coming back.. but still he was out.. and that whena ref stops the fight.. he was lucky to have alvin throw 3-4 more shots.. i mean did oyu see the way he dropped?

been knocked outNo Gravatar Says, in 4-3-2008 at 11:51:04 from 69.242.252.219    

To all those idiots who want the fight to continue stop watching professional wrestling. The ref. is their, in part, to protect the fighters. Losing balance without losing consciousness is referred to as being knocked down (”down but not out”). Repeated blows to the head are known to gradually cause permanent brain damage, with Alzheimer- or Parkinson’s-like symptoms, and in severe cases may cause strokes or paralysis. This is commonly known as becoming “punch-drunk”. Because of this, many physicians advise against sports involving knockouts. How many undefended blows should be allowed?

PooCocktailNo Gravatar Says, in 4-3-2008 at 12:02:46 from 76.176.218.255    

I agree with the stoppage. I do have to agree that I would liked to have seen Karo take a few more punches since he is such a dick.

If you look at 6:07, Karo has his arms out but he isn’t blocking. His arms are forward but he is getting hit on the left side of his head.

One thing is for sure, this will be another Karo story about how he was cheated out of a title shot. If Thiago could do this to him, imagine what GSP could do?

I wish this were Pride… I would have loved to see Parisyan get soccer-kicked and face stomped by Thiago.

Bullshit stoppage my ass…Caro spared himself blows to the face!

TA BABY!!!

XoukiNo Gravatar Says, in 4-3-2008 at 12:53:44 from 99.238.213.20    

it is a good fight. maybe most of you guys wanna see more of it. i sure do. but when you collapse like that, i think you’re out. rich franklin took worst knees by silva and still stood for a bit. he was out for a few seconds and got back. maybe the slowmo might convince you guys he was out. but i do wish the ref would give more time to see if the fighter are out or not. but that’s part of the sport i guess. same with basketball and hockey. turn of events is caused by the ref to make it more interesting. if mazzi was reffing arlovski sylvia 2. the pitbull would’ve won

Taylor FightmentoNo Gravatar Says, in 4-3-2008 at 13:25:16 from 134.186.104.254    

The best comment I have heard so far regarding the early stoppage: if you don’t want the fight to get stopped early… then don’t get dropped.

Early stoppages are the product of guys getting dropped. Both Houston and Karo crumpled. They didn’t get rocked on their feet, they didn’t get shaken, they got dropped plain and simple.

Houston was out, Karo was on his way out. Good Stop.

Their health is the most important thing. Continuous blows to the head when your already out is very dangerous and you can get permanant dammage! His pride is hurt but he will live to fight another day.

Karo got folded like laundry and he barely got his arm up when Alves started busting on his head. Another rare moment when I agree with Mazzagatti on the stoppage, Karo got his ass kicked.

Plus, like Xeron said: He’s FAT.

WTF Karo?

damn! Karo has been dining on too much of that Armenian cuisine…maybe if he wasn’t totally out of shape he wouldn’t have gotten demolished like that…another thing, he really needs to work on his defense when it comes to getting kneed in the face…first Sanchez sprays his teeth out of his mouth and now he gets dropped hard by the pit bull…sheesh back to the drawing board for the heat.

When a guys face hits the ground after a nasty knee to the side of the face and recieves a few extra blows after that, usually the ref would stop it…but we’re not talking about Karo here, he wasn’t hurt, he was taking those blows from Thiago easily…I’m being sarcastic, Karo was done and Thiago was all over him. What more did we want? Karo’s face mashed?..Steve made the right call..

I personally think Karo got ktfo, but I agree you should give them a chance to defend and recover. But we could always go back to the old rules, there are no rules, to see who is really the man. Let them pound each other until they puke blood and go into convulsions.

I am about tired of Mazzagatti. He was at the worst possible angle to see anything. He stopped the fight without getting a good look at Karo.

What a shame… a fighter like Karo should be given a bit more of a chance.

JakeNo Gravatar Says, in 4-3-2008 at 22:48:05 from 12.208.253.56    

tough to say..i think that he maybe should have let it go on for a little bit longer n see what happened. either way, i think thiago would have stopped him even if he let it continue.

We want Big John back!!!

Silva would have continued pummeling Karo if Steve didn’t step in and save his ass. He was finished. End of Story. Get a clue people.

I have an idea for all these fighters that like to bitch about stoppages. Don’t put the fight in the refs hand.

I bet Karo would rather be able to bitch about a stoppage than have his face caved in because the ref wanted to let a few more punches get in there just to make sure the guy was out like a lot of you idiots are saying

Steamer BeanNo Gravatar Says, in 4-4-2008 at 04:22:12 from 70.169.216.163    

I usually agree with the ref, and even supported him with the Alexander stoppage, but I’m gonna have to say bad call this time, not all those punches connected, he never wen’t limp, and he was defending. I’m well aware of the effects of too much punishment but at the same time this aint tag football my friends. He could have continued, though for how long is a big question in my mind. Either way I’ve always found Paresian to be a real cocksucker and poor sport so there ya go. Thanks to the TKO guys for all these posts, I love it.

I’m a huge Karo fan. But it was a good 100% legit stoppage. He was dropped, didn’t lift his arms and got clean punched 3 times without attempting any defense. Then he woke up, of course, but he was out for those seconds…
He got jabbed all the time too. I think my dream of him being a top contender is gone.

knee dropped him, he went limp, then went into fetal position and got hit 3-4 times. that is not intelligently defending yourself. sorry guys. he got pawned. grow up, do some MMA like myself and a few other guys here…then you can bitch about what is or isn’t. the refs are here to protect the fighters, not fuck them over. if that were to be the case, then i’m sure the ref would’ve lost his job by now had dana agreed as well.

If you know anything about MMA or how a knockout works, you’ll know that this stoppage was legit.

Karo was out, he would have just been knocked out completely and possibly given brain damage had Alves been allowed to continue raining down blows.

Holding your hand limply to the side of your face while on all fours dazed after collapsing like a ton of bricks doesn’t really do much to convince a ref that you’re still in it.

When I first saw Mazzaggatti was reffing this fight I was like “OH Shit! Something bad might happen again” (referring to the Brock Lesnar fight.) And GUESS WHAT!!! IT FUCKING DID

Anyways I hope this motivates Karo to finally start taking his training seriously.
