Guy gets hit with a weak illegal upkick and pretends to be knocked out and gets the win by DQ? Wtf that better be overturned. What a complete muppet that guy is I hope CageWarriors never let him fight again.

That was crap, sorta known Azi for years, he's from the same North Wales town as me, dad is Mickey Thomas the ex- Utd, Chelsea, Wrexham legend.

No way was he knocked out, was def faking it, the way he fell was just wrong.

He looked at the ref then just played dead. It was embarrassing and Marc Goddard fell for it hook line and sinker. Fair play to Azi Thomas for keeping his cool. The bloody cheek of Saeed to say he wants a rematch and how hard he worked for this fight.

I think it'll all come out when it's replayed a lot

To be fair he was hit on the temple pretty hard. Looked genuine to me. A bit odd all the same

Come off it! Still managed to say it to the ref that he was upkicked then magically KO'd to the floor. Genuine it was not.

Ah ye but how many times have you seen a lad get hit, wobble then go down and out. This guy got a genuine belt to the temple was on the way down and out.

Fair point some people wobble but they don't make a plea to the ref that they just got upkicked

Lets say a guy standing sometimes has 2 seconds before he's goes out. In that 2 seconds he wobbles and goes down then out....often a few follow up punches will make sure of it.
Now a guy basically on his knees gets a blow to the temple. He has 2 seconds before he goes out. Makes a plea to the ref then it all fades to black. It does look orcastrated to be fair but what self respectin pro would pull such a stunt

Sometimes there's a delay between the strike and him going down. But the difference is, the guy is "out on his feet" for that time. Unsteady, all over the place, and then can't hold themselves up any longer. They hit the ground unable to stand, they aren't ever out cold at this point. They often try to continue but they're not able.

He gets hit, he calls out to the ref 2 or 3 times, then out out complete cold - asleep. I can't think of a single time somebody went out like that. It's either go lights out straight away, or your legs and balance give out after a delay.

A knock out blow isn't like a traq dart. You don't fade to black, as you try call to the ref.
