great fight. tavares tapped! c.b. dalloway style. at least kurt got the victory and both got fight of the night bonuses (well desereved).

Yeah, there’d be a huge shit-storm if Tavares somehow won after that. Yves saw the tap for sure and was on his way in to stop it, but once Tavares slipped out he backed off. Too bad for CB that Yves Lavigne wasn’t the ref for his fight.

nvm. i found it. pretty good fight. Next time kurt better not let go till the ref pulls him off.

Actually he said after the fight that he didn’t even know that Tavares tapped. He heard something pop but then he was able to slip his arm out.

what did your eyes tell you.

I think it’s funny how Tavares was undefeated 15-0 and then he goes on to lose 3 of his next 4 fights.

i was thinking the same thing. now that hes in the grind of the upper eschelon lw fighters all his fights are difficult. but hes young and these woodshed type fights are only going to help him

i was there. he did tap it was really obvious especially on the big screen. im glad he won anyway though it was a hell of a fight

how long was chuck really down? I just figured if you were there you would have a more realistic answer than Youtube. thanks.

by BLOodyMEss on Sep 7, 2008 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

it looked like at least a full minute before they kicked

him back in gear. but i aswell would like to know exactly

how long. with the docs they gots? 20 seconds is a long time.

but around a min of being unconcious? wow. chuck got hit hard

and landed even hardeder.

2 minutes later Rogan or Goldberg said he was still out. 30 seconds after that one of them said he was sitting on the stool.
