Standing 8 Count?
When Tito Won via ref stoppage of Shamrock, Shamrock jumped to his feet saying he was ready to fight. (He did the same againt Sakuraba) Why dont they add a standing 8 count, as in boxing. When a ref stops a fight to protect the fighter, and the fighter then seems unhurt, its hard to say if the stoppage was correct. So why not add the standing 8 count, (loose a point to the victim) then let the fight resume, It will be an added bonus to the fans, who often pay large dollars to watch.
(ive seen way to many flash knockouts stopped< plus if the guy winning really hurt him he should be able to repeat the knockout)
Any Ideas on this?
