Its when i see an elbow thrown by someone standing up, that was clearly not meant to knock someone down or out, and was only meant as a means to cause blood-flow, that I get really pissed. Especially when they are thrown by a certain cocky, gangly, fighter that I cannot stand. I guess thats the point I was making. And you are right...I certainly was talking out of my ass.

I share your (and everyone else's frustration) at fights that end due to cuts but these tend to happen by knees or punches more than elbows. I also share your distaste for the shit Ken gets on these boards. Though a shadow of his former self and the game has blown passed him, he helped build the house every modern fighter trains in and he should be respected as such.
