This isn't intelligent defense nor was it that brief. It went on for several seconds and the reason that people are complaining is most likely a combination of being sore at Dan Miragliotta for being a bad ref at EXC CBS and Vera's complaining afterwards influencing viewer perception.

Karo did the same thing and it was blatantly obvious upon rewatching that that it looks more legit after each view and that his complaining was influencing fan perception.

If he would have called the Kimbo fight the same fucking way we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Maybe a "thumbs up" would have allowed the fight to continue!!

I agree Dan has had a horrible month, but there is a huge gray area around this intelligently defending yourself rule. They need to either redefine this rule or eliminate it all together.

Vera is right on about this ref. Miragliotta stopped this fight way too soon, and he did the same thing in the Kimbo/Thompson fight. They also need to test Miragliotta for steroids.

Vera took 26 or so blows without him doing shit. Some scored and some didnt,but damn man u have to do something to improve your position. You guys are forgetting this isnt Pride and as much as I hate to say it 8/ most of the stoppages and rules are based for the American market.
