Do you know who Silva has knocked out with 1 hit? Did you see how many hits it took from Silva to actually knock him out?

Look Leben is a can but he still has a chin of granite. I don't care how hard your chin is though if you keep letting yourself get hit on a button by the best striker in the world at your weight class you're going to be KTFO.

Leben learned a valuable lesson ... you can live on a solid chin alone cuz sooner or later someone will come along who can crack that granite.

He never seemed to go out cold. He just kept getting dazed. He went out for a couple seconds, then like a drunkard staggers back up. Even after the KO he just staggered back to his feet again. He took some shots square in the sweet spot and just was seeing stars. Tried to grab on to things, kept getting hit.

Silva backed away the first time he went down figuring it was over(should have been), but the damn ref didn't stop it like he should have. If he would have it wouldn't have been as horrible, but because the ref let him stagger around like a drunk unable to recover just taking more shots, it looked pathetic and humiliating.

Silva is a world class striker and has knocked out some seriously good fighters. Leben took a few and was scrambling after. Without his chin that fight doesn't last 50 seconds it last 15.

How many fighters would have got up after getting ko'd once. So for all of you who say Leben has no heart your a joke. You talk about Ken Flo and Swick as fighters, Leben was manhandling Ken Flo before a lucky elbow. Leben will be back

No one is immune to getting KO'd by someone as skilled as Silva. I thought the fight was over when Leben was first knocked down, so his has heart. Silva just overwhelmed him.

Yep, you nailed it Jake.

Silva knows his hits. That shot that droped Leben should have left him out cold for a long time. It was right on the damn button FULL force. But Leben got up. The fact he tried to trade again after wards is probably because his ass was still severely stunned. Hell after getting KO'd the second time he still popped right back up.

He's durable ... but you can't win on durability alone.
