Hunt vs TK was excellent

That was a great fight. TK is a warrior. Hunt is very very good and TK was outstriking him for much of the fight. I haven't seen anyone else give Hunt a run for his money punching in MMA and TK did just that. I respected TK but I respect him even more now. I hope he doesn't retire because that was perhaps the fight of the night. Props to Hunt for the win and to Tsuyoshi for the Bushido spirit.

Every exchange I couldn't believe TK would either get the better of it, or if Hunt connected hard, he would go into the pocket again immediately, more determined. TK truly left it all in the ring, I take my hat off to him. If Cro Cop showed half of that heart in his fight against Hunt, he would have won easily.

I really thought TK was going to DIE at one point!! CC should've done exactly what TK did, push the fight and be the aggressor. I couldn't believe Hunt was backing up almost the whole entire fight. And he fought with a badly broken CROOKED nose in the second...

I love Hunt but he has the unfair advantage that he doesnt actually need to worry about getting hit in the head/lump of granite.

This fight, was IMO, perhaps the greatest fight I've ever seen.

I cant think of anything that compares.

Hunt is a very sloppy striker. He has a good chin and that saves him but as far as his striking goes I'm not impressed. Stoppage was kind of weird too.

What was weird about it? TK was on his knees in the corner wondering what planet he was on after taking about 100 shots to the dome. You think it should have been allowed to continue?????

Hunt has never had a killer instinct and it showed hard in this fight. He could have pounded TK to a stoppage twice but was too goddamn lazy to throw enough punches to stop him once TK fell.

Tons of heart by TK and great fight!

I never thought that TK has such a good chin. He took some huge shoots.
Hunt disappointed me in the perspective of his standup, he looked a uncoordinated in the first round. But he defended excellent against the submission atempts.
