And have you seen this before, where fighters that are used to fighting five rounds? They constantly just think that you have one more round. I've got another round. Like they can do it all night. They can fight all night. And so they just continue to think like I've got one more round. Like I can let this one go...Very similar in this situation where he was just on one knee on the first round, he was just in crucifix position, and couldn't get out... And no sense of urgency to stand up." [2:30]
