Cut was clearly caused by a punch. Mattice was taking over and was very unlucky.
Doctor took about 3 seconds to wave off the fight. Barely even inspected the cut.
Agreed, bad luck for Mattice.
Mattice should’ve been awarded a TKO victory. Definitely a hometown highway robbery! There should be a rematch in Cleveland.
Seems like the suits were not happy that Mattice was going to win this fight. Ridiculous & criminal.
I gotta see the fight
He should never have taken that fight in Mexico. He would have had to knock his man out to get a draw.
Hernandez was getting drilled as the fight progressed. The cut in question was clearly caused by a punch. They need to run this back!
Mattice cut Hernandez with a right uppercut with 45 seconds to go in round 6. Hernandez started dabbing at his left eye right after that shot. I can see why Mattice was upset. They need to run this back.
If Rocky was losing up to the point were the doctor checked him it would have continued but being the house fighter and the fight slipping away they used the let’s stop this now card, I’ve seen Rocky fight thru more than that on many occasions
