Total ***** move.

Kauffman got punked live on TV by a smarter and savvier fighter.

Saying he tripped over the referee as he tried to rise is so blatantly false that it compromises the integrity of everything else in the article.

Kauffman did not trip, he fell over on his back and was out of it that had it been ruled a throwdown Kauffman still would not have been able to rise and continue and it would have to be ruled a TKO much like Brewster-Klitschko where Klitschko was waved off without a blow landing merely because he could not physically continue.

Yea i have to agree with that, this is totally just a sore loser who cant accept he was stopped by a guy he was on the verge of knocking out.

just watched round 4 on youtube. although grano was definately a little dirty, that doesnt change the fact that kauffman was DONE when he was on the ground. No trip, he just couldnt get up. i wouldnt mind seeing a rematch because itll be exciting, but the ruling definetely shouldnt be overturned.

He lost the ****ing fight, get over it and move on and stop bitching. He should be lucky he's not locked up sleeping with 12 year old girls and everything.

leave it to gary shaw to always claim the ref was biased or the fighter cheated when one of his fighters gets beat.

The complaints in the article are ridiculously OTT. The knockdown wasn't exactly smooth, but it was hardly "a clothesline". He took several flush shots, went down, and was unable to get up.

The throwdown saved him from what would have been a much more devastating and humiliating finish.

He could not have gotten up by the count of 50 anyway you cut it.

no he just grabbed him by his chin and threw him down. im sorry any way you cut it it was illegal. i want to see a rematch. kauffman definatly showed he was the better fighter but less experienced.
