    Was the ball shot a factor?

    Did Mormeck get winded partially because of the low blow from Bell?

    Do you think he could have one the fight if not for the ballshot?

    No, if so, Mormeck said he was ok...

    It has also been proven, that when people get hit in the nuts and look hurt, they're FAKING it...

      I doubt it. Why would he fake it and then not take the minuets to recover?

        Don't forget that Mormeck doesn't speak english. He could have thought that the ref was asking if he wanted to continue fighting? Not sure. For the record, I don't think it affected him adversly.

          I think the biggest factor was O'Neil Bell knocking Mormeck the **** out.

            Mormeck fought only once a year since 2003. He has some decent power but it's evident that he also has stamina problems. I've also noticed that Bell was taking Mormeck's punches all too well.

            To answer your question, NO, the lowblow was not a major cause of Mormeck's loss.

                In his last fight it seemed like Stamina was not a problem.

                  Nah. Round 7 was awesome. The fight pretty much went: Bell lands and lands and lands, MORMECK LANDS KILLER COMBO, Bell unhurt continues to land

                  Round 7 they traded heavy fire until Bell had Mormeck hurt. Bell taunted him a bunch and took all of the punches well, which probably would have KO'ed most opponents.

                  Round 10 Bell just unloaded on an exhausted Mormeck. I wasn't jumping up and down or anything.
