I think BJ waving his hands in the air played a part in the stoppage. Not that it was a horrible stoppage, just it should've been made sooner if it was going to be made.
BJ used the power of suggestion to influence the decision. I learned about this once in Psychology class. My teacher told our class to do the following.
Solve these mathmatical equations:
12 x 2= ?
17 + 7= ?
8 x 3= ?
16 + 8= ?
14 + 10= ?
15 + 9= ?
Once you have found all the correct answers, write down the name of a vegetable on a piece of paper.

sorry but thats BS. sherk was definitly in no way 'out' while mario was 'assessing' him.
he thought mario already stopped the fight so he just sat there.
all it takes is mario to say 'fights not over, end of the round' and sherk gets up and goes to his corner.
im not saying sherk definitly could've answered the bell for round 4, he was definitly rocked and his hand is probably broken, but he needs to be given the opportunity especially in a title fight.
Absolutely 100% agree. That fight was a BS stoppage.
But to be honest I dont think it would've mattered, im almost positive Sherk's hand was broken due to how he wasnt throwing the right and if you look closely wasnt clinching his fist.
Sherk's gameplan baffled me...he should've tried for the takedown by the 3 rd round. If he would've told me his gameplan before the fight I would've never picked Sherk to win.
I replayed the final moments on my TIVO over and over, and it looks like Sherk went out from the punch after the flying knee. You can see Penn get up, thinking it's over, but then Sherk begins to wake up, so he goes back and flurries him until the bell goes. Sherk was barely concious when Mario checked him out, and I do not like stoppages after the bell goes but Sherk looked done to me. Plus, his hand wasn't getting any better. Sherk fans should be happy the fight was stopped when it was, the next round would have been ugly imo.
i honestly didn't see sherk fight coherently throughout the whole match. every time he got clocked by bj his body totally reacted with a jab that doesnt even come close to the target. His arm reach put him at a real disadvantage. the flying knee was something that totally came out of no where and i didn't expect to happen. like i said before if it was within 3 rounds bj would win, but on this night the next round wouldn't even had mattered since sherk was totally distraught.
I know Sherk fought a stupid fight (what was he thinking ? And I know he got clocked with a decent flying knee and i know he took a couple of hammer fists after, but the fact is , is the bell rang and BJ called the fight not yamasaki it was a wierd stoppage. And by the way a lot of fighters dont hear the bell thats a fact it doesnt mean your out of it. And I had my money on Penn so i am not be biased. What if frazier just called the fight when the round ended and Ali was messed up on the ropes. They would help him back to his corner give him smelling sauce and clean him up.
