That is the rules. The ref was stopping so that the doctor could check the cut. If the doctor saw that the cut was serious (which I thought it was after seeing a couple quarts drain out) he would have stopped the fight. Ray had very little momentum in that entire fight, unless you consider the fact that he was on his back most of the fight. Now, had he connected with that spinning kick at the first of the last round, that would have been a whole new ball game and probably the end of that fight.
At the bottom of your post it says something in another language which
in english says: It is sweet and appropriate to die for one's country, or: It is sweet and fitting to die for the fatherland.
I can't understand why anybody would feel that it would ever be sweet and appropriate or sweet and fitting to die for their country. Now after getting brainwashed by the military to believe that, yeah I could see it. Just a comment, not poking fun.
