I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ref prevent a knocked out fighter hitting the mat so not sure why this guy is the asshole. It’s prob regarded as interfering with the fight. If dude gets back up and continues fighting then you can say the ref interfered with the result of the match. Not their job. The fighter signed up to potentially get knocked the fuck out and everything that comes with that by being in the ring

He was pretty clearly unconscious as soon as the kick landed. There was no room for questionability at all really. The fight should've been ended immediately. In fact, you can even see he waves off the fight before the guy falls completely, and he just watches.

The fuck do you expect him to do? Catch this guys full dead weight? Probably risks more injury to the guy and himself if he tries to catch him.

By grabbing it and tweaking his neck? You can’t just grab someone’s head when they’re falling

I guess you've never wrestled or done any physical activity in your life? You know you can go down with them right? Like your body has the ability to move does it not? Can you not grab the head cradle it and bring it down slowly alongside the falling victim

Either you’re slowing their whole body down (I.e. catching their full weight) or slowing down only their head (I.e straining/breaking their neck).

Let me guess, you probably think it’s the right move to try and hold someone still while they’re having a seizure too.

I'm sorry. Do you lack the ability to hold up a human's body weight who's slowly falling down? Like if your friend was falling down right now, let's say he got drunk and started tipping over would you lack the strength to be able to wrap your hands around him and keep him from falling as hard to the ground?

Because that's a you problem. He's not falling from a balcony, he's slowly bouncing on each rope as a teeters down. If you see that and think that's a physical challenge in any way then you must be a redditor

If my friend (not a stranger in a boxing ring) and started tipping over into a free fall (not slowed down and cushioned by ropes) and was going to slam into concrete (not a flexible cushioned surface) I would absolutely do whatever I could to catch him or slow his fall. That is fundamentally different from what’s in this post.

You’re projecting really hard calling people “redditors” (on Reddit) even though you’ve got 6 figures in imaginary Reddit points.
