What did you think of the Tito v Shamrock fight on UFC 61?
The fight went exactly how I predicted to all my friends. First round Stoppage by Brutal ground and pound, team Punishment style. Although I would have preferred to see an all out war. Ken Shamrock is not the caliber of a much younger and more skilled Tito Ortiz. If the fight would have went on any longer Ken " the worlds most overated man" Shamrock would have ended up in the hospital with a huge hole in his head from Tito's elbows. The fight was stopped just in time.
Reply:tito ortiz was the winner all the around.
Reply:SAD!Ken is at the end of his career.
Reply:Ken was unfairly stopped from proving himself the better overall fighter by an inferior ref. Big John McCarthy would have at least waited till ken was knocked out before stoping the fight.


Yes Tito was winning and in a very strong position, but ken was by no means finished......Who Knows what would have happened if he had been given the opportunity to carry on?
Reply:Who knows what might have happened in Tito had been allowed to carry on. Shamrock got hit with like 6 unanswered elbows, Herb Dean was right to stop the fight.

I put the kettle on and came back and it had finished ! :-)





I have never seen Shamrock fight but he has a big reputation - and he didnt match it in this fight !
Reply:It was a good stop. He wasn't even turning his head to glance off the elbows.. he was just sitting there taking it. Granted his hands were up.. but it was just for show.. they weren't being used to defend him. And if you don't defend yourself the fight is over. That's all there is to it.





And yes, Shamrock is a piedce of ****. But i wouldn't really call him overrated.. cuz who even thinks he has any skill? Someone would have to think he was good for him to be overrated. The only reason he seems that way is becuase he keeps spouting how awesome he is.
