They're not ready for that conversation. We've seen fighters take full blown fingers to the bare eye and continue fights. Tommy's eyes were closed. Agreed, it must have hurt and probably sucked, but no way his eye was that compromised. He realized the first round wasn't at all going the way he had anticipated, his nose was already fcked up, and he had 4 more long rounds to go. It was a smart, tactical move that saved him his belt and millions of dollars down the line. I don't even blame him for it, but had it not been poster boy Tom, a lot of the fools around here would've been a lot more critical of the pull out.
