Are they trying to cut Lawlor?

Tommy needs to take this to the ground

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail." - Jack Burton

he's still bitching about Belcher's slam?

sheesh. it was legal. bad positioning by Cote and Belcher took advantage of it.

dude he simply addressed it because it was such a huge issue after the fight…there were a couple articles on this very website dedicated to it

Actually of all the things he talked about it the headspike is what he spent the least time on

He should still complain.

If Cote head was downward more it would be illegal but because he got spiked on his face its not illegal?!? It didn’t look that much different from the marquart vs leites spike. Both very dangerous and you land wrong you could break a neck. im just guessing.

he wasn't spiked directly onto his head/neck

Yes, his face was driven into the mat, but it’s not like he was piledriven here. IIRC, Cote was much more spread out, with less of a chance to compress his spine.

I for one am actually really excited to see his next fight…I love his style

I like Cote but . . .

I don’ t think time will be generous with him. He just turned 30 years old. He’s had a number of injuries. It’s going to be a long while before he will be able to compete for the MW title.

Two consecutive losses, he needs a win.

Pulling for Lawlor.

Love the guy. Let’s hope he can last more than a round without gassing this time though.

loser leaves town fight

by nastyem on Aug 10, 2010 10:06 AM EDT reply actions  

When did this fight get signed?

It sucks cause I don’t wanna see either guy get tossed, but I’d say whoever loses is gone.
