Anonymous said...: That REFEREE deserve more than 1 kick.

Im sure is not right to do that but WTF if it was timeout why the guy keep the Clock running ?

i think banned is too much for that i have seen worse than that in many other non combat sports and only get a suspension..

Now give me Anderson Silva vs this guy MATOS

Plug him in MMA and lets have fun; August 23, 2008 5:48 PM

G-Off said...: 1. Bullshit disqual, but it was the medical staff's fault, not the ref's. He had no choice.

2. Absolutely uncalled for act by the fighter anyway.

3. Weak kick, didn't even knock him down.

TKD is at the end of the line in the olympics, methinks.; August 23, 2008 11:25 PM

That dumbass took longer than the allotted 1 min injury time and the olympic officials called the fight, not the ref. Plus, his kick is weak sauce. It didnt even phase the guy. Didn't even knock him down.; August 24, 2008 12:48 AM

Nentisys said...: WTF? The Cubans must be crazy, they know the rules (i dont know jack shit about TKD) but the commentator said that the athlete has 1 minute of "injury" time, if he isnt ready to fight after that its game over.. now he didnt stand up during the 1 min so he lost.

Oh ye I agree with Chris... proper MT high kick without warning -> Lights out no question!; August 24, 2008 6:20 AM

Dude...

In olympic tae kwon do, you're allowed to get one full minute (no more than that) to attend to an injury. Nothing more. He took longer and couldn't return - Hence, DQ'd.; August 24, 2008 6:39 AM
Anonymous said...: all the people hating on the ref are forgetting one thing, the ref was the one following the rules, he had exactly 60 seconds tor recover and he took 63 seconds so he was disqualified, ive never heard of a 12 or 13 count in boxing, so hes out, fuck him; August 24, 2008 7:22 AM

csreeves said...: The one thing no one has yet brought up is this...

He stood up walked around in about 3 circles and KICKED! (wrong guy, but still, he kicked)

...so exactly how bad was the injury??? Or was the extra 15 seconds of walking around yelling at the ref what he needed to recoup?

Watch the video again and see how fast this Cuban dipshit pops to his feet (with not a hitch)and starts pacing...all while terribly injured.

Two words....MENTAL TOUGHNESS...(and this guys doesn't know the meaning); August 24, 2008 10:22 AM
Anonymous said...: he was mad cuz borat won lol
but yeah shameful behavior.. i loved when the commentator said "i never seen that on any sport" lol welcome to mma, hockey, footbal, err.. i laugh; August 24, 2008 12:04 PM
essential said...: I thought it was funny. Poor sportsmanship of course, but funny. I can't believe they still teach that stuff, Tae Kwon Do, it's almost like teaching kids to build houses with paper.

I have a buddy who I teach kung-fu to and he is taking TKD classes. And I feel its like this: if you want to study a martial art and don't care for any practical self-defense, take up Yoga.; August 24, 2008 10:20 PM
Alex said...: Poor sportsmanship, the ref didnt deserve a kick...PERIOD. He should've talked to the ref or the coach shouldve talked to him..not fucking kicked him in the face. Ban is a definate, he knows right and wrong, fucking cubans....; August 29, 2008 1:03 AM
