CagePotato reader ‘destinationblood’ sent us this footage of last weekend’s James Irvin vs. Mike Crisman fight at Gladiator Challenge so that we could see for ourselves what all the fuss was about. And despite the shaky, long-distance quality of the video, two things are clear:
1) Crisman knocks Irvin onto his ass with a left hook, right off the bell. (So yes, "The Fresh One," you were right.)
2) That controversial knee that came in the finishing sequence (skip to about 2:03) was freakin’ brutal, and it did look rather questionable. Did celebrity referee Ken Shamrock actually make the right call?
Irvin and Crisman are slated to have their rematch in May. Fun fact: This is Irvin’s ninth-consecutive fight that has ended in the first round.


Umm, ya… its a three point rule, we’ve had Herb Dean as the ref at these Gladiator Challenge fights very frequently, his ONE knee on the ground, makes no difference, when someone takes a shot, you can still knee them in the face, same applies here, his hand was up, shouldn’t have been on the ground like a bitch and he wouldn’t have gotten kneed in the chops!
