What was he hoping there? That he could turn his body away from the shots? I just cannot figure out that reaction---always felt badly for him when I see him turn away helplessly and confusedly from Louis and just get pounded like that. He just froze up. Looks like anyway. Guy like that shoulda ran his ass into the center of the ring or taken a fucking knee to get an 8 count atleast.
