This is a guy who had never been stopped in a world level career. Ergo a tough fucking guy. He had eight seconds to recover and still felt like he couldn't continue. To me that says more about the power he got clobbered with than anything else.

He did give him a chance Miles, he gave him a chance to say no thanks mate.

It's just my thing, I am never into these count outs when the fighter is up. If he was down and then only up at 8 and falling all over the place, but Geale wasn't at the completely drunk stage to me. Shaken sure, hurt sure, but a few seconds to go and a minute to take a break and then maybe call it quits if his team thinks he is done.
