The thing I found more uncomfortable, for some reason, was seeing him talking to himself as he was getting pummelled. I think you could tell he just wanted to be the hell out of there but didn't wanna be the one to pull himself out and seemed like he was waiting for the ref or his corner to stop it. The guy has tremendous heart and courage but it wasn't nice to see. As for people saying, he was fighting back, in the tenth he wasn't throwing anything back really and that's when it should've been stopped.
