Faber, dirty???

Question

Fingers to the eye. Kick to the groin. Did Urijah feel the thunder from the left hand of Lil Evil and decide to level the playing field with some dirty tactics?

Answer 1

I think with Urijah's fighting style, stuff like that is bound to happen.  He is so fast and explosive that when he sent out that kick,  Pulver tried to avoid it but didn't get out of the way.

As far as the eye poke, it happens all the time.  A good puncher doesn't clinch his hands in fist the whole time he fights.  The flexing of the muscles can speed up fatigue.  Instead the hands are open until he/she throws the punch. Faber was trying to pat down one of Pulver's punches (with an open hand), missed his hand, and accidentally poked him in the eye. He's not a dirty fighter, just ask Pulver (he raised his hand and praised his performance after the fight)!

Answer 2

Nope.   Pulver was being a little sensitive.  I think he got cracked a couple times with Faber's right and it surprised him.  So Jens took every opportunity - even the semi-legitimate ones - to regain his composure and try again.

Faber picked him apart.  You saw that.  Jens even raised the guys hand after the bout.  He knew that he was outclassed by a respectful, dignified opponent.

My opinion, that was the best fight of the weekend.

Answer 3

Only thing dirty about Faber is dem d**n cornrolls

Answer 4

innocent mistakes, its a game of inches and sometimes you miss, the 2 respected eachother to much going in.  If it was say penn and sherk and those things happened maybe...but not in this instance

Answer 5

No...Probably accident. Faber is just dam aggressive. Though that did come to my mind at first.

Answer 6

Great fight though, I loved it.

Answer 7

nothing dirty about it. Innocent mistakes....and a great fight!

Answer 8

Finally a question I didn't ask that was about Faber and Pulver not Kimbo!  Okay now I think the fight went back and forth the whole 5 rounds.  I do think that he was doing a little dirty work as in some dirty boxing.... I think Faber fought a good fight... some could yes say that he was doing some dirty work like that but h**l you see it so much in other fights it happens.  Don't get me wrong I am not defending Faber I was all for Pulver.  But if he was doing some dirty deeds I don't see Lil Evil respecting him so much!

Answer 9

The fingers and the kicks to the groins are just accidents. I was more appaled by the 10 or so hammer fists to the back of the head in round two.
