The ending of this fight is very easy to understand why Abidi was so pissed off.
LeBanner hit him and Abidi clinched....LeBanner then pushed him back and Abidi bounced off the ropes onto the floor and the ref jumped in here to stop the fight.
There was 10 seconds left on the clock.
10 seconds left in a fight where half of LeBanners bloody supply is hanging off his forehead, where Abidi has hit the floor several times, where lebanner is cut and bleeding and where both have been hurt and they let it go....then 10 seconds left and the ref calls it off after a push of all things.
That takes nothing away from Lebanner as he'd have won on points anyway, but I think they both deserved to go the distance and things between them would be much better now if they had.
