1:25 * Referee Krupenich is calling a halt to this fight. He's leading Eddie Cook to the corner and calling for the ring doctor. The ring doctor is studying the cut...

AND STILL WTF CHAMPION!!!!

Lynch was lucky the judges were so generous to him, he gets to say he got a draw with the World's Toughest Fighter, but Chandler knows he showed he was the better man, and Lynch knows it too.

We can have a rematch to settle it if he wants.

I will probably take some easy fights for the time being, but thanks for the rematch offer. Maybe in a week or two if you still have the belt. Very close fight, going by the RBR score or punchstats, a draw seems right. Going by tradtional scoring, you probably would have edged it with the knockdown.

Lynch was lucky the judges were so generous to him, he gets to say he got a draw with the World's Toughest Fighter, but Chandler knows he showed he was the better man, and Lynch knows it too.

We can have a rematch to settle it if he wants.

I will probably take some easy fights for the time being, but thanks for the rematch offer. Maybe in a week or two if you still have the belt. Very close fight, going by the RBR score or punchstats, a draw seems right. Going by tradtional scoring, you probably would have edged it with the knockdown.

Only way Chandler is losing that belt is if he drops it to challenge for something bigger. Nobody is taking it from him in the Ring. Believe that.
