It is quite hard to watch those clips when you know how things ended up.

I read about this in the news. Can’t bring myself to watch the post fight interview. Although I read the transcript and he talks of entertaining the fans. Tragic. RIP.

I understand. but in another way, Scott was a warrior who enjoyed the coverage i did for his fights and this was one of his best win and performance. I think he would've enjoyed the Hls on what was a war.

Truly truly sad what happened afterwards. I will miss him as i really enjoyed following his career. From his first win till the end...

True warrior

Just to clarify...

I don't think there is anything wrong about making or distributing those clips...

It is just that watching them made me feel very uncomfortable.

He was exhausted in the last round and unfortunately took a beating... had the right strategy of moving and retreating under pressure but took a lot of punishment... even the KD in the last seconds...
