[QUOTE="Lardinho, post: 152906"] you don't go out cold for 4 minutes after landing conscious from the tackle and trying to get up. If you go out like that, there *must* have been contact after the tackle. It doesn't matter how hard it was or was intended to be if he is trying to get up and he's not expecting it, his head is raising and a fist is going the other way, the nerves of the jaw will KO him. You don't have to hit someone that hard, just has to be in the right place ie. the jaw. I'm not saying that the guy intended to hit Bestsen or did hit Bestsen, the replay is inconclusive. If he did hit him, I'm not saying that it was intentional either, but that is what the area of conjecture should be about, not on at what point he went out as that is open and shut. He was simply not knocked unsconscious by the tackle (although certainly he felt it and would have weakened him towards any other incident), yet he DID end up unconscious for 4 minutes from an incident that happened *after* the tackle as he was trying to get up.
