We all saw what dog was in better shape that day, and I think that's where the style comes into play. A little different style, and the black dog comes to the top and it's for his taking. Instead, he did what he'd done the entire time, and that was just hold without advancing into any type of serious offense. I personally don't think he took more than most. He succumbed to a battle of attrition, not outright brutality coupled with everything else that goes along with that. Either way, I was extremely proud of the black dog and his owner. I just wish the dog would've been a little more. His owner had done his job as he needed to do.

Fuck yes!!!! I agree with you wholeheartedly on this, he did not want the fight so he was smart enough to hold out his opponent for 2:17, that's nothing to scoff at. But a truly game dog he was not, he could have gone, he simply had enough of playing keep away. I don't think he was in shock nor blind, he was just flat our worn out and done. But a pretty damn smart fella he was to avoid what he did, no shame in that.
