Eskimos Braidwood and Maurer were on the undercard of an MFC event. While Braidwood took his match convincingly, with a knockout at 1:54 of the first round, Maurer was on the other end of knockout at the 36 second mark. He was caught with a kick to the head then followed up with a punch and as he hit the mat, several more punches were landed before the fight was stopped. Maurer had the better fight experience than Braidwood, having won his first professionally ranked match, but that may have cost him in this one, as his opponent recognized that he kept his hands down and when he saw that opening he acted upon it.

I caught some of those highlights on SPac. He usually goes down much faster than that. :yes:

Are Braidwood & Maurer still under contract? I would think the Eskimos frown upon this sort of thing, especially after incidents like when the Red Wings discovered Uwe Krupp was racing sled dogs while recovering from a back injury.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.
