Revaz is not at fault for forfeiting

I agree Revaz acted disrespectfully during the match and generally displayed un-sportsmanlike behaviour, yet I think it’s ridiculous that people expected him to keep pulling after he broke his finger.

Sure it’s cool when our favourite athletes bust out every round like crazy, but you can’t expect someone to pull with a broken finger. As someone who broke a bone while pulling recently (though it wasn’t my hand), breaking a bone hurts like a bitch. Especially since a hand is the main area of contact.

Throwing hundreds of pounds of force at each other into your broken hand would only make your break far worse, and extend the recovery time and awful rehab from the injury. You could get nerve damage and extend your recovery time by months.

Besides, it wouldn’t have been interesting anyway because you’d be watching him pull in tons of pain and not at his full ability. It would be a boring slaughter fest where we would just watch him get hurt more.
