The KO is because tombstone has no "controlled" movement anymore. As in, he can only turn around... He couldn't actually run up to Skorpios anymore and attack him. So if Skorpio wanted he could just wait it out or constantly try to find an angle of attack. KO or not, Skorpios was still fully functional and Tombstone wasn't. So its pretty clear who deserves the win in this one. And I say this as a Tombstone fan! Can't win them all ;)

For anyone saying Tombstone was counted out unfairly by about 2:15 on the bell Tombstone was only showing one side of drive so they had more than enough time to be judged for not showing controlled movement by the referee. That being said I think the microphones were really playing up this match because I believe Ray couldn't hear the refs counting him out hence his confusion

Full credit to Skorpios, they could have calmly and safely sat back and waited for a count out after Tombstone lost drive on one side.

But instead they took the significantly huge risk of driving face first into Tombstone for the full KO and putting on a great show. They could have easily killed themselves doing that.

Incredible fight, both bots are doing what they do best.

I don't like the tombstone's driver guy but that countdown was a bit weird.. it looked like the judges were eager to declare a KO as soon as they thought they'd get away with it.. if it were any other bot then they would have waited until all movement was lost.

[lasersbee]

Nice to see Tombestone loose due to driving in circles with only one wheel.... Skirpios should have stayed away when Tombsrtone's wheel fell off...The count would have started earlier.

0:56 1:09 classic Diana, Tombstone is up to full speed and one side of the drive is dead, time to go weapon to weapon just for the fun of it.

I think this fight could've gone very differently if Tombstone started out inverted and made most of the hits higher up on Skorpios, but I'm no Ray and he probably knows best.

That "get off my lawn" face at the end of a count down was really funny

[carsonspence]

I would like to see an up close breakdown of the damage the robots took. like an after the fight inspection. is that content available anywhere?

[TotallyDumbTheNoob]

The first time I saw ray loss with an unhappy face

[briangriffinfamilyguyfan]

I hope Tombstone can return back in Season 8

[BTTFF]

Great driving, going against the wheel and avoiding the main weapon/eating it on the shield.

[irfanalakbar]

This is the best KO of the great tombstone..

[zackuattack]

Who would've thought eh? The underdog taking down the "kinetic energy king"?

[caspermaster-com]

Wow that was a heroic win by Scorpios, definitely didn't try for an early countdown like they could have done. Incredible strength of their bot shown!

[DDDHHytp]

Tombstone's damage is so rampant that he always deals more damage to himself than his opponents do.

[addisonfung]

Skorpios is so durable! How in the world they survive from Tombstone’s Destruction!?

[madingthree]

If this was Season 7 this fight would have went the distance

[Yamagatabr]

That 1:30 tire removal is so non-challant. Its like JOhn Wick taking out his bullets 😂😂😂😂

[satriaelang]

Tombstone have big damage, but the recoil of his weapon is difficult to control
