Should have been stopped in round 5.
Calling the doctor over twice means their were legitiamte concerns. Horrible to let a 23yo fighter take a beating like that in a non title fight.

I am usually a big Smoger fan and not to take the blame completely off of him because he deserves his share, but so does the Dr and Tapias corner. A one punch ko Is one thing but a sustained beating, as we all know, Is another. This kid needs some time off and If and when he returns he will need two or three beatable opponents before he gets back In there with a live body. The match making was questionable at this stage In his career.

Referees and doctors should stop fights, they should have the fighter's health at heart.

Steves mistake was not grabbing the agressor! To many refs move in on the guy whos getting beat instead of the dominate fighter and backing him off!
Equally important was the kids management taking on a fighter like Kirkland. At 23 with a handfull of fights the kid had no need to fight a guy like Kirkland at this stage of his career. Really bad choice of an opponent for the kid. Ray
