Comments Thread For: Tommy Tolan is Enraged, Disputes Saunders Stoppage

BIGPOPPAPUMP

“It’s a f**king disgrace,” spat Tommy ‘The Tiger’ Tolan as he stormed past me on the way to his dressing room at the York Hall on Wednesday night, steaming with fury. Moments earlier referee Jeff Hinds had stopped Tolan at 1.07 of the first after he’d been caught and rocked by 2008 Beijing Olympian Billy Joe Saunders, who moved to 12-0 (8) on the BoxNation televised bill.

The stoppage was a tad premature but I've seen a lot worse. Mr Tolan was outclassed & would have just shipped a load of punishment - that much was obvious from the outset.

I feel sorry for him (pride-wise) but if a fast, powerful boxer is landing a flurry of blows to the head the Ref makes a decision. Given Tommy's history is may have been early but the Ref has to make a split second decision.

Best of luck to him in the future.
