Quicker stoppages?

yeah i have noticed that too and i don't like it......they should let them box it out like they did in the old days....

I do think that today's referees are more likely to stop fights earlier than the pre 1990's refs. However I think this is more to do with social changes and society's attitude to boxing than anything else. Also I'd rather have a re-match following a controversial stopage than a death. True enough.....I agree.

the stoppage is at the refs discretion and im sure they no the signs of a beaten fighter so has soon has he sees them its hes job to get them outta there

If the ref didn't stop the fight, I think Castillo would've been killed. Personally, I think that's an exaggeration. However, this thread is not about Castillo/Corrales I. I just used that as an example.
