Had Mtwaga been the one out on his feet taking excess punishment in the 12th...

I think the champ was given the benefit of the doubt seeing how he was surely ahead on the cards. You have to take that championship, not let the ref give it to you prematurely

dont embarass him like that!!!! I'm with you TS, those damn Ricans think they run boxing now! This is why I hate ricans. They think they are better than us boricuas but we know we run the show, right gerardopr? What?

The fight dind't need to be stop, juanma trow enoght punches. BTW not sure why the ref didn't warn Mtwaga after headbutts, punches after bell and punches in the back.

Would the referee have stopped the fight and given Juanma a TKO win. I really think he would have, especially how they ruled an obvious slip as a KD. I don't think Lopez ever took a bunch of unanswered punches so the referee didn't have to stop the fight.

I agree, Matagwa would have been stopped, juanma did show heart but that statement alone means that he had to survive which may not indicate a dominate performance, which one scorecard somewhat stated.

The ref should have stopped it. They are suppose to stop it when you can no longer defend yourself. Just because you can stand up doesn't mean you are fit to continue. Juanma was out on his feet the whole 12th round, hands down, getting hit flush with every punch Mtwaga threw at him. No idea how he managed to stay on his feet, took balls on his part, but a competent ref would have stopped it. The punches he took in those last 2 rounds could have ended his prime. He might be damaged goods now. thats bs...this sport is for men, stopping juanma when he didnt even go down woulda been terrible.......mtagwa was very arm weary and had no finishing skills.......why reward him a stoppage he didnt earn(this coming from a mtagwa fan) especially when juanma had a clear point advantage..........

yeah they woulda stopped it........and it wouldve been bs.....just like it woulda been bs to stop juanma yesterday.......

the fight would have been stopped if it was Mtawga lol.

I agree with the TS, it would've been stopped. Juanma showed a lot of heart though, you have to agree with that.... Can't take that away from him........

I agree,yes,the ref would have stopped it if it was Mtwaga,for sure

Yea Idk what the hell is up with them lately, no room for a valid argument without some trash talking. :bounce::nutkick::boxing::thinking: Yea there must be a reason why so many bait threads.

I feel pretty confident in saying yes, they would have stopped it and given Juanma the TKO.

replying to your own topics.....oh you try to hard.... dont embarass him like that!!!! I'm with you TS, those damn Ricans think they run boxing now!

I think he would have stopped it prematurely had Mtwaga went down.
