What took them so long to tell smooger to stop the fight? smooger must have asked over 5-7 times if he should stop the fight and never got an answer after they left the ring. Why did they prolong the decision so long??
They were under pressure by Smoger. Smoger was actually asking them if they were sure that Margarito was unable to continue because he didn't want to stop the fight. Smoger was the referee in Wolak vs Delvin and that eye of Wolak was pretty nasty and he still allowed the fight to continue, and I read somewhere that the doctors of Wolak vs Delvin were the same of Cotto vs Margarito II.
The doctors didn't know what to say since they wanted to stop the fight but as soon as they did it then all the responsibility of the stoppage was on them, not on the referee. Smoger did a great job and said to Margarito that he was stopping the fight bu like saying "I tried to let you continue, but they didn't want to"
Here's a pic of Wolak (he finished the fight), and this is a nasty eye, Margarito was fine compared to this
