Stop the retarded stoppages thread

More often than not thats a solid sign the stoppage was agreed to be a good one by the fighter I'd tend to agree, but that discounts everyone as being the same type of person which obviously isn't true. Some people just live in the reality they are in & the things they can control. Once the fight is stopped its stopped. Nothing you can say or do can change that. I think Quillin is probably one of those types of guys. I also tend to think there are some guys who agree with the stoppage & ***** & moan to the ref knowing the point you brought up. Nothing is 100% with how people react in these situations. It was only going to get worse for Quillin..there was still 1/2 a round left and he was beaten up...you energy is zapped when you get wobbled like that and Jacobs was in kill mode. Quillin knew he lost...it was obvious.

Quillin didn't say boo about the stoppage...in my books that means he was in agreement with it.

It was a sh.it stoppage not because Quillin wasn't hurt(he was) but because it was a clear choke job by the ref....the guy had already gotten in the way of Jacobs before, then right after the hard right that put Quillin on bambi legs, he stepped in prematurely, and then panicked when he realised Quillin didn't go down and Jacobs couldn't follow up because the ref had stepped in and confused him.

You can make a case for too early, but it was not gonna end good. I can see both sides of that debate.

Basically how I see it is if The fighter doesn't even bother to protest it must have been a good stoppage.

If that was the first hard shot then yeah you could say it was early but he'd been getting beaten unfit like a minute and he looked out of it on the replay. I always find it weird in boxing in those situations where if you go down you get a 15 second rest but if you stay up you lose instantly. I guess guys are just too out of it to think it through and take a knee.

Watching live, I thought the ref panicked a bit but on replay it looked like he was just momentarily out of position and then when he got back into position, he took a better look he said nah, 'you're done.' I didn't like it live, but only because I thought he panicked. He did get a good good look, so that's his call still, in a championship fight/local rivalry... without a knockdown and that much distance between the fighters I can see how someone would question the stoppage. Quillin's eyes are always exaggerated and super wide open during his fights. but whatever, after seeing the replay and hearing Quillin's slurred speech I think Dock made an OK call. he's the professional. ----- If you remember back to Jacobs-Pirog, when Danny went down in a heap the ref only gave him a 5 count or so...the second Danny made a move to get up, the ref forcefully shoved him back down, straddles him and waves it off.... all while Jacobs was pleading "I'm good!" lol. I'm not bring it up to question that stoppage, but I always wondered if Jacobs would have made the count ...but, the ref made the call. Maybe the ref saved Jacobs from a beating like the ref tonight saved Quillin. Jacobs got another day, he's still viable, a champ now... and now Quillin will have to get his (if he wants it). Sure a rematch will be explored

I don't have a problem with that stoppage.

Was he done? Who knows. But the Stoppage was SHIT at that moment. Stop repeating what Paulie said. How is looking at your opponent with your eyes, with a boxing stance, with your hands up, and starting to slightly bounce on your feet, all while doing this in one spot, means clear stoppage.

this reminded me of zab vs tszyu. good stoppage imo

Quillin didn't hold or take a knee both could had save him

Good stoppage. I like everyone else here would have liked it to have gone on. But it's not our ass on the line if things go tits up. Quillin clearly didn't know where he was.

I definitely felt like Quillin shoulda been given a chance to continue & this was a bad stoppage, but there is at much fault to the fighter in this sorta situation. If there isn't a standing 8 count you can't expect leeway by the ref. You need to take a knee when you are as seriously hurt as Quillin clearly was. If Quillin didn't take a knee because he wasn't of sound mind to make that determination or cuz he's got too big of an ego, as I suspect many fighters are, to take it idk, but he'd have likely saved himself this embarrassing KO by 1 addition to his resume by doing so in my estimation. The ref coulda given him the count if he determined it was a kd. I don't think the ropes held quillin up tho.

Yeah im kinda pissed with the stoppage as well just cos I wanna see Quillen get laid out.. So happy for the Miracle Man!!

Quillin should have gone down it's his own fault he kept himself in a position to keep getting rekt while still being completely out of it. If he'd gone down gotten back up got an 8 count and regained his sh*t he may have survived it. Short of the ref deciding to give him a standing 8 count which I think he should have he did the second best thing.

I don't know that I would call it great but it was certainly fair because Quillin was ****ed up, if you look that ****ed up it is certainly fair for the ref to call it right then in any round.

i wanted to see a good fight or at least something entertaining, with quillin vs jacobs these things with these amateur judges and even referees like this, HAS TO STOP ruining boxing Lol the guy had no legs and was probably going to get lit up with undefended shots.

i wanted to see a good fight or at least something entertaining, with quillin vs jacobs these things with these amateur judges and even referees like this, HAS TO STOP ruining boxing Blame quillin for not taking a knee...but i hear you, i was disappointed it ended so quick.

Quillin spent over a minute taking good punches, i'm okay with that stoppage.

i wanted to see a good fight or at least something entertaining, with quillin vs jacobs these things with these amateur judges and even referees like this, HAS TO STOP ruining boxing Quillin got rocked on the temple so hard that he thought he was playing point guard for the University of Temple real quick. Good stoppage imo. He was gonna get world star'd bro.
