    Should the ref have stepped in after Mac went down?

    Not contesting the outcome just seemed the ref stood there and did nothing while a downed Mac was caught in the ropes being battered for no reason.

    Step in stop the action give 10 count then proceed, he clearly would have had some chance of continuing...or if he was clearly out of it then stop it there.

    It wouldn't have made a difference IMO. Would have just injured Mac more.

        Good stoppage, Macca was running around in circles after he got up, if the fight had continued the only thing that would have happened is Macca getting knocked out even more brutally.

          Yeah he should have but I can't see any way Mac was making it out of that round, haven't seen a replay yet though

            I think the outcome would have been the same, but I think he was allowed to take too much damage is what Im saying. The ref should have jumped in sooner.

                Oh, yea I agree, while Mac was one the ropes he got hit a good number of times flush while he was down. I thought you meant let Mac continue after the KD.

                  the ref, like just about any other ref these days, failed to do his job. the first big shot was a clear KD. nobody cares about anyones opinion of what would have happened had he done his job, the fact is he failed to do it.
