Should the ref have stepped in after Mac went down?

Who cares once again the mighty english took down the welsh

[Dynamite Kid]

he would have got knocked unconcious if the referee had let that go on

[Crazylegs77]

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.

This brings up a whole new point, hitting while down is a DQ, in the excitement of the moment I didnt even think of that.

he was'nt down though u gloves have to touch the canvas for a knockdown,having said that the referee shoud have pushed Haye out of the way and given him an 8 count cause there is not much u can do when the ropes are holding u up

Dokes v Ruddock

Cooney v Norton

Yeah I thought the first shot was a KD, but I was watching a 3" by 3" screen, the ref was standing right there, I can't question

If they would have DQ'd Haye a riot would have broken out. Haye was also in the excitement of the moment. When you're about to KO a guy you usually keep hitting until ref steps in and it happens in a split second.

To be fair as soon as that first punch landed it was over.

What the ref should and should not have done is academic. Macca lost the fight the nano second that punch connected.

[Malicious]

Yeah he was on spaghetti legs, but he had his hands up and beat the count. I would have given him a shot at defending himself. Then again, the ref was right there and I wasn't. As for the count, it looked like he was going down after the straight right, but got caught in the ropes. Then Haye got right in his chest kinda preventing him from going down.

[Neo_UK]

Stop acting like *****s two warriors got in the ring and one Genghis Khan'd the **** outta the other one.

Ref let it go on for a bit unlike those pansy yanks that would ave jumped in straight away screaming STOP TEH VIOLENCE!!!!11111

There is NO WAY the ref could have let that fight continue, Enzo was all over the place
