Should the ref have stepped in after Mac went down?

[.Mik.]

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.

I still dont know exactly whether or not anything from Enzo hit the decks with the first punch, though he certainly held onto the ropes. From the replays I saw, nothing Haye threw landed with any significance in that little flurry afterwards until the shot that ended it.

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

Who cares once again the mighty english took down the welsh

Apparently it was all going off in the stadium.

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

IMO you let a Champion who beats the count, has his gloves up, and wants to continue, fight. If he obviously can't defend himself, then you step in and waive it off.

He barely lifted his gloves up.

He was allover the place, even 5 minutes after the fight he was stumbling around the ring, essentially the ref would have been delaying the inevitable and risking a boxers heath at the same time. Most boxers are too proud to accept they can't continue and will always say "I'm alright" it's the refs job to protect them and wave the fight when it's clear a boxer is out of it. Enzo was out of it.

A lot of the time I would agree, Refs get very twitchy nowadays especially some of the English guys. But in this case the ref had an easy decision, if you let fights like that continue people end up seriously hurt.
