Last night showed the EXACT reason I HATE some boxing fans...

[Mr. Ryan]

An honest referee would have stopped the fight after the knock down in the first round or after the numerous power shots that Lee landed the next several rounds. Vera gets knocked down and hurt, but is giving a chance to continue. Lee was hit with a couple of shots and the referee stops the fight after Lee lands a solid shot back... That's a totally biased referee.

Lee dropped Vera, but it wasn't a resounding knockdown where Vera gets up wobbly. Plus it was at the end of the round, so a ref could give the fighter benefit of it being early in a fight.

When Lee was landing shots, he wasn't doing so in a sustained fashion. It was usually 1-2 punches that landed clean, but never seriously rocked Vera to the point of going down.

Lee on the other hand was the one being hit with unanswered shots and was being rocked consistently. If you don't fight back, you get stopped.
