Andy Lee stoppage VIDEO

[SnoopySmurf]

A little soon...but it was inevetible. Might as well regroup and fight another day.

[Burner]

What the ****.....rematch.

That was a horrible stoppage...Lee cracks him right in the face then the ref stops it....oh hell no...let them fight it out ref.

[Ryn0]

Rubbish stoppage he was still in the fight and just as the ref stopped it he hit him with a big shot.

[Feint]

I think this was more of a case of unfortunate timing rather than a bad stoppage…

Yeah, on one hand as long as you are fighting back you want to let them keep going. But what is interesting about the stoppage is that there was a moment much earlier in the round where Lee got hit with three good shots and not only did he not fight, but his gloves dropped. If you were going to stop the fight based on my previously stated criteria, that might have been the time to have done it.

I bring that up because despite that moment where it was obvious that Lee was in trouble, I think the ref wanted to give Lee a chance to show he was still in the fight so he let them fight on. But despite the fact Lee was throwing a shot here and there, he was getting hit pretty much at will. I think the ref finally said to himself, Look, if this kid gets hit with one more big shot I have to stop the fight. And sure enough, that is exactly what happened.

The timing was unfortunate in that the last punch made it look like Lee still had a chance. But even the most biased observer would have to admit that he clearly did not. I love to watch big knockouts as well but we don't need any more dead boxers in the sport. The ref has to protect the safety of the boxers and although this is a violent sport, there wasn’t any need to watch Lee get his brain knocked around needlessly.

In any case, both Lee and his corner barely protested. They knew he was a beaten man on that night.

This was bull****. Andy Lee should have been granted the chance to redeem himself for the next round. sure he was getting hammered but it was his chance to prove himself against true adversity and his time was cut short. I don't care whom you are yo if you still throwing GOOD punches and not just any punch like Lee was doing it wouldn't be right to stop him because he's staking his claim as a elite prospect, the ref should have let him finish the round and gather himself. This referee probably would have stopped El Cepillo yesterday after falling out of the ring and being countlessly wobbled yet look at him, same with Diaz. Lee should go for an IMMEDIATE rematch and redeem himself quickly before people get any more of a chance to bash his name.

[Alec900]

kid was done.get over it.

[Lucky13]

Lee landed a good shot before he got stopped, I'm a little surprised with the stoppage but I couldn't care less.
