Should they have stopped Pacquiao/Diaz before the knock out?

[GodOfWarII]

No, Diaz wanted to fight and was in the ring for a reason, he wanted to fight until the final bell.
He was never in true trouble, and the cut was ok'd by the doctor.
There are far too many early stoppages in the sport today, fighters are well aware of the dangers of the sport and the potential risks involved.

So we shouldn't stop fights because Diaz and his corner are too ****** to quit? He couldn't even hit pacman for the most part, and was getting his ass torn apart.

[STEELHEAD]

yes they should of stopped it after they showed diaz corner glueing his face back together between 6th and 7th! he was lucky screwy cortez wasnt in there.
and i'm not say this just because i lost a bet. :blow:

If he wasn't hurt and the doc ok'd him - let them fight. Cuts can be stitched, bruises heal. I don't ever want a person to get seriously injured in the ring, but this was one of "those" kinds of fights in which, unless your dying, keep fighting. I respect him for going as long as he did against that kind of beating. He showed true heart in there but was just simply outclassed.

It was a championship fight so the ref made a good performance by continuing the fight until is time to stop.

[warp1432]

Yes, but I didn't mind because the knockout was well worth with it.

Look at how bad Diaz ended up at the end of the Morales fight his face was truly messed even on that fight, And that was on Morales's retirement fight, Who didnt see that something like this could even happen this is like one of the first things I thought about when I heard this fight was happening.

plus it was a $50 ppv. if it was on regular hbo i think they would've stopped it.

He said he can take the power....so he'd be pissed if the ref stopped the fight. Good thing it ended early before it could have been too late.
