Yea it could have been stopped, it was pretty bad, I wouldn't have really thought "oh WTF why they stopping it". It was constantly bleeding. I respect Roy for continuing the fight like that though.

I think it could have been if it wasn't a PPV fight.Comment

they never got control of the cuts . . . i personally was really surprised and disappointed they never got a handle on the cut, and that they never let the cut man into the ring to really work on it properly.Comment

I personally would of stopped it.
It wouldn't stop bleeding.Comment

In any other country that fight would have been stopped.
Even in America, if it was anyone other than RJJ it would have probably been stopped.
Roy is a warrior for fighting on like that, but the ref and ringside doctors are there to protect the fighters. Roy obviously wasn't going to win it, so why let him stand there while Calzaghe tee's up on his busted up eye?
Jones couldn't see, so he couldn't block the punches, so the cut kept on getting worse, it should have been stopped.Comment

The commentators remarked that Roy asked his corner is the eye closed, or something to that effect, suggesting he couldn't see or tell how bad it was and in some pain.
I think it could have been stopped, but it would have been interesting to see it if the cut man actually dealt with the cut. Radical idea, and they said they'd done all they could, clearly not.Comment

yeah it should have been I think.
A punchers chance severely disappears in the later rounds and Joe was clearly going into rounds 9,10,11...any stoppage then would've been fine.
I'm glad they didn't, Roy proved that he has a massive heart, and nobody can take that away from him now. We all saw it.Comment
