Is it wrong for a trainer to fear for the life of its fighter

This wasn't Kirkland vs Vera, though. Hatton wasn't landing cleanly at will, or incredibly powerfully. He was just completely in control.

The fight was horrible and from that perspective, it was a relief for it to be over, but really, if he's gone 11 rounds, you might as well let it go.

It's like McGirt wants to show that he cares so much about the well-being of his fighter.

Should have just let him finish the fight, IMHO. Hollow moral victory or not, that's what Paulie wanted.

Paulie had the sense that he was heavily losing the fight but wanted to finish on his feet. I think champions even paper champs deserve the benefit of the doubt, especially since paulie was never seriously hurt, to hear the decision. I hope paulie fires mcgirt who loves stopping fights Wlad-Brewster II, Gatti-Floyd for example. He's a decent trainer but if he can't stand to see his guy get beat then he's in the wrong line of work.

mcgirt did what he did because he was concerned for his fighter and knew paulie would go ahead and take the beating.

paulie might fire mcgirt... i dunno if paulie will be able to afford mcgirt without his belt.
