Referee on Tim Tszyu vs Tony Harrison

[FinitoxDinamita]

Tszyu did his best Emile Griffith impression lol

[jaded]

I agree with all of that. However, it did seem once Harrison got back up that he responded well to the ref. Both things can be true.

Responding is one thing...being able to defend yourself is another. He was beat-up...and badly at that. He would have been sending him out to get KO'd...maybe worse.

BAD STOPPAGE!

That Asian referee should have let Harrison continue and allowed Tim to do more damage to him. The ref denied us with a spectacular knockout finish.

I didn't watch the fight but after reading this i think it was good stoppage

First, why point out that the referee is Asian? We have eyes and it's irrelevant.

Two, that was a good stoppage.

Lastly, "do more damage to him?". You sound like a well-balanced individual.

Harrison is generally speaking a live dog, and the referee should have allowed it to continue so that he could have landed a hail mary punch.

He chose to participate in a violent sport, so he is also used to being pummeled. A disastrous stoppage and anticlimatic. So describing someone is no longer permitted here?

[War Room]

He could have stopped it before the kd. After the kd , Harrison had responded to all commands he should have let it continue.

I thought it was a bad stoppage. Not a fan of Harrison either.

The ref should've given an 8 count before the final barrage. Maybe if that would've happened and the ref allowed him to continue, Tszyu would've gotten the KO. But that's pretty harsh.

As a real boxing fan, I hate premature stoppages by "softy" referees. I want to witness brutal KOs and the ref didn't disappoint me.
