Comments Thread For: Breadman on Adames-Williams: Typical A-Side Stoppage, At Least Let The Fight Go

[Poopdick]

As there have been fatalities in the boxing ring... Please just stop. The ref was standing right there, and every reasonable opinion short of his trainer defends the stoppage. The scores were hugely one sided, and the only effective punching doing damage was coming from one side. While you may be cheering for someone to piss blood for 2 days and have problems speaking late in life like Ali and so many of the other greats from "toughing it out" during one sided fights, I am glad we will see Williams have a chance to compete again as opposed to a ref letting the action go on to satisfy some of the more blood thirsty posters.

This ref was fine. I hope he gets many more top fights.

lol I spent 13 years of my youth boxing. stop your fan opinion. anyone who hasn't boxed should stay away from the sport. fighters know what they want. and just like in everyday life. we don't need some morons telling us what we should do or think.

Translation: "Yes, I know referees are there to protect fighters, but because I boxed socially my opinion matters more than professionally trained and seasoned refs in the ring with prize fighters."

As a fan, I care about what fighters are like later in life. I do not doubt your boxing background will carry a ton more weight than most of us on most subjects. But health is not an in ring thing. Health and trauma is something any human can understand and we all have experience with. The ref did his job.
