...triggered outrage on social media...

When are people going to learn that the loudest voices on social media are terminally online emotional wrecks who enjoy having something to be angry about?

In realtime I thought the stoppage was a little early. On replay, thought it about right. Definitely nothing to suggest it's part of some conspiracy involving Epstein and the lizard people.

Perfect description of yourself.

A rematch is what's needed, NOT an investigation.

Facts are; Parker was not being held up by the ropes or wobbling all over the show, has proven recuperative powers, and should have been given the benefit of the doubt.

He was either legitimately playing rope-a-dope and about to mount a spirited comeback as he did vs Whyte, or was a spent force and wasgoing out on his shield, as he did vs Joyce.

Wardley either had effectively punched himself out or had enough sting left to put Parker down. We, and Parker, were denied the opportunity of finding out because the ref thought to 'save' Parker.

The conspiracy realist in me says it was more to reward Wardley which is all the more reason why a rematch with a ref who doesn't have form with shonky stoppages is warranted.

If only injustice, corruption and poverty would generate as much outrage...

Well, it's contextual. It was to nail down a shot at the undisputed, and Parker lost that opportunity. So having been buzzed but not dropped, having not turned away or gone limp, but stayed poised and protected while still attempting to fire back from shots that were more cuffing than full-blooded, I'd say it was an early stoppage that could understandably anger people.

Which is exactly why emotional imbeciles on social media wouldn't make good referees. None of that can be in the referee's mind when making decisions about fighter safety.

You don't have to be an 'emotional imbecile on social media' to point out an injustice, ex-fighters and trainers can and have called it out as such.

No matter how they slice it and dice it, that was a premature stoppage.

Not to say that either guy was going to win because there was plenty of time left and we got robbed of the real ending, win loose or draw.

Ex-fighters and trainers are looking at it from the emotional perspective too. I think your use of the word 'injustice' is misplaced here also.
