Why would there be?

Average Joe got battered and stopped.

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.

How so? Do you know that? So, by your metric, no one outside of a referee (homegrown and deafened by a baying home crowd) is able to have a non-emotional perspective.

If the context of their comment was 'this was for a shot at undisputed' then yes. That consideration is completely irrelevant to a referee's decision in the moment.

First of all, you misquoted me. Second I was giving context to the backlash, not whether that aspect would or wouldn't influence a referee. And third, you're being disingenuous if you don't think that referees a) are not swayed by the home crowd cheering on the A-side fighter b) don't measure headliners differently (rightly or wrongly) to down-the-bill fights as regards when to step in. While Parker had been hurt, at no stage was he in no position to defend himself, or taking unnecessary punishment.
