    Howard Foster prematurely stopped Froch - Groves 1. What was the lizard people's agenda on that occasion?

        froch was the bigger star obviously and he saw an opportunity to give him a win. literally the same thing as wardley-parker and more evidence in my favor. thank you for steelmanning

          you really think thats what happened? we can go back in this referee's career and find times before the parker fight where he let certain fighters take huge beatings and others where he jumps in instantly so he changed the way he officiated in the parker fight and then changed it again after it? thats crazy bad luck for parker.
          Perhaps he’s changed his views on stoppages after all the pressure of being told he stops them
          early? Or perhaps Wardley and his trainer warned him not to get back to his early stoppage habits.
          Either way, the guy can’t win. Each fight should be stopped based in its own situations- and doctors were ringside and could’ve had a voice

              If there weren't so may "rest breaks" that the ref gave to Wardley I wouldn't look quite as shady as it did allowing Wardley to get almost pummeled to an unconscious pulp. Something was "off" with that ref.

                Wardley is known for being an incredibly hard bastard who can come back from beatings and stop his opponents, it's literally his signature.

                Parker... Isn't

                Parker was laying on the ropes trying to survive, to me, that's a loss, when you get to that point where all you are doing is trying to see the final bell, you aren't fighting and that's the time for you to get stopped.

                It's called fighting, not surviving.

                  Parker was moving and returning a couple of shots. He was indeed hurt, slow, wobbled, but reacted adequately. Wardley was surviving on the ropes for most of the last 4 rounds, more exhausted. So one was stopped immediately, the other was given 4 rounds, being in worse condition.

                    The ref didn't do Wardley any favour with that.

                    It was sad seeing Wardley out of his feet since 6th or 7th round.

                    Maybe the ref desperately tried to give Wardley a chance to win, but man, that was dangerous.

                      I think because Fabio has a reputation of coming back from being outpointed? But so does Parker have a history of getting off of floor and hanging in there.
                      problem is Fabio future career maybe shortened, or maybe Fabio doesn't believe it will be, as it's only a one off beating
