There is no agenda. Robert Byrd would of stopped a classic like Castillo/Corrales because he had a hunch that Corrales was done after two spitting of the mouth pieces. No ref should ever intervene in a fight just because the hunch is a guy that gets knocked out is completely done. Jacobs wasn't done because he was screaming at the count of 4. Finished fighters don't yell well before the 10 count. That ref took Jacobs chance away, over a hunch.
I'm sick of the poor job of refereeing

That's not even comparable because at that time you can see if the fighters legs are there. Byrd didn't even allow Jacobs to stand and see how his body reacted from the few seconds he was iced.Comment

That's not a bad stoppage anyway you paint the picture.Comment

Pirog fights like an American though. Didn't you hear Emmanual rave about his love for Floyd and SRL? Hey I ain't taking anything away from the guy, it's just sad that we have refs taking things away from fighters because they have a hunch that when you get knocked out you automatically are out for longer than 10 seconds.Comment

Don't be re****. My two favorite fighters aren't even American. I do think the American style is king but I don't love every American fighter.Comment
