    I watched the video tape on the foxsports website. The fight was stopped to early. No question. These are professionals, i've seen thousand worse knockdowns than this one, and the fights were allowed to continue. Bad decision.

      If you have seen that many knockdowns then you know Moorer would have sent him right back down with the very next punch, Jirov was out on his feet. Good stoppage by the Ref, and Jirov will live to fight another day....

          Jirov didn't seem to complain about the stoppage. At first I thought it was early but he was clearly out of it. Looking at the replays his leg seemed to slightly give out again maybe that's what made the ref stop the fight.

            After that performance, I cannot say that Michael Moorer is back because the truth of the matter is he was being beaten until that point by a cruiserweight and beaten soundly at that.

              Jirov isn't a heavyweight..
              Michael Moorer tamed the tiger.

                i sgree 100%. jirov didn't walk straight to him. thats exactly why they walk to them. to see if they can walk straight. jirov didn't hence the stoppage.

                  I just saw the clip. This was a premature stoppage. The fight could have went on.

                    Jirov could barely standup straight and you could tell right when he got up he was still out. If the ref let the fight continue it would have only lasted one more punch.

                      Jirov himself said he wasn't mad at the referee's decision to stop the fight.
