Anyone else thin Bayless should have let the fight continue?

[-Kev-]

The ref is there to protect fighters, not let them continue getting beat up so they can develop some brain damage.

The Margarito-Pacquiao fight was good, because it was a cheater getting beat up. Katsidis is a good man and a brave fighter and deserves to fight another day.

It's 2010, we're no longer barbarians[outside of Margarito] and we shouldn't complain about stoppages like these anymore. Taking unanswered punches is no longer cool.

It was kind of quick but JMM did land like 20 straight hard blows on Katsidas and add into that the pace the fight was fought at I have no real issue with the stoppage.

Although I can understand why people would say it was kind of quick, but hey both men will get to fight another day I think that is a win for all involved.

uhhmmm no he stopped punching for like 1.5 minutes.. if he was still punching then yeah

Yeah, Kats was just standing there getting beat and not retaliating. That's when a ref is supposed to stop a fight, especially with someone like Katsidis who would not have gone down or admit defeat. It was a great time to stop it.

i say he shud have not stop it there was no reason. there are oher fights where fighters get beaten bad and they still let it go.

I think bayless was just protecting the fighter, it was pretty obvious katsidis was done and bayless just saved him of further punishment.

It really is that simple. I don't understand how it can be viewed any different.
