[Russian Crushin]

I dont think its possible to throw a harder punch

watch again how the ref asked montiel about 3 or 4 times to walk to him after the knock down and montiel never does. Then the ref walks to montiel, lifts his gloves for him, wipes then, then allows montiel to take more punishment.

IMO that is terrible referring.

In fairness to the ref. He didn't see Montiel twitching on the floor and he was up before 10. Also he was the champ.

I'm amazed montiel got up from that punch.

I'm not even talking about the twitching though.

this textbook stuff, if the fighter doesn't come to you and is completely unresponsive like that you stop the fight.

Montiel was up and surprisingly was steady on his feet. I'm pretty sure there are other fights were fighters looked much worse. And again Referees I believe are always aware that the champ always be given chances to recover. It's a boxing rule.

Kevin Iole agrees with me and complained about it to Keith Kizer:

but, incredulously, referee Russell Mora let it continue. Montiel fell on his first attempt to get up and didn’t respond to Mora’s command to walk toward him when he did arise. However, Mora walked to Montiel, wiped his gloves and somehow saw fit to allow the bout to move on. Donaire landed two punches before Mora then jumped in.

The rule is if the fighter doesn't respond and does not walk towards the ref, the fight should be stopped. there is no rule that says if he's champ he gets to continue, it's about the safety and well being of the fighter.

WTF! was that Donaire almost ripped Montiel's head. Knockout of the year!!! who agrees with me?

steady on his feet? He basically fell over when he tried to get up, it took him 2 attempts
