Why wasn't Kirkland given the same chance JMM got vs. Pac??

[Michael Hall]

I finally got to see the Kirkland stoppage over the weekend and it was HORRIBLE.

Joe Cortez is still one of the worst refs I've ever seen.

There was no three knockdown rule and it was obvious Kirkland was ready and able to fight. He should have been given a chance.

I'll admit that Kirkland's defense is GOD AWFUL and he probably would have lost anyway, but the ref didnt give him a chance.

What if JMM werent given a chance after being down three times against Pacquiao???

Arturo Gatti has also been beaten to a pulp in the ring only to come back and win the fight by KO.

Kirkland was robbed of that opportunity and that is inexcusable. He was fighting a light punching foreigner. He should have been given the chance to continue instead of being forced back down to the canvas by Cortez's crotch.

[Larry the boss]

he went down hard the last time and got up on shakey legs..stop blaming the ****in ref for kirkland getting his ass kicked by a guy wit 7 kos

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Cos he's *****

[Russian Crushin]

Man Kirkland was really hurt and going down with every punch that touched his face

[bojangles1987]

He was still really shaky when the ref stopped it. Good stoppage.

[yuppie]

Accept he got beaten, be a good little fan boy and just support him in his next fight.

[onechance87]

with each knock down,It was getting worst.But i dont mind
if they let it go on.

[BuckToothed]

Because the Joe Cortez saved him from a humiliating 10-2 scorecard.

j/k

[ny123]

If Ishida was on the other side of those knockdowns would you be saying that was a horrible stoppage?

[Walt Liquor]

jmm perhaps got more aof a chance becuz he was a titlist in a unification fight...maybe?

eother way, joe cortez sucks period
