Comments Thread For: Photos: Adonis Stevenson Demolishes Dawson in One

Bradley didn't go down and he was punching back - and the referee was waiting to stop it, just Provodnikov couldn't quite seal it.

Berto went down but wasn't dropped anywhere near as hard. He got up, spoke clearly to the referee, held his gloves up and looked fine to continue.

Dawson looked like he'd been electrocuted. He was all stiff, unable to speak properly, unable to lift his gloves up. I was impressed he stood up in that state to be honest - but you could see that was an almighty effort.

Exactly. If it would've continued it would've been over 3 seconds later when Stevenson landed his first punch. It was a good stoppage and a hell of a punch.

I always like to give the champ a chance to continue but Dawson was done. He couldn't even stand up straight without falling back towards the ropes. He couldn't bring his gloves all the way up. Plus you could see it in his eyes. If the ref lets the fight continue, Dawson probably leaves on a stretcher.
