The Lucas Matthysse versus Vivian Harris fight is one of the most

Durable, lmao. I have not seen him takes shots on the regular for me to say he has a durable chin. Zab connected, but Matthysse smartly rolled with the punch which took some of the power from the punch.Comment

and yet you talk all of the time about how easy to hit he is?Comment

Worst stoppage ever: Antonio Cervantes (Kid Pambelé) vs. Carlos María Giménez, Jr WW world championship, in Maracaibo, 25th June 1977. Giménez was beating Pambelé up but had a small cut and the ref stopped the fight between rounds. After the stoppage, the Argentinian promoter Tito Lectoure (who owned the Luna Park of Buenos Aires) fights the ref !! It's in black and white, guys, just for hardcore fans. I tried to embed the video starting shortly before the stoppage but it doesn't work. Look at the 15 minutes starting point.

Geez everyone is skating around the issue, I will come out and say it.
That fight was stopped the first sign of Harris getting hurt, not to protect Harris, but to protect Matthysse and his eye issue.
This stuff happens all the time when someone is brought in as an opponent and the showcase fighter suffers an injury. We see it all the time. This sport is not much about honesty. It is about oiling the gears.
Matthysse probably would have won anyway as Harris was gassing, but the ref still stole the opportunity from Harris to continue to work on that eye, which is cheap.Comment
