Why can't referees finish the ten count!?!

[dYeyKob]

If the fighter is trying to get up, why not count him out or wait till he gets up and decide if he can continue?

Pisses me off when I see stoppages like Jacobs-Pirog fight and now mares fight where the referee stopped counting and held the fighter down.

Fighters train so hard not to deserve a ten count.

Sometimes there is no need to. This was one of those times.

He did give but thought the first time was enough health wise.

public education has failed them?

It's not like they can teleport him to the hospital in 10 seconds

Moving and falling over so soon after having their brains crash into their skulls can cause more damage.

RIGHT??? There should be a rule against that... If u start the count, (unless the guy is asleep e.g. Pacquiao/Williams/Hatton) u finish the count

It's fucking dumb

It's there for when referees know the full 10 seconds won't make a difference... It's pretty clear to see that in that Mares fight. You don't let Mares continue in that state, after taking huge bombs, landing awkwardly on his right leg, against a massive puncher in Gonzales. Sorry but whatever agenda these people have, who argue the ref did a bad job seemingly do not understand what a referee is there for.

In some cases they feel its appropriate to get the fighter medical attention immediately?

You could hear the ref tell Mares his eyes were rolled back in his head.

Let the refs do their job. They are trained professionals and are taught what to look for.

Ok, finish the 8 count, and if they don't pass the test (do u wanna continue, step toward me, etc) then u stop the fight... That's why they do that... Don't "1, 2, aww fuck it, counting is too hard" that's dumb
