    A referee is there to prevent fighters from taking unnesasary punishment.

    The one time a ref didn't do their job was in the Lacy fight, which should have been stopped because lacy took lasting and unnesasary punishment.

    Before the fight Lacy was "too slick, too black" he was "P4P material" and would "expose the eurobum calzaghe" he was a "real american" and would bring that title back to the good ol' USA, wearing the red white and blue

    After the fight Lacy became a bum, a fraud, he was never any good.

    And the psyche of the american fight fan became so shattered after watching their great ope get taken to school, that they from that day forth would become obsessed with proving that joe wasn't very good.

        Who needs knockout power when you have humping skills like this?

                Still creaming over that Diggz? What else you got in the last 10 years?? How do you feel about the youtube "stoppages" video. Shamefully disgraceful.

                  That's what happens when any prospect fights a journeyman in any country... surprised people think this is a new thing.

                    A good stoppage has to take a lot of factors into account.

                    Most of joes were one sided beat downs that were stopped because the end was inevitable.

                    You don't necessarily have to be badly hurt for it too be a good stoppage.

                      LOL GOAT kind of post. I totally agree, from that point on, all I heard from most American fans (some are ok) is how **** Calzaghe was/is/will be/has always been.
