Comments Thread For: Gradovich Felt Bias From British Officials in Loss

[Humean]

I'm not a Dr, Are you?

Do you honestly believe that was a justified stoppage , especially considering what Mitchell's eye looked like the next fight

No i'm not, that is why i'm in no position to judge the stoppage. I am also in no position to judge whether Gradovich's cut was worse than Mitchell's cut.

The doc and the ref are both there to protect the fighters and spare them unnecessary damage but, given this was a 'world' title scrap, it should have been let go a bit further. That said, Gradovich is a very average fighter in a hot division and was being owned by Selby. A rematch would only confirm it

was a shady stoppage, and those saying it didnt matter cause he was losing he still had rounds to get it back, it aint over till its over.

I hate people who say oh but he was losing anyways GTFOH with that sissy lala way of thinking go watch another sport.

Mitchell had a second head sprouting from his eye, his eyelid was basically a gaping wound, and he had cuts over his other eye and nose.

Doesn't take much more than eyes to know Mitchell's damage was much worse than Gradovich.

Watched the fight last night The stoppage was a joke , The judges scores and commentating were biased as Fuc.

There was some home cooking as expected

Gradovich was behind but he's a slow starter and should have had at least 2 rounds and should have been allowed to continue, Not a cool way to lose your belt

He wasn't just behind, he was down by about 6-7 rounds and was hurt in the previous round. Gradovich either needed to win all of the remaining rounds or a KO to win.

The cut looked bad, I didn't get a good view of it after it was treated but it was in a bad spot.

I agree. Seems a lot of shady stuff has been happening on Hearn cards (Beltran-Burns is a good example).

The shadiest thing that happened in that one was Beltran allowed to take to the ring more than likely than not under the influence of performance enhancing drugs. He broke Burns's jaw and he had to have two titanium plates fitted, Arum then got the WBO to force him back into the ring early to fight Crawford.

It was actually the US judge that gave the fight to Burns.

If the BBB of C wasn't shady, they'd ban Ian John-Lewis from working as an official (ref or judge).

Wasn't he hired by the Russians the other week?
