Fights like that make you question when a trainer, or ref/doctor should stop a fight.
You have a fight that is very one-sided, but at the same time, the opponent isn't getting completely dominated in every round, and even has moments of his own, even if few and far between.
Because that is brain damage time - when a fighter's mind is tougher than his body, and he takes consistent, constant punishment from a boxer with heavy-hands over 10-12 rounds.
It's not the one shot'n'drop KO's that cause serious brain trauma; it is eating numerous hard shots over a prolonged period of time.
I don't really have a good answer to this question - because I can literally see all sides of the argument.
Just something to ponder.
I agree. If it was not on the cinco de mayo chaves-cenelo under card it prob would have been stopped. Total pride move

It really is a balancing act between letting a continue to compete and being concerned for his health. Not an enviable position to be in
