Do American Referees no longer use KDs or standing 8s?

a whole minute?

Jeff horn was eating way bigger shots for way longer than a minute and his face was a pummeled bloody mess...

sshhh dont tell them boxing is a combat sport where fighters can get hurt

Yes it was an early stoppage. McGregor wouldn't have lasted the round though. I wanted to see him KO'd properly.

I have them on block. But sure, let's talk about Jeff "The Hornet" Horn since clearly neither of you watched that fight.

Manny only did damage to Horn in ONE round - Round 9, ironically. Jeff was still on the defensive. Manny wasn't able to land consecutive shots.

Ref goes to the corner mid round. "Show me something or I'm gonna STOP IT!"

Round 10: All The Hornet. Manny did nothing. Horn went to work.


Compare to MayGregor.

Floyd wobbled McGregor in Round 9 (ironically). We don't know what the ref said to McGregor in the corner. Might have been something like, "Show me something or I'm gonna STOP IT!"

Round 10 was all Money Mayweather. McGregor didn't show something. Got stopped.



You need to stop trying to compare when you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Done.

[moltres.]

there were 2 minutes remaining in the round. connor was done but still, yeah, standing 8 would be better. a kneeguel, fighters seem too proud for an optionary kneeguel to get there bearings.

in both fights, the stakes were high, people talked crap, but would of rather been out on there back.

How do you know this? Can you see the future?

Its kind of like Calzaghe vs ManFredo Jr. We all knew Joe would destroy him despite the early stoppage. Did you have a problem with that stoppage? Thought so!

Depends on the fight, corruption is involved for sure. All these sissies defending some terrible early stoppages only do it when it favors their fighter. It's definitely becoming a trend for fights to end without even a KD.
