      As a Brit I will say.. we have far too many BS flurry like stoppages from refs..

      Boxing is a dangerous sport.. but boxers know that.. unless the guy is not fighting back or out on his feet unable to defend.. don't stop the ****ing fight.. let them be koed

      Same **** in the floyd vs McGregor fight.. are 2 more punches really gonna give the guy brain damage?

        I thought Joshua was eventually going to stop it, but Takam was still potshotting very well.

            That was a fair stoppage though. McGregor was literally out on his feet, unable to defend himself and not throwing back. It was a good stoppage. Letting it continue was only going to end up one way.

            Takam was competitive, he was in every round. He might have been losing but it wasn't one sided and both fighters were fading. At least give the man a chance.

                That was a good stoppage and it was Joshuas best performance

                    Honestly that stoppage is even worse on the replay. Takam was using some nice head movement and making Joshua miss bad lol.
