    2 minutes 20 second in the round, ffs. Khan would have Khan'd him.
    Agreed. You don't let a fight like that "play itself out" as some say. There is no belt on the line. Letting it "play out" is how someone ends up in a wheel chair wearing a **** bag. Ref made the right call.

      People like a car crash I think. What was Lo Greco going to do for 2 minutes and 20 seconds?

      Lo Greco was not intelligently defending himself.

      100% he was getting knocked out cold.

        Yup. I like to see someone get flattened just as much as anyone else, but not when it's clear that one fighter is just flat out too much for the other to even dream of overcoming. I like to see it in a war, but not in an ambush.

          Remember when someone would get knocked down 3 or 4 time only to get smashed and counted out. There was contentment and closure.
          I been saying this for decades now. UK is shady as hell. If I was Wilder, I would stay the hell out of the UK.

          People like you are the real problem here. UK is an embarassment to the sport. Mockery!

            Then maybe you shouldn't have watched then. You knew what you were tuning into see so let's cut the shít homie. Everybody knew what this fight was about. It was about Khan looking good.

              You must be related to Einstein. Of course it was a Khan showcase. But that doesn't mean you disregard Phil Lo Greco's well being. That's ignorance at its finest.

                Ignorance pertaining to what exactly?

                Greco went three rounds of Spence bombing on him. Ref seemed fine then. Went 10 rounds with Porter too. Dude sucks but it's not like he's Reggie Strickland or something.

                  British referees are the fastest fight stopping referees in the world when an British favorite fights a foreigner.

                    stoppage was too early, i think, greco was ready for more

                    especially in headline fights, it makes no sense to wave the fight off after one proper knockdown (the first one was a flash knockdown, greco jumped straight back up). i understand safety but **** me, why do we see this TIME AND TIME AGAIN in the uk?? I've seen more savage amateur bouts
