This is the problem with refs! They overstep their job!

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

he stopped it cause of HIS OWN PERSONAL OPINIONS OF IF THE FIGHTER CAN WIN, not cause the fighter was hurt or for his safety. He Stopped it cause he thought the fighter cant win and the fighter had enough NOT CAUSE OF THE FIGHTER WAS HURT OR IN DANGER but he stopped it cause of his own BELIEF about what the fighter can achieve.

AND I QUOTE "YOU WERE GETTING BEAT EVERY ROUND"


He has no right to make that decision, he decision to stop a fight SHOULD NEVER BE BASED IF THE FIGHTER IS WINNING OR NOT!

pretty soon refs will stop the fight before it even begins. i thought you were going to get beat up every round!

No, I think whether or not a fighter is hopelessly behind or in a position to win is a valid factor. For instance, the fact that Fury was probably winning when he got knocked down and almost out in the 12th was a valid consideration for letting the fight go on.

[Damn Wicked]

If the ref wanted to stop the fight he should have asked the fighter. The guy wasn't hurt and there was 30 damn seconds remaining in the fight. He would have survived almost certainly. He was still quick with his legs. He didn't deserve to have a TKO loss on his record. This didn't seem like a fight that had to be stopped. That was a really strange stoppage.
