Comments Thread For: Granados: I Think The Referee Was a Little Over-Protective

[Scipio2009]

Danny Garcia vs Pacman, Spence vs Porter and Thurman vs Ugas are next!

Thurman vs Pacquiao at T-Mobile Arena (PPV), Spence vs Porter at JerryLand or Barclays (PPV), and Garcia vs Ugas at the Liacouras Center (FOX or Showtime).

He would have brain damage if the ref let it continue, Garcia was smashing his head in

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

I friggin hate when guys ball up for 30 seconds at a time, knowing they're trying to get the ref to stop the fight...and then get surprised or pretend to be surprised. Whenever it happens.

but thats not what granados did, he blocked when danny exploded into a flurry didnt even last 4 seconds.

Red jumped in way too early.

Granados was getting beat pillar to post and battered by Garcia's thudding power shots. He had been knocked down 3 times and he wasn't showing any signs of turning the fight around; also this wasn't a championship fight. So, the ref absolutely made the right call to halt the fight and should be applauded.

AND?..... so what its a fight.

You stop every fight when YOU think a fighter had enough than why even mkae the fight? everyone knew granados was 99% gonna lose when the fight got made. Youre only supposed to stop a fight when a fighter is in IMMEDIATE DANGER not cause you think he had enough/cause of what you think he can accomplis or not accomplish.

I've watched enough boxing in my time to know when a fight should be stopped - and usually I criticize refs for premature stoppages.

Garcia's punches were thudding and concussive because they were landing so flush and with so much power. When a fighter is getting hit with these kinds of shots, he is at risk for traumatic brain injury. Therefor this fight was appropriately stopped.


I'll also put this out - no boxing pundits (that I have seen) questioned this stoppage. So, the experts think it was a good stoppage and I think it was...now you should.

I wish that they would do this more often. Have the ringside physician do a quick mental check in between rounds. Simple sh#t like, “what are you doing right now?” “What’s your name?” “What year is it?”

This is essentially a concussion check. Some fighters will finish a fight with a concussion and in the fight, appear to be fine. If a fighters taking a severe amount of punishment, but is throwing back and defending okay, not going down, then I think this should be done more often. Kind of off topic, but I wanted to throw this idea out there. It should be more common place. Not saying in between every round or for every fight, but a fight like say, this one perhaps. A tough boxer who won’t go down and won’t quit is at a major risk of suffering a traumatic brain injury that could be detected early by doing this.
