Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostSince when is a professional championship fight stopped because a fighter is “out of his league”? I agree that Jeff lost every round and wasn’t likely to land a KO punch, but he was still with it when the ref stepped in. I repeat what I said earlier, Byrd appeared a little too eager to stop the fight. It’s not something I often notice, but the ref seemed to me a little partial to Crawford. Not that it would’ve made a difference. Terrance is far superior to Horn.

Originally posted by McNulty View PostThat's the first I've seen of the fight and it definitely looks premature.
You don't think that was a premature stoppage?
You have to give it a watch. Crawford was lighting Jeff up and Horn had no response ; it was only going to get worse -- I don't even think Jeep Horn has one-punch KO power to change the fight.Last edited by 1hourRun; 06-10-2018, 02:20 PM.

Horn stood very little chance in his bout with Crawford. His best course was to make it a brawl, and Byrd showed early on he wasn’t going to allow it. Then he eagerly stepped in and stopped the fight. The right man won, and would’ve won anyway — and perhaps Jeff was saved some damage — but that’s not the point. Fights are supposed to be officiated a certain way.
Pardon me if I’m being cynical here, but I don’t think the ref stopped the fight out of concern for Horn’s safety.

Originally posted by 1hourRun View PostI have no problem with it, Robert Byrd had a better look and heard the thuds of the punches better than us who where viewing the contest via stream ; Horn was getting hit too clean by the time of the stoppage : in round eight I remember Crawford landing a wicked body-head combo at the end leading into the ninth -- its clear hes was losing his balance and even getting bullied by the skinny, smaller man, that's a bad sign.

It was a good stoppage. Horn was not returning fire and would have been badly hurt. He did not win even 1 minute of any round and had no chance of surviving, let alone winning when the fight was stopped. But he did have a very big chance of being brain damaged if the ref would have let Bud continue tee off on him.
