Anyone think the Byrd-Ibeabuchi stoppage was a bad call?

Anytime you get hit with a thunderous uppercut, get up wobbling and drooling and then arguing the knockdown, I mean this dudeBird got hit so hard he thought he slipped, he was losing the fight anyway, has no power and also went down from a glancing blow, had it went on he would have just been in survival mode, **** him...

 

He was dodging punches after the second knockdown. And then for some reason he started walking towards his right while talking to the ref and Ike kept throwing punches while Byrd was complaining to the ref instead of fighting.

 

No, he was gone. If the ref had let it go any further Byrd would probably hit the deck again. He suffered a heavy knock down, was drooling all over the shop, and seemed unsteady on his legs - he was also still getting tagged. He was a young guy so why let him endure an unecessary amount of punishment when for all intents and purposes he was going to lose.

 

Nope. Legit stoppage, and right call.

 

Prob right!

 

My friend, Byrd was drooling.

From that point on the fight, and his career was over, Byrd could do nothing but fight and defeat eastern euro bums like Vitali Klitschko before moving back down in weight and suffering anorexia.

 

Had Byrd continued, Ike would have melted him with his laser nipples or the balls of fire he can produce from his hands when he brings them together and says the magical words.

 

David Tua is an Eastern European bum? Tell me more, I'm curious as to how this came about. Was his mother a gypsy? I knew it..knew it all along.

 

good stoppage........... ruddock/morrison horrid stoppage

 

This, the ref was looking at the full sequence of events. the 2nd knockdown, Ike only hit him in the arm and he was spralled out. I'm
a big Byrd fan, that fight was over.
