    Just shocking that the corner would throw in the towel with 10 secs left in the rd. Shocking

    Very true and that fact shouldn't get lost in the disagreements about the stoppage.

    Wood's post fight interview should start with "I don't agree with the decision of my former trainer Ben Davison"

    I'm calling it if I'm the ref, no need for the towel.

    Guys it was over. Wood just wasnt up for it. He was done. He was about to get a savage beatdown. He bashed Lara straight to the vital internal organs and Lara walked right through it. He couldnt win the fight.

    Ref should have ignored that towel. Let the fighters decide the outcome!!

    Yeah it does, when that fighter has proven he can come back from a tremendous amount of adversity in the past. All Wood need to do was shell up for 7 seconds, and who knows what would've happened the next round.

    Lara was poor, concrete feet and no defence, but one punch changed everything. He won't keep the belt for long.

    I wouldn’t have thrown the towel
    But it was clear that he was gone when he jumped up to his feet & did the qeer street skip & shuffle.

    Super cautious move on the towel but ultimately it’s smart.
    For wood in the long run.

    I think you're giving him too much credit here.
