    There is a 'British' Stoppage and then there are good stoppages that happen in Britain. This was 100% the latter

    No, Where did I say it wasn't a good stoppage. Argument is whether he was knocked out on feet or refusing to go down. If you are going to step into a conversation at least get it right.

    Nope, not even me. And I question ALL premature stoppages. This was not that

    Refusing to go down and being unable to go down because you're unconscious to the point that you are not in control of your body are two different things.

    That's why they phrase "out on his feet" exists.

    He was out.

    Props to the ref also - Howard Foster or whatever other dumb ass paid for ref might have stopped that at the end of the 9th, robbing Morrell of an opportunity to come back and Chelli the decisive win. Now we get a genuine great rocky story.

    He actually gave Morell a chance, British stoppage would have stopped it the previous round

    As a fellow Sheffielder, I'm pulling for Cameron - should be a good fight.

    Well, regardless of any speculation over Morrell's exact condition, two things are undeniable: there were a good 30 seconds left in the round ... and Morrell wasn't successfully (if at all) defending himself from Chelli's barrage.

    Definitely a proper stoppage IMHO.
