He should have at least had a count but O'Connor decided the fight was to be stopped at the start of the 12th round.
Not blaming Cardle, he didn't stop it, he didn't make the decision. I believe Cardle will get knocked out sooner rather than later after watching that.
I don't see why people think this is some sort of corrupt stoppage. Cardle was beating down on him, the guy never knew where he was when he collapsed face first into the ropes! Correct stoppage imo
Why are English adverts so bad? I mean ours aren't very good either, but these are cringe worthy bad.
It's strange how O'connor has so many strange stoppages to his name and yet he is still employed to be used time and time again. And this time, no count, no nothing just another stoppage.
That was a great fight. Felt sorry for Dodd but he was gone IMO. Correct Stoppage. Eddie will be rubbing his hands, talking about the rematch already
This is the same ref that carried Cleverly to his corner after getting knocked down three times in one round against Kovalev
Dodd should of had points taken off him by the ref for hitting cardle directly in the back of the skull full pelt and for continuous head-butts. Something people seem to conveniently forget when saying Dodd would of won on the scorecards.
Face first? Yeah Terry. That's how you saw his eyes and stopped it. Eyes on the back of his head.:good
