    Yes, Morrison wasn't landing a whole lot at the end and I think Tommy was completely gassed.

    It could've been stopped after the left hook, but poor Ron folded under pressure and stopped it at a point that made zero sense in a fight Tommy was probably going to lose.

    I totally agree / ruddock was gonna stop a spent Morrison the very next rd !!!! Ruddock wasn’t even hurt anymore after that viscous knockdown !!! And he was back on his feet within 3 seconds after being put down !!! Ruddocks head got snapped by a measly jab and Lipton stops it like an idiot !!!!’ Then again ruddock deserved to loose for coming into the fight in horrible shape ( looked bloated as hell ) and came into this fight inactive 1 fight in 31 months … but Lipton did a horrid job … stopped too soon or not guys ?

    The problem was Ruddock wasn't throwing anything back, the fight probably should've been stopped after the amazing left hook knockdown.

    All in all Ruddock only has himself to blame, because he simply was not showing the referee that he was fighting back.

    Stopped a tad early, but Ruddock wasn't punching back and his head was snapped back by one of the final punches even if some missed. The idea he'd have come back to stop Morrison is far fetched.
