Boxing Needs More Refs like Jack Reiss

There has got to be a balance or rather a compromise here, no? On one end of the spectrum there is fight to completion where one man borderline legally murders the other. And on the other hand, we have the pussification of the sport.

 

Butler was clearly out of it. No way for him to recover.

 

Smoger was always good at letting fights go...but Resiss got that one wrong for me.
After the 2nd knock down there was no way back. Butler had taken around 20 shots since he was first put down, thrown nothing back and was on bambi legs.

The only thing I can think off was that his were clear. When he got knocked down the 2nd time he seemed more frustrated than anything - his legs just weren't obeying him even so I think that was a late stoppage.
