    I don't want another pissing match about the fight with Lee/Vera. My question is can anyone tell me another fight that was stopped after a guy had just popped his opponent, was standing (not off balance) in the center of the ring?

    Yes Lee was winning on the cards, I thought was premature, but it's a loss-I would just like to know if anyone else has seen a stoppage in this manner.

    Yeah, that's what I have never seen in 12 years of watching boxing! Very strange.

    Well it's good to see there were worse stoppages, Andy was going to be stopped anyway, and that's coming from a fan of his. That being said it was simply bad timing on the part of the ref to stop in after a clean, on balanced punch was landed by Lee.

    i don't know much about being a referee but perhaps they see something that the tv audience doesn't..(perhaps the eyes were already giving signs?)

    Wayne Braithwaite was doing pretty well when they stopped the Guillermo Jones fight.

    Mora/Termelakstation was a much worse stoppage than Lee/Vera. Archak was in the corner but he was firing back and most of Mora's weak ass punches were missing. Afterward Shark Attack was so pissed I thought he was going to beat the refs ass.

    Lee was getting hammered. I guess you guys would have him be beat to death before someone stopped the fight. i bet that Steward was about to stop the fight himself.

    Lee was losing years of his career in that round, it was better to have just taken the loss than to take another beating like that, it wasnt like a world title was on the line.

    Yeah, he's been the victim of a few bad stoppages. He was on the ropes though, but he was firing back.

    If you notice, the ref was told to stop the fight by some guy sitting at ringside. I don't know who he is, but about 10 seconds before he stopped the fight, he looked at ringside and this guy told him to stop the fight. Anyone else catch this?
