Controversial stoppages you thought should've been stopped sooner?

Michael Dokes vs Razor Ruddock for sure.

 

Foreman vs Lyle.

It looked like the referee didn’t think it was right to step in as long as Lyle still had a pulse.

 

Jesus Chavez-Leavander Johnson.

 

Morrison getting destroyed by Mercer - should have been stopped about 15 punches earlier if that's what you mean.

That was one incompetent referee. Up until the very last second it didn't even look like there was a referee in the ring.

 

And where was his corner? Can't imagine watching on as a guy I trained took that kind of punishment.

 

Apparently the same referee's written a book about how pro boxing can be saved and improved.

Here's another where the ref seemed about 20 punches late in stopping it (time stamped)

Ali vs Holmes. Angelo Dundee should have realized by about the 8th that his man was done.

 

Not sure. Yeah Meldrick was in bad shape but there was already enough controversy with it being stopped when it was. Exactly two more seconds and boxing history would look very different today

 

Johansson v Machen
Johansson v Patterson 1

Watched it at the time, i agreed Thomas Hearns v Dennis Andries should have been stopped in the 6th round.

Hiroki Ioka vs Napa Kiatwanchai III
