    Why do you need to start a new thread for this **** when there is an RBR, in addition to all the other threads you've started about the same card?

    If you trust this guy with your sandwich then fair enough, that's your look out. I strongly suspect he has below average sandwich making skills though so I would urge you to keep your wits about you here.

    Surely the fact that Towers came back to get the win suggests the ref had it right?

    no because Towers should have been stopped but wasn't later Toney injured his elbow and had to quit.

    It's not just that the ref didn't stop Towers it was that he wasn't calling knockdowns, was separating them for no legitimate reason especially when toney was pounding him in order to give towers a rest, the ref was doing nearly everything in order to let Towers win

    absolute disgrace

    as bad refereeing as the scoring was for Pac v Bradley

    the sport is so corrupt flipping disgrace

    How do you figure that out?

    He wasn't fit to continue and the ref let it keep going, giving Towers space and time to recover. If he needed time to recover, give him a count. If he still needs more time, he should b stopped.

    If you gave every hurt fighter second chances then we'd never see someone stopped on their feet.

    Don't get me wrong. Any moron (you) could see that the ref was ****. But I just don't think towers was in the position to be stopped.

    Tony wanted out of that fight from the start of round 8 at least. How many times did the guy go down pretty much asking for the stoppage. That and the corner throwing in the towel.
