Ford vs Kholmatov Stoppage

Yes

 

Being that it was the first knockdown, I think there should have been a count. Now, if the first fall was counted as a knockdown and he was driven into the ropes like he was, then I would be fine with it being stopped.

 

Bad stoppage. Should have been given a count.

 

Good stoppage, he was looking like a bobble head and ran across the ring.

 

Do I agree? Yes.

1 punch can change a mans/women's life.......possibly even end it.

The dude turned his back while running to the nearest corner and there was 10 seconds left before the ref stopped it. Doesn't matter to me whether Kholmatov would've won, he did himself no favours there at all.

 

If the fight deserves to be stopped, it deserves to be stopped regardless of how much time is left.

I just didn't agree with this particular stoppage.

 

It was the only way the corrupt Americans could give their boy a win.

 

You turn your back the fight is over............................

 

Tough break for Bruce Lee.
But, if he didn’t want it stopped
He shouldn’t have got caught.

that’s the chance you take when you are a crowd pleaser as opposed to a safety 1st guy sticking your tongue out & running around the ring to secure the victory.

You just never know.
I’m glad he is a crowd pleaser but it sucks to be him right now.

 

Kholmatov had his back turned in the corner getting punched. It was a fine stoppage

 

Nah it's BS. Looked like the guy was off balance to me and he'd been giving his opponent all he could handle for much of the round. The ref was looking for an excuse to stop the fight. If it came out that he'd been slipped a brown envelope under the table I'd not be surprised at all. This is as bad as the ref that stopped Lerena after he was getting hit with combos after the bell ffs.

 

On first viewing thought it was a good stoppage, not so sure after watching replays.However the referee has not got that previlige so yes
