    if he was fine he woulda had eye contact with the ref and put his hands up. he did nothing to show the ref he wanted to continue.

    Early stoppages is seriously hurting the image of boxing. As low skill as MMA is at least they let their fighters go out on their shield.

    i dont understand how anybody thinks that was a bad stoppage. Blame the fighter for not following standard protocal. guy was acting like a hurt fighter from all my knowledge. Guys hurt doesnt even know where hes at or what hes doing.......ya send him back out there to take unecessary shots. people are out there.

    anybdy thinks thats a bad stoppage, explain why? Anybody whos fought knows protocal after a knockdown and nobody whos ok to continue gets up turns his back and walks away from the ref. sorry.

    This is why I hate other sports letting gambling operations get so deeply involved. Boxing has always had the gambling element (like horse racing) and has always had the shadiness element (like horse racing).

    MLB has all time greats serving lifetime bans for betting on baseball and also has an official betting on baseball sponsor of every game. The hypocrisy is too much.

    Now that I've seen it (missed it live) it's borderline to me, but far from a truly terrible stoppage.

    What I don't like:

    1. There's this long hesitation, the ref needs to be decisive.
    2. The fighter and corner seem legitimately surprised, what was said before the fight?

    Shouldn't a ref with that amount of experience have decided what he's going to do before this pretty expected situation comes up? Combine that with it just causing the under to hit and it looks bad even if the decision is defensible.

    I've seen way worse. A lot of you guys just hate PBC fighters and want to complain

    Too early. Barthelemys legs didnt look too good but he look good enough to keep fighting.
