after watching several times it seems to me simon was up at nine and in good shape. so why did the ref stop it?
In good shape? He had been a punching bag for 5 rounds and was knocked down with the very first punch Louis threw in the 6th.
i realize that but he wasnt close to being kod when the ref stopped it. ive seen a lot of fighters take way more punishment than that ask jake lamotta how many beatings he took and it wasnt stopped.
