Well at the end of the day, Thaxton got punched in the face, if the ref had let it go on, who knows what could have happened? He might have ended up getting punched in the face again!! Couldn't have something like that happening. What could the ref do?
Fact is he was always going to take alot of punishment in this fight, and probably lose. If they care so much about seeing him get hurt they should never have sanctioned the bloody thing. They were put together because we all knew it would make a brutal fight.
Someone else who doesn't understand how points deductions work!!! Its a deduction, not a point for the opponent.
****ing work :-( I had to set off to work at 21:15 and just arrived into work 5 minutes ago. Now I didn't watch a single punch thrown throughout the fight. I just arrived into work to see the cornermen consoling Thaxton. It showed the reply straight away and I was thinking WHAT THE **** WAS THAT STOPPED FOR ??? I've seen it back and I still think the same thing. This wasn't a fight in which Thaxton was being constantly hurt from the highlights I saw. The punch that stumbled him back wasn't exactly a spiteful punch, it seemed a problem with his footing more than anything else, the other four shots, none of which touched him, didn't merit a stoppage. Felt sorry for him at the end when he was in his corner. As soon as I saw that look I knew straight away he'll retire. He was crying too. Rob McCracken made me laugh saying that Froch would start to take over later on Means he expects him to be getting outboxed Fury family getting another 'jobbing' :-( How did that ref not give that other lad 1 single round :-( Even my boss at work knew he'd been beat - Like he said though Fury's Dad probably opened his jacket to show the ref his shotgun before the fight
Joke that Fury punk just won a robbery. I felt he lost 38-37 but its OK if it dont happen tonight because very soon he will be exposed as he has nout by the looks of it and is just piggybacking off the Fury name.
