Premature stoppage?

I'll have some of what your on..... 95% of fighters that get stopped TRY and get up, don't mean they are ok to carry on ..

 

Povetkin was completely gassed and could't continue

 

You can't be this stupid, man. Fight should have been over after first KD. Some brain damage could have been avoided.

 

Especially given the fact that Povetkin spent a good portion of the count hanging over the middle strands after attempting to pull himself up off his ass.

 

Idiot thread

 

Stoppage was correct. Povetkin didn't have anything left, he wasn't throwing much anymore and was going to be badly murdered.

 

It was his coach who was pulling him down, preventing him from getting up.

 

Yeah, I saw that on a replay. In that case, he should have been DQ'd on the spot for getting assistance from his corner. They're not supposed to make any contact with the fighter during the round.

 

This

 

Definitely a legitimate and correct stoppage. Even if allowed to continue I am not sure he would have made it to his feet to beat a count, his expression said it all.. his brain was scrambled. And IF I am wrong on that and he did somehow make it to his feet.. there wasn't time enough in the round to have survived another onslaught.

You really have to be wearing the biased glasses to see it any other way.

 

lol come on Infern0121 bro... povetkin was very hurt! He ate three kitchen sinks with those flurries from Joshua...

Even if he did get up again, he would have gone down again even worse... health is important man.

He's own trainer was trying to stop it at the end.

 

Had a feeling the potential was there for a premature stoppage tonight... but (thankfully) it failed to materialize.

Tonight's stoppage was good. Povetkin was clearly finished and his corner had also seen enough.
