Premature stoppages where the loser would have still lost had they not been premature.

    That post-fight interview is the funniest thing ever, I think it was premature, yes, but blud was holding for his life, Leonard would have finished him despite being rusty, most likely already fully immersed in da' booze, da coke and da' hooahs during that stage of his career.

    I mean, he beat up the count, yet that version of Oliver was sharp and Lennox was already messed up by counters in the first round. Wish this McCall presented himself in tha rematch despite still picturin him losin'...

    Froch vs Groves 1. It was a dreadful stoppage, but I think the tide had turned and Froch's strengths in stamina and durability where George's weaknesses.

    The momentum swing was only going to continue. I felt the ref robbed Froch of what would likely have been a legitimate stoppage around 2 or 3 rounds later.
