    Why is it still common practice for a ref to grab the boxer, who is about to get brain damage? Instead of the fighter who is throwing the final crushing blow in a fight? :huh

    Seen a few bad ones lately

    Froch's personal criminal referee saved him for a loss.

    Cole saved Broner from getting knocked out....

    because the fighter is usually in the twilight zone at that point and may not respond to verbal commands.

    The boxer who is hurt could fall or try and walk and trip or something, the red holds him here until a stool is available if hes badly hurt

    Think the refs are meant to dive in front of the fighters to stop it not like how Smoger did against Kirkland and let him get a free shot
