If i was a referee, people like him would really **** me off; ok, he wanted to carry on, but if you gets badly hurt, its the ref who gets the blame. A boxers a warrior if he fights to the the bitter end, the ref isnt.Nobody says what heart and courage the ref had for letting it continue. Damned if i would risk my reputation and be stigmatised as a terriible referee because some outclassed dude wants to continue try and be the big never say die gladiato whilst he gets beaten to ****..
felt sorry for the kid - didnt get a chance to box, and yes any pro boxer deserves respect for getting in the ring. Hope he doesnt quit.
+1 nah he shouldnt retire. he has tons of time ahead. if he gets to a conteder level again a champ might pick him due to that loss...blessing in disguise maybe.
