    Watching this in quick time i thought Quartey was pretty close to being stopped , after watching the replays it became a bit more clearer that Quartey still had his senses but other referee's may of stopped it IMO !!!!

    Many would have, the ref was watching closely. At first DLH was missing his shots and Quartey was throwing back. I might have stopped it if I was ref when I saw them start landing and Quartey's head snapping back. The ref knew what he was doing in hindsight, but then again someone can get hurt like that.

    I don't think so but understand if it did. Quartey was still throwing back so it's not like he turtle'd up.

    Great decision not to stop it. They were fighting. DLH was def going for the kill but Quartey was fighting back and eventually remained stability in the fight, no reason why it should have been stopped. Possibly if DLH was hitting him harder, but Quartey stood his ground. Good job by the referee.

    I agreed with the referee and I'm sick of watching modern referees stopping fights after a fighter is barely stunned.
    Quartey was hurt and taking punishment but was still fighting back and the ref did his job well watching the action close.

    Oscar needed a knockout in round 12 to win that fight in my opinion. He didnt do **** from the round he got knocked down in untill the last round.

    Cleary not because Quartey managed to finish the fight with his senses in tact. He was hurt, but defintely not out.

    The fact that Quartey was able to finish the fight gives you your answer.

    No.

    Quartey was getting hit but he wasn't hurt badly and some shots were missing.

    The ref did have a close look.
