Worst stoppage for a Heavyweight TITLE fight?

There was a lot of blood but the cut wasn't severe enough to stop the fight. They should have given the cutman a chance to close it and they should have given Vitali 2 more rounds to knock Charr the **** out. Everybody got robbed in this fight.

 

Had Charr made it to the 11th, I would be a rich man.

 

It was merely a flesh wound and Manny should have been allowed to continue. Manny's tactic of conserving energy and carrying Vitali for the first few rounds really cost him here.

 

TKO4, Deal with it. :rofl

See what I did there?

 

K2 are a disgrace.

 

It did not seem that bad and may have been a bad call but from what I remember about the cut it was in an extremely bad location. I'm not a physician but the man who suggested that the contest be stopped was a physician. I'm speculating that the location of the cut may have caused some serious damage to the eyelid. Like the cut was dead center of the top of the eyelid and had it increased little by little we could have seen Charr's eyelid dangling by a shred of skin.

On to a different aspect of the fight, I don't think Klitschko should have been given credit for scoring a knockdown vs Charr. To me it seemed like Charr went down from an illegal punch to the back of the head.

Regardless of the cut eyelid and the rabbit punch, I think the outcome would have ultimately been a Klitschko stoppage win. Klitschko was landing too many jabs and body punches too early. Charr may have won had Klitschko slipped on a banana peel but that was pretty much the only way he would win.

Klitschko did seem deteriorated to the point that David Haye can probably beat him at this point.

 

no reason not to give him until the end of the round and let the corner men work on it.terrible stoppage and if i was in the crowd i would have been booing to **** not cherring vatali and the corruption that is k2

 

I think the fight following Klitschko-Charr was actually a much worse stoppage. One guy took a hard punch he staggered back to the ropes and bowed forward while the eventually winner threw a flurry of wild punches that did little more than mess up the loser's hair but the ref jumped in and waved the fight over anyway. Too bad Smoger could not have referred all three fights, although in Klitschko's win it was really a doctor stoppage.

 

Had the boxing match been stopped like that in the Middle East, a revolution of anger would begin and the referee would be killed.

 

The worst stoppage in a heavyweight title fight was "Dokes-Weaver" of '82........ Joey Curtis should've been shot before leaving the arena that night....

MR.BILL

 

no, the worst was Cooper-Clay. Cooper had Clay ready to go but after serious of smelling salts and dirty tactics the fight was stopped a round later on "cuts".

 

No, the stoppage was OK. It did good to Charr who would have suffered much more if the referee had given a go. It was one sided affair all along. Charr should praise the physician who saved his career. Fighters who go only few rounds with Klitschkos can bounce back. Those who go the distance was doomed.
