Wow...bad stoppage!!!

Speaking of that fight, do you think that was a bad stoppage? Because it was very similar to this one.

 

You have no idea about boxing as a sport. It was a perfectly fine stoppage within the rules of the sport. If you have a problem with that you should be watching another sport. Maybe not a sport actually, you don't seem to enjoy rules. Maybe just watch street fight videos, unconscious people being punched sounds like something you'd enjoy. Dumbass.

 

I wouldn't call it a bad stoppage. I would call it a disappointing stoppage. After seeing it a few times, the ref stopped Jacobs from taking years off of Quillen's life. He was glassy eyed, and unsteady when the ref waved it off. Jacobs was swinging for the fences. Letting it continue with Quillen on unsteady legs and in a daze could have gotten Quillen seriously hurt. Why chance it to give petty fans a few kicks. Jacobs isn't feather fisted.

 

He deserved an 8 count to give him a chance to clear his head, but the ref still might have needed to call it off after that. Quillin looked hurt bad and eight or ten seconds later, he probably just would have been knocked out cold.

8 counts are still used, but I'm not sure if this fight was sanctioned by one of the organizations that utilizes it in their rule book. The different bodies have different rules, like some have the three knockdown rule and some don't.

 

You just make yourself look more & more foolish every day. The referee is in there to make sure the fighter obey the rules PLUS he is in there to ensure the fighters safety. Quillin was out, he had no idea where he was. Had Harvey Dock not stopped that fight we could have been witnessing another tragedy in the ring
Its time you kept quiet until you've learned a little about this great sport. You open you big mouth & insert your foot every time:good:good

 

a few years off his life hella dramatic lol man i gotta get off this forum i dont think theres a lotta real dudes on here

 

If you have as much respect and knowledge of the sport then you KNOW that there are many examples of fights in boxing history where the figher was hurt way worse then that and came back and emerged victorious. Quillin was hurt doubtless and he might have been KDed or KOed, but maybe not, all the ref accomplished was proving he was a panicking blithering ref unfit for a championship bout
