WTF? Terrible Stoppage

If the fight went another round, Lee would be in a coma. He was getting rocked

 

good stoppage. lee was getting hit flush. vera was obviously the stronger fighter. no need to let lee get really hurt

 

While it was a horrible stoppage at that moment, the ref did Lee a big favor.

People will look on it as, yea, it was a loss, but, it will be recognized as a bad stoppage
He was in serious danger of taking a lot more punishment before he went down. Punishment that could affect him in the future.

So, he took a lot less punishment than he would have, a lot of people will not recognize it as a loss and he'll get a decent payday for a rematch against a guy he should be able to beat relatively easily.

But, for the love of God, would Steward or someone teach him how to tie up?

 

steward taught kiltschko.....?

 

Pro Refs are acting like Amatuer boxing refs lately, one cleand punch and they freakout

 

edit

 

I've tried making that point. Deaf ears.... But really, what better indication is there when the fighter doesn't put up much of a protest?

 

Heart was the only thing keeping him up. New front page article from ringside. Guy claims he could see Lee's eyes rolled back from there and the ref was much closer.

Read "Boom Boom" Mancin's account of his fight with Duk Koo Kim. Everytime Ray thought he had done enough to get the fight stopped, Kim would muster up an answer and the ref let it go on. We know how that turned out. NO reason to let Lee take any more damage. Do you really think Lee could have found an answer to change the outcome?

 

That fight happened exactly as Manny thought it would.:smoke

 

You got that right he's a disgrace to the sport.

This was a shitty stoppageatsch Refs are stopping fight's way to soon these day's:-( makes look like the fight was fixed, and suspicious, either way you don't stop a ****ing fight when a fighter is still throwing punches>>:huh

 

The stoppage was maybe abit early but Lee was becoming Veras *****
If anything the stoppage kept us from viewing a brutal KO with Lee on the canvas
I wonder what all the hardcore mick fans think now...Duddy is out and Lee is definitly out
they should fight each other
