Just watched that hereQuote:
Yes this was a stinker by the ref , but the worst performance i can think of by a ref is
Isaac Carrera , Thomas Hearns v Dennis Andries , he was a disgrace especially in the 6 th round , were i think he wanted Andries dead .
Definitely the worsted I have seen, where was the towel from the corner?

What about Gatti in the 9th against Ward, he still came back in the 10th but even I surprised it was not stopped, but thankfully it was not.
Yeah the ref had a bad night. I was just confirming Big H's query about the extra-time allowed for a fighter knocked through the ropes.Quote:

Last time I checked a fight was stopped when someone couldnt intelligently defend themselves.... Benns head was floating like a bobble head. Not to mention Benn was using his head like a Ram and rabbit punching ...Quote:

Benn was stuck on the ropes, they prevented him from falling, the fact he got up to carry-on probably makes that one of the "good" decisions the ref made that night.. although understandably with hindsight MOST would much rather be blaming the ref for a premature stoppage ;)
I think we can all name a few times in those fights where it could have been stopped and justifiably so...In those bouts they seemed superhuman...IMO during those bouts there was no one else in the game that could have went at it toe to toe like they did...It's like you can not describe what came over those two....same for the Rafael/Vazquez and Bowe/Holyfield bouts......it is a wonder none of them were hurt permanentlyQuote:

I was speaking of the fight themselves...Can't blame that on their fights against each other....Though it did not help....Holyfield was going to end up that way regardless...Just the style he had...took too many shots from too many big punchers....Quote:
