Usually we down refs for bad stoppages.
Got to give props to Steve Smoger: Kirkland vs Tapia.
Good stoppage.
He also knew Jermaine Taylor was done against Pavlik.
Smoger is one of the last referee to give a fighter every chance.
Wondering, are there some fights that was stopped rightly, no need to continue?
I think Richard Steele gets a rough call on early stoppages. :)

Taylor Chavez
Need i say more?
Some trainers have stopped prematurely or when need.
I know Paulie Malinaggi was pissed at Mcgirt for stopping the Hatton fighr. Good stoppage or bad?
Mcgirt good stoppage Gatti-PBF
Floyd's stoppage of Angel Manfredy was legit. El Diablo was clearly in trouble and didn't fight back for a long period of time.
Sometimes it's laughable when fighters throw a fit afterwards in protest...
Hopkins Echols 2
Yeah Antwon was still on his feet but Hop beat em across the ring, out the ring.
Twon looked dejected after that back alley prison shenk-fight.
Just a dirty fight that displayed Hopkins as a tremendously skilled fighter who knew how to bend, twist & ignore every rule in the book.
Echols corner looked pissed, while Antwon looked relieved.
Even more laughable when the corner protests but not the fighter aka Echols lolQuote:

Fight one was Damn good.
Fight 2 Hopkins boxes, brawls, does a phenominal acting job when he gets body slammed.
Oh yeah the highlights shown are the fouls.
Then hop boxes for near two rounds...with one arm.
Sweet.
Then, like a shao-lin monk he acts like he pulled the bad arm back into place.
Entertaining for those who think Hop has boring fights.
Good Stoppage
Preventing a fighter {who has no chance in winning} from further punishment.
There are quite a few good Referee's who get very little credit for making the right decision.
Smogers a good ref as long as Bernards not in the ring.
Good Referee's from 'Back-in-the-Day'
John Thomas ......... California
Tommy Reid .............. Pennsylvania

If Paxtom's mom had an abortion I would consider that a "good stoppage".
I like Smoger, he's very good and keeps fighter safety first but he does have a thang for Bernard. lolQuote:
