Ref/Billy Graham should have stopped this imo after this round.
Macklin is clearly in trouble and went down heavily in the 10th.

Dunno mate, I'd need to rewatch it but I recall Macklin dishing a few out as well...

Macklin looks in bad shape and does come back with a little burst but is stumbling about like a new born horse.

It's a fine line mate

I've seen Billy with his fighters and despite what some people might think, he'd never let his ego get in the way of his judgement. If he didn't pull Macklin out he must of been confident he still had a chance...

He strikes me as a sadist

Nah, he's close the Macklin and the Hattons. To be honest I think he's looking towards his retirement now. He's talking about buying property in Atlanta and not training anyone else. I think he's fulfilled his ambitions and is past trying to make a name for himself.

Also, training Ricky Hatton is hard graft. He has to have injections and all sorts after the bodybelt sesh..
