Boxers showing mercy

on the flip side of the Punching on the way down thread

have you seen any fights where a boxer has stopped punching without the refs involvement, perhaps when he knows his man is hurt

im sure the finish to the second Judah v Spinks fight, judah asked the ref to stop it because spinks was hurt?

Foreman in his comeback asked the ref to stop a fight for the health of his opponent.

Roy Jones Jr I think vs Paz....he tried to get the ref to stop it but he had to bust Paz's ass up to finally have it stopped.

Roy Jones quite regularly used to stop and ask the ref to come in to try and avoid serious injury. It is believed that this was due to the injuries Gerald Mclellan received.




Look around the 2:40 mark. This is just one of the examples of Jones showing mercy. Not just a great fighter!

Rogan v sexton. Rogan was to much of a gentleman to finish the job after sexton cheated and pointed to the referee, as if the ref was going to stop it. Rogans fault in the end for not finishing him however.

I think cotto went easy on foreman in their fight recently towards the end, especially after yuri's knee gave in.

This was the one that sprang to mind for me, Rogan should have laid him out when he had the chance.

Sexton did look on the verge of brain damage at times though, he couldn't even get his gloves up.
