Pretty strange isn't it ?? with hindsight Tszyu couldn't of won on judges scorecards. But still his corner should of let him go out for the final round and at least let him go out on his shield thats a terrible way to end your career on the stool.
The reason Kt's trainer Johnny Lewis gave was that from looking at Kostya and talking to him in the corner he thought he was gone and had nothing else left. Lewis said he did it to prevent further damage.
Rumour has it the Tszyu had minor bruising on the brain(if brain bruising can be minor) so maybe it was the right call.

Also i dont think they knew it'd be his last fight at the time.
I didn't know Tszyu had brain bruising, well that has changed my opinion on the matter.
