worst stoppages?

[FinitoElDinamita]

i watched calazaghi v manfredo on that box nation the other day and that was a crap stoppage wasnt it?

i cant remember seeing a more premature stoppage

any others?

p.s. there may already be a thread like this, soz if there is

Not saying he ever had a chance but yea, Calzaghe/Manfredo was probably the biggest joke of a stoppage ive seen in the past 5 years. IT was downright criminal.

Kendall Holt/Torres in Columbia was horrible as well with beers flying everywhere and dudes grabbing Holt's leg and shit in the middle of action. lol It's like the ref was waiting for that perfect moment where he could stop the fight at the first sign of some bullshit flurry..

Khan - Barrera.

It was coincidentally stopped into the 5th round so Khan would get the win when it should of been stopped as soon as the cut occurred in the 1st round and been a no contest.

So an old and undersized Barrera had to go 5 rounds with one eye just so Khan could have a W on his record. Bullshit refereeing imo.

This title works both ways, worse stoppages as in way to late too,where the corner throws in or where the commentators are even saying come on Ref what are you doing!
Worse when someones out for way too long and the ref could of stopped it.

Agreed. Thats the worst decision Ive ever seen. Dave Paris should have been shot for that

Another bad stoppage was Thompson vs Nelson

Completely agree. I remember watching that fight on ppv and thinking the same thing. Fucking cunt move.

2 that come to mind were on the same card and that was Rahman vs Tua 1 and Mayweather vs Manfredy all in the same spot of the ring.
