Fights getting Stopped to Early by the referee

I thought Tyson -v- Ruddock 1 was stopped too early.

OK, Ruddock was never going to win, but when it was stopped, he wasn't out on his feet & had actually been relatively competitive up to that point.

That was Richard Steel who was criticised for stopping the Chavez v Taylor fight too. Remember the Ring headline “Did Richard Steal my fight” (or something like that).
