Because there isnt such a thing. If you dont go down then its either a stoppage or not as far as I am aware. (doesnt change the fact the ref intervened too soon)








Not true...plenty of fights where one guy might buckle a bit or wobble back an lean on the ropes and get a standing 8 count.
Seriously check the rules, I do not think this was an option for the referee in this fight.


I dont need to check the rules, maybe you should watch this around 1.30 , the guys buckled , wobbled , all over the ropes but doesnt go down and gets a standing 8 then goes on to win the fight

Like i said ive seen the same in shitloads of fights over the years
