Something like 6 or 7 unanswered punches in two successive rounds.

Yeah but I don't think Perez landed very many unanswered punches, I remember Magomed constantly walking forward and throwing.

It's such an unprecise thing that the best we can do is leave it up to the re and corner men's discretion. You can have a guy like Gatti have dozens of bloody wars and not have any problems, and then Magomed takes a bunch of lead left hands, seems fine the whole fight, then tragedy strikes afterwards.

Some people fall out of airplanes and survive, and some people slip on a curb, hit their heads and die. It's such a crazy thing.
This. I remember a couple of times thinking maybe Mago's corner should stop it, but then he would get some punches off and keep coming forward. He never looked like he was on the verge of getting really hurt, or in more trouble than guys do come back to win from on a regular basis in boxing, it's a tough thing.

Hell since the thread is about Kovalev, the fighter that died after facing him a few years back just seemed like a routine stoppage loss until the ref waved it off, and I don't think that poor guy even made it to the hospital
