You don't seem to care, but I would rather a fight was stopped too soon instead of too late.
It's my belief that everyone setting at ringside failed this fighter, if I'd been there I'd have been yelling at the ref to stop the fight.
Shit man, I even blame the other fighter, do you remember when Ali had Quarry in a bad way on the ropes and was waving the ref in to stop the fight?
When you see a fighter in a bad way, taking loud thumping shots to the head and not throwing much back what are you thinking about? Maybe we should be thinking about how we can stop this from
happening again.
Boxing is a job and boxers should expect cuts, broken bones, bruises, rope burns, and problems from head trauma. Boxers should also expect to be protected from unnecessary head blows by the ref, their corner, and the doctor! Lol You know what I mean.
Sir, you are a hard hearted dude!
I'm not hard hearted I'm pragmatic


Magomed could have taken a knee or chose not to continue at any time during the fight ANY TIME! Nobody forced him to keep going, sorry nobody held a gun to his head and said "Answer the bell".

If he feared losing face he could have gotten his trainer to toss in the towel ANY TIME!

If he LOOKED in distress the ref and/or the doctor would have stepped in and stopped the fight as is the case with all fights.


Boxing is dangerous, it's always been dangerous and will always BE dangerous and fighters of all ages can and should know that.



Tell me where to stop the fight...if I'm a ref, trainer, doctor, promoter , Mike Perez, or anyone else where do I stop? Round 1 when Perez lands a punch that certainly breaks Mago's nose/orbital bone? Round 9 when Mago lands a huge left cross on Perez? The scores were: 92-97, 94-95, 92-97.....it wasn't a rout, it wasn't a total asswhupping, it was a very tough, very close fight and Mago got seriously injured


Tell me right now, what time, what round you stop the fight...hindsight is supposed to be 20/20 so you had best have an EXACT time where and when this fight should have been called.
