    On one British card recently Linares shredded Kevin Mitchell's face over a period of rounds and the ref just watches. Gradovich gets a tiny little boo boo and the ref immediately stops the fight.

    I can understand the refs being quick to jump in and stop fights because the BBBC is terrified of another Michael Watson-type lawsuit wiping them out -- the Watson judgement almost did, another one almost certainly would. But events like the ones I just mentioned are a bridge too far for me.

    You are correct @Fenster. I swear I thought Phil Edwards refereed that fight. The doctor stopping that ruined what would have been an impressive stoppage for Selby.

    Well that's another factor in stoppages. Although Mitchell was cut, it wasn't affecting his vision, he was still in the fight until the 10th when he was turned into the elephant man and it was stopped.

    Gradovich wasn't just getting a beating he was cut over both eyes. It was the second cut that made the ref get the doc's advice (you can clearly see claret leaking into both eyes when they stopped it).
