At the time I thought it was early, huge build up massive event , 20 quid each, 10 year reigning hw champ

He takes 3 punches the ref stops it

And you're right he didn't complain, but on a rewatch he wanted it stopped, sums up the big girls blouse 👚
What was the point complaining the ref is not going to change their mind.

I do not think the fight should have been stopped then but it would have more than likely been eventually stopped.
