Hitting on the break and resulting KOs?

[Badger]

I can't remember that fight!

I think it was legit and Paez was to blame.

Remember this one?

Fucking hell this is a classic.

The first shot was desperation. Ortiz was getting ground down and was clinching every 2 seconds. He knew what he was doing. I agree with power puncher. No contest after 5 minutes.. Partially the refs fault for not getting in there and separating the fighters with both hands and prying them apart.

The punch after the bell was fair to me. They bother threw after the bell. One landed, one didn't.

Hitting on the break happens many times because the refs are lazy. They got the best seat in the house. So they walk around and peek and then don't do anything because they are forced to. For all the people saying the ref should be invisible, it doesn't mean that you cant be vocal. When two fighters get tied up, you can say:

- Punch it out (I'm not breaking this up yet so get your work in)
- Break (Release your grip and step the hell back) and then get in with both arms and wedge them apart.
- Stop holding (i've seen refs physically pry that hold hand off and let guys punch it out)

Too often refs now, let the fighters work it out because they themselves don't want to get hit breaking a clinch, assert themselves with a dirty fighter that might be raging (roid or other) or just plain don't know how to ref a fight.
