Just tell him to fight back and guve it a few seconds at least, if he still wasnt throwing anything after a warning then people wouldnt be so upset by the stoppage.
The ref has a history of being useless . Although it was a quick stoppage , I think we can all agree that it didnt make a blind bit of difference as the result would have been the same whatever the round
