I have to completely agree with that.

If anything, I feel the exact opposite of the original post.
Where boxing refs seem to be the ones who jump in quickly before a guy gets seriously hurt (Calzaghe - Manfredo for example)
Not sure how you can compare boxing stoppages to pummeling guys who are on their back.
