I suppose Cook had his chance to hold after the first kd, and he didn't so there is nothing to suggest that he would have survived getting kd again in that round.
At the time i thought he probably could continue but i can't fault the ref for stepping in and calling it. It did seem however, that Bradley Pryce was given more of an opportunity to get back into the fight earlier on in the night. Maybe the brutality of his KO played on the ref's mind slightly. Had the potential to be a cracker aswell seen as though they both clearly were capable of rocking eachother.
Cook should have tried to hold on at least instead of trying to fight back. Ah well i never thought he was good enough to be a world champ and at least now we don't have to watch a Cook, Arthur, Mitchell, Foster Jnr WBO title merry-go-round.
