I mean entertaining fight but what if Gatti Suffered a brain bleed and died then we would of criticized the ref for letting him get hurt.....

These guys have to live outside the ring and have a long productive life...I think the ref shows alot of compassion when they stop a guy from getting his brains beat in unnessasarily especially when they hold them up and hug them....
Yeah it shows how much they care, they throw themselves in the middle of the two fighters and make sure if anyones taking more punishment then it will be the ref. Really like jumping infront of a bullet...id imagine it would hurt if you did that in a fight with a prime tyson in it as he might not stop even though youve jumped in front of them.
