What will you do if the fight was stopped prematurely by a ref bec. he sensed the boxer will be hurt and that boxer filed for a reversal of decision siting he is fit to continue but was not given the opportuniy to do so?

Football, basketball, and boxing are not the same sports. So therefore the rules must be different. But in football and basketball calls are commonly reversed due to instant replay. That is what happened here. There are no judges in football or basketball so that plays no similarity. In this fight the judges weren't even relevant. The rules are very clear. If the fight is stopped due to a cut caused by a headbutt before the 4th round completes then the fight is a no contest. That is exactly what took place and the replay backed it up with absolutely no doubt. Your analogy of a fighter being waved off by the referee's discretion has never and never will take place in an appeal. To win an appeal you must display absolute facts that have zero doubts. If you watch the Bradley/Campbell fight, knowing the rules, then this is not even an argument
