Fights getting Stopped to Early by the referee

[magee]

Calzaghe v Peter Manfredo Jr. Not that it would have changed the outcome, just that I thought the ref came in to early. Felt for Manfredo, it was a big night for him.

Agreed. The referee had a 'mare. Did feel for Manfredo that night.

Ruddock v Lewis I always springs to mind when they talk about early stoppages - Ruddock had received a fair punch yes but Steele I think it was stopped it within two seconds of the ounch landing with Ruddock still upright (am pretty sure he wasn'even lying on ropes).

I also thought Lewis v McCall I was a premature stoppage. Lewis was hurt very badly yes but should have been given chance to continue I thought.

[Mark TKO]

Also Julian Jackson v Herol Graham.

If you watch a replay referee waves fight off at count at 2 - like hello Last I heard a fighter on the canvas should be given a full ten second count. Herol had a full 7 seconds to recover and was clearly not given the chance.

You mean Tyson vs Rudduck 1?

Yeah I agree about Lewis - Mcall 1

In this Country Referee's may stop fight's to soon, the bigger picture is stopping injury or even death,
I for one like the guy get out of the ring with his brain in working order.
Boxing is a hard game some of the best fight's, I have seen over the many year's people have been hurt
some very bad, I have no problem when a fight has been stopped sooner than later, you no when somebody has taken a drubbing. Remember being carried out of the Ring some one,s Son Father or Brother
yes blood and snot but I don't want anybody to be a cabbage.!

....i agree as well. Wow i almost even forgot about that one. Talk about not even getting a shot.

I think it was a little early, but come on. Peter was on the ropes getting hit with a barrage of shots and not throwing anything back. That's just asking for a stoppage.

That fight shouldn't have been made in the first place though. Manfredo wasn't in the same league.

I thought Tyson -v- Ruddock 1 was stopped too early.

OK, Ruddock was never going to win, but when it was stopped, he wasn't out on his feet & had actually been relatively competitive up to that point.

That was Richard Steel who was criticised for stopping the Chavez v Taylor fight too. Remember the Ring headline “Did Richard Steal my fight” (or something like that).

While the stoppage was atrocious (possibly the worst I have ever seen), I think the ref was well aware of the colossal mismatch taking place and was seriously concerned about Manfredo getting hurt.

[Memphis]

I dont think the fight was stopped to early but the referee for Hamed Alicea didnt give Alicea a chance to get up, he pinned him tothe canvass with the count at 2 I think.

[donnydarkoIRL]

I felt Andy Lee's fight against Vera was stopped too early, particularly since Lee landed the last two blows.
