Fights getting Stopped to Early by the referee

[blegit]

I think one of the worst stoppages to come from a referee being a little to quick to stop proceedings in a fight would have to be when Ray Mercer clipped Tommy Morrison on the chin and he slipped and the ref stepped in too quickly. The ref didn't give the Duke a chance....I reckon that fight was fixed because just before that point Morrison was coasting to glorious win.....but yet again the ref had to spoil the party.


Job Biscuit (That for me was blatant early stoppage I have ever witnessed...shame cause it ruined a good career)!!


eh eh!!

You're just pulling our leg right? I have to admit when I first read this I thought this guy is delusional. But I'm pretty sure you're not that delusional to call like 10 unanswered shots an early stoppage. And I'm even more sure you're being hilarious when you see Morrison being violently knocked against the ropes then to the canvas for more than a 10 count. But you are right the ref sucked because Morrison could've gotten killed due to the ref not stopping this when Morrison went limp against the ropes and then was hit several more times without being able to defend himself. This was a truly scary KO. I get your humor though. Jokes on us

Agreed a truly brutal KO one of the more scary ones in boxing history where someone did not get permenatly hurt...I wasa truly surprised Morrison did not have not nonly his career over in that fight but most of his normal life....

As for early stoppages Richard Steele had become famous for them by the year 2000

Ruiz Tua

The ref stopped that fight early when Ruiz was dropped like a sack of rocks.

Vincent Pettway "ko"ing Simon Brown was clearly premature...I mean Brown was still punching back for crying out loud
