Listen to this commentator questioning why the match was stopped! Um... maybe because it was clear Downey was getting the stuffing beaten out of her and she had nothing left in the tank?
@xyPERSON They question the stoppage cause the fight was almost over. The Ref could of stop it earlier when she was taking an even worse beating and was more badly hurt. If gonna let a fighter survive that you might as well let her finish the fight.
That is the stuff that killed women's boxing easrly buzz. One sided matches with well promoted fighters like St. John easily beating down down in their luck or not so great opponents. All the faults of pro boxing are exposed in the women's boxing division because there the numbers of boxers are smaller compared with the men. You have to feel some respect for Downey that reportedly took the fight as a replacement for another better fighter if my memory does not fail me.
@56LC So your argument is basically that women's boxing is what ruined the entire sport of boxing right? Well, here's my counterargument: Mike Tyson probably had more one-sided bouts in his career than any other fighter and it's still baffling how most of his fights as a top contender didn't go past the first two rounds. Also, how is boxing supposed to remain a worthy and credible sport when so-called fighters like Mayweather talk trash but don't want to back it up?
