The big deal? Good job ref.. those guys talking would have wanted it stopped if they would have gotten knocked down..but real fighters want to continue everytime....good job ref.
Good call, those commentators suck, he was defending himself, he didnt look totally out of it, the last punch was the finisher though, ref was giving the guy a chance. Ive seen some pretty brutal beatdowns when it should have been stopped immediately, but the dumb ass ref waited to long and ended the boxers career.
omg tell that moron that he is allowed to hit the body too, ffs smacking him across the guard like 30 times, not one body shot, fucking pissed me off watching.
Ref stopped it after the only clean shot after the knockdown, until that point no clean shot had been landed (so i do not know what fight the commentators were watching) the guys legs had yet to recover from the knockdown ( and that was the fastest count i have ever seen in boxing) - count should have been slower and ref should not have stopped it until at least 2 shots in a combination are clean shots with the guy unable to either cover up or return punches.
I dont think the ref should have stopped the fight there either, it should have kept going based on the fact that he was still defending himself when the ref stopped the fight. poor decision.
2 bums, doubtful either has the conditioning for the fight, or that they'd produce a fight worth watching, so i'd have stopped it from even being broadcast... that, or televise it, but let both fighters wear brass knuckles
I thought the ref should stop it if your taking damage without attempting to hit your opponent. Yeah hes defending himself but clearly isnt punching back, thus creating an onslaught which is dangerous for the boxer ?
Michael had his guard up, he was defending himself. After the knock down he got caught by a hefty punch straight away but continued to defend himself. Then after some glancing blows the ref stopped it when one more clean punch got through.
I say easiest way to judge is look at the black guys expression when it gets called off. He doesn't seem to care... he had no fight left in him and that knock down was heavy as f^ck! And just before the mouth-gaurd gets taken out he is woooobbly 1:04. Kudos for getting up though but... ye no swings... no fight left. I need to watch whole fight now seems like it might have been pretty good
what in the fuck is that announcer goin on with, what an idiot, the white kid didnt even land one, ridiculous, hitting his block, thats what it is there for, to defend, he was ok as far as i could see, coming from a boxing background.
The ref did it by the book. Stopping it any earlier would have the title of the video being "Did he stop the fight too early". Ref can't win either way.
He suffered a flash knockout (still a concussion). If it were an MMA fight it would have been called a KO. It's dangerous to continue after suffering any brain injury, so the commentators were not "wrong" to question it, as the result would have been the same if he did stop the fight earlier.
Commentators were a bit over anxious about wanting the ref to stop the fight. If Sprott's hands were by his waist then sure stop the fight but they weren't , he was defending himself, having said all that he stopped it at about the right time.
i think he stopped it at the right time, the other guy didn't really land any clean punches after the down. the guy was wobbly but he had his guard up
@EmeraldIsleStar True but when I pay to see a fight, I wanna see a fight. I could care less about the boxers safety, I wanna see him get hit in the face.
If I was the ref I wouldn't have stopped it at all, I would have let him get knocked out. That's what the fans wanna see, that's why the boxers are paid.
After the left hook at :42 I would have stopped it. The guy nodded and said he wanted to continue after the knockdown, so i would have given him a chance to throw a haymaker, a puncher's chance, but the first solid shot he took I would step in. That was at :42
I thought it was gonna go the full 2:12 of the clip, but this wasn't bad. Sure you could make the argument that it should have been stopped but it wasn't outright offensive like the announcers implied, and it certainly didn't look like the guy suffered any permanent damage after getting back up at the 9 count.
i understand that he got back up which usually means the match continues but when he went down, the way he went down, he looked limp for a second and looked out of it still when he got back up that shoulda been a T.K.O.
@TheSweetAndSourTeam the point of boxing is 1. to be the best (yes part is ego). 2. money 3. fighting and violence is part of nature sorry to say so some people just enjoy doing it. however if u dont like boxing then there are like 1000 other sports.. dont watch it. and im not trying to be rude or anything but it is also rude to bash sports that a LOT of other people like so maybe you should try to be more open minded.
@pskeeza Not if he gets back up. if he gets up that means he's made the decision to carry on it's the boxer's decision in that situation the ref can't just tell him to finish when he get's back up.
The boxer was still defending himself, the ref made the right call when he got clocked hard there and then stopped it, as long as your still defending yourself you should get a chance to get back into the fight, but yea he was a goner.
The commentators are sitting behind their mics, making comments for a reason. They are not refs, and are not in the ring. The ref did his job, and knew what he was doing. If he'd stopped the fight before, he would have taken heat from the fighter and the crowd. Stopped after he did, and the fighter could have been seriously injured or worse. He had to give him a chance to recover. When he was convinced that was not going to happen, he called it. He stopped it at the perfect time.
He may have been waiting for the next round. Just survive. In that situation the opponent only has to get in and land a good lunch, or get him off balance and the ref will stop it. If I ever box I'll never go that caper - I think you've got to fight back or you risk being robbed.
Stopped too quickly after that last hit. Should have given him a chance to put his gloves up once more and then step in if no block or punch. The guy looks ok after and is even a bit peeved when he congratulates the other guy, who just brushes past him without respect.
refs job is to make sure serious damage doesn't happen might have been better to stop it right there. it might seem fine but they gotta worry abt long term effects
I would have been thinking about stepping in any moment after the first knock down. Once it's clear a fighter cannot fight back that should be the end of it. As a spectator I would not have complained if it had been called off after the knock down.
@dgfjh234 Is the ability to keep your hands up enough? There are plenty of fights where a fighter is out on his feet, has no chance of punching back but still has his hands up. He was too far gone for big shots landing flush to be needed.
@dgfjh234 The fuck are you talking about? He landed a HUGE shot right before the fight was stopped, he was getting punched out the whole time and not throwing shots, he was on the brink of being injured.
Honestly the ref did a good job. Red dude was up and defending tryin 2 regain composure. White dude did nothin but punch his gloves after that. Nothing landed. But red shorts never fully regained composure, and threw 0 punches. Maybe after the clinch at about 0:43 is the earliest it should've been stopped.
the fighter was still protecting himself, the punches he was absorbing were partial punches meaning connected with glove first. I thought it was stopped too soon. Just my opinion but I as my wife constantly tells me, my opinion is usually the wrong one.
@DAVEPRO74 I don't care about your pig ugly wife. I don't care that you think she's the prettiest thing ever just like all parent's think their kids are special.
The fact that you think it's funny to say that your wife nags you constantly and tells you you're wrong is what I hate.
It's the same bullshit that's on every sitcom in america. The stupid fat husband who is lucky to have the way too hot for him wife to tell him what to do.
Your balls were cut off long ago and you're ok with it.
@wtfdudenotcool101Man you are so deep!!! dude, seriously put on what ever it is you EMO shitfucks listen too and step in front of a bus!!! PLEASE!! The world begs you!! You have ZERO concept of what the world is about and how it functions. Oh you are so cool because you hate the establishment. WELL LA FEAKIN DA!!!! So going back to my statement, go back to your pullout sofa in your parents basement and jerk off to Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. Then hang yourself. You assmaggot waste of flesh.
@DAVEPRO74 WTF are you talking about? I make a great living, provide a service to society, pay my taxes, I vote and make a concerted effort to learn as much as i can everyday.
WTF do you do besides moan about your naggy wife and act like it's a joke?
You mirror what I hate about America and act like it's a joke.
It was a good call, I think ref did the right thing. He gave the other fighter a chance come back. Also, the defeniding fighter was keeping his arms up; if the arms had been down I would have stopped the fight immediately.
The guy was up and nodded that he was OK. The other fighter only landed 3 solid shots unanswered and that's how I would do it too. Sure the guy was wobbly but the guy throwing punches was wide open for a counter punch so you have to give a fighter a chance to come back.
Agreed. Plus the corner can throw in the towel anytime they feel their fighter is in real danger. Why do people always blame the refs for letting fighters fight?
@TheJayg2 The point is not to make assumptions. It's possible at any moment for a counter punch, and the point is to give each competitor the fairest amount of time to do their thing.
@when should it be stopped is the question being asked. The answer is when Llewellyn stops punching Sprott's gloves and lands a shot on his head/face.
i dont see what was wrong, he never fell, so to my concern never stop it till ko or til someone is breakin bones or bleeding, and when i say bleeding, i mean... ALOT
he stopped it at a good time.. dont watch fighting sports if you cant stand to see a man get hurt... Many times fighters have come back and it would suck you prepared a while for that fight and get it stopped when there was a chance you can come back.
@TrueGreatness73 there was 0 chance for that guy to come back, he was wobbling around, stumbling back, unprepared to open his guard. besides, "fighting sports" is not about hurting the other guy, that's the wrong attitude. it's about skill, pacing, stamina, etc. you don't win by giving someone else brain damage, wtf is with sports fans these days?! combat sports, just like any other sports, is a competition of skill. a KO may be thrilling, but it's not the name of the game.
@ubersum1 Wobbling around doesn't always necessarily mean you lost the fight as I have seen tons of fighters come back from that. Second of all that is your opinion about fighting sports. Third of all if people dont want to get hurt dont join the damn sport. Whats up with all these scary ass fans worried about fighters health when that was there choice to fight? I use to kick box and fight MMA armature. I never met 1 fighter that was worried about not trying to hurt the guy. Go watch golfing.
@TrueGreatness73 i think you somehow completely missed the point of my argument. my point is that the sport is not about hurting the opponent but by wearing him down and earning victory through skill. obviously pain is involved, and obviously, it's a big part of this sport. but the purpose is to show off skill rather than brutality, which should go without saying. it's implied in the word "sport." and there was really no way that guy was going to come back from that! o.O pretty clear to me...
@ubersum1 You said, "my point is that the sport is not about hurting the opponent but by wearing him down and earning victory through skill". You just contradicted yourself. In order to win points you have to hurt them AKA(also known as) effective punches. You are not making any sense. You say its about this and that yet you are contradicting yourself. In boxing if you land 100 jab punches and your opponent only lands 80 hard punches the winner will go to the guy with 80 punches. Go watch golf
@TrueGreatness73 again, you're refusing to understand my point. whether due to pride or stubbornness, you're not reading my words literally. i've already laid out everything i wanted to say, so either re-read it or let it go. i'd be glad to be of a different opinion to you, but that's not what's happening, you're just not getting my point, so...
@ubersum1 I know exactly what your point is yet it makes no sense because you are saying the point is to wear them down through skills.Wearing them down= punching them down unless you are referring to a different term in boxing that nobody is aware of. If you ever have a chance watch the Brock Lesnar vs Shane Carwin fight.Carwin was smashing Brock Lesnar and according to you the ref should of stopped the fight because Brock was "wobbling around and stumbling". Guess what? Brock came back to win
@TrueGreatness73 hmm you claim to understand my point, and yet your argument is incredibly circular and repetitive. no, you don't get my point. let me break it down, i enjoy watching footwork, stamina, bobbing, weaving, well-timed hits, counters, powershots that land, etc etc. obviously, all of these facets tie in with "hurting the opponent," but that isn't the POINT. what i DON'T enjoy watching is someone pounding on someone who can't fight back, because there's no skill or game involved.
@ubersum1 in other words, i enjoy that they hurt each other via skill, rather than watching people just hurting each other. if you watch boxing for the pain, then i suggest you may as well be watching bdsm. i don't get off to that, so i can't speak for it. what i enjoy about boxing is the skill involved. which i might add is a pretty fucking obvious thing, if you think about it... it is a sport afterall.
@ubersum1 Who doesnt enjoy counters, power shots, weaving, technique ect.? The main point is when to jump in and stop a fight and this was ok for him to stop the fight at that time. You dont understand that many fighters have came back after wobbling more than this guy. The point is that we dont agree on when a ref should jump in. This guys gloves were up which tells the ref hes still defending himself.I know as my uncles a boxing ref and I been in the fight game. I dont think fighting's for you
@ubersum1 also, i love watching boxing and kickboxing. i wouldn't if i couldn't stand to watch people "hurting each other," but i don't watch it specifically because i enjoy people getting ktfo, i enjoy watching someone technically outdo someone else, whether that involves a ko or not. but unnecessarily beating someone who can't respond is neither technical or skillful. even the victor in this vid was sort of "wtf" that the ref let it happen
Yeah at about 0:30 when the guy isn't really able to fight anymore, but the ref did a good job. No need for the dude to go down again and possibly injure himself.
They're damned if they do and damned if they don't! Sometimes when the ref stops a fight the person who was on the verge of being knocked out complains that he could have carried on (as do fans sometimes). Perhaps in this instance the ref did leave it a bit late.
should have been stopped right after the first punch after he gets up from the knockdown, his reaction to that punch says it all, there was no need for anymore
After gettin knocked down you can come to your senses any second. Yea sprott was rattled, but he could have shaken it off and layed wayne out when he got careless just tryn to finish the fight with ONE PUNCH
watch my videos :)

The fact that you think it's funny to say that your wife nags you constantly and tells you you're wrong is what I hate.
It's the same bullshit that's on every sitcom in america. The stupid fat husband who is lucky to have the way too hot for him wife to tell him what to do.
Your balls were cut off long ago and you're ok with it.

It was a good call, I think ref did the right thing. He gave the other fighter a chance come back. Also, the defeniding fighter was keeping his arms up; if the arms had been down I would have stopped the fight immediately.

It was fine. If 9 seconds is no good they should change the KO to 9 seconds instead of 10, lol. That's what the rules are for.

The guy was up and nodded that he was OK. The other fighter only landed 3 solid shots unanswered and that's how I would do it too. Sure the guy was wobbly but the guy throwing punches was wide open for a counter punch so you have to give a fighter a chance to come back.

Agreed. Plus the corner can throw in the towel anytime they feel their fighter is in real danger. Why do people always blame the refs for letting fighters fight?

he stopped it at a good time.. dont watch fighting sports if you cant stand to see a man get hurt... Many times fighters have come back and it would suck you prepared a while for that fight and get it stopped when there was a chance you can come back.
TrueGreatness73 4 months ago
@TrueGreatness73 there was 0 chance for that guy to come back, he was wobbling around, stumbling back, unprepared to open his guard. besides, "fighting sports" is not about hurting the other guy, that's the wrong attitude. it's about skill, pacing, stamina, etc. you don't win by giving someone else brain damage, wtf is with sports fans these days?! combat sports, just like any other sports, is a competition of skill. a KO may be thrilling, but it's not the name of the game.
ubersum1 4 months ago
@ubersum1 Wobbling around doesn't always necessarily mean you lost the fight as I have seen tons of fighters come back from that. Second of all that is your opinion about fighting sports. Third of all if people dont want to get hurt dont join the damn sport. Whats up with all these scary ass fans worried about fighters health when that was there choice to fight? I use to kick box and fight MMA armature. I never met 1 fighter that was worried about not trying to hurt the guy. Go watch golfing.
TrueGreatness73 4 months ago
@TrueGreatness73 i think you somehow completely missed the point of my argument. my point is that the sport is not about hurting the opponent but by wearing him down and earning victory through skill. obviously pain is involved, and obviously, it's a big part of this sport. but the purpose is to show off skill rather than brutality, which should go without saying. it's implied in the word "sport." and there was really no way that guy was going to come back from that! o.O pretty clear to me...
ubersum1 4 months ago
@ubersum1 You said, "my point is that the sport is not about hurting the opponent but by wearing him down and earning victory through skill". You just contradicted yourself. In order to win points you have to hurt them AKA(also known as) effective punches. You are not making any sense. You say its about this and that yet you are contradicting yourself. In boxing if you land 100 jab punches and your opponent only lands 80 hard punches the winner will go to the guy with 80 punches. Go watch golf

@TrueGreatness73 again, you're refusing to understand my point. whether due to pride or stubbornness, you're not reading my words literally. i've already laid out everything i wanted to say, so either re-read it or let it go. i'd be glad to be of a different opinion to you, but that's not what's happening, you're just not getting my point, so...
ubersum1 4 months ago
@ubersum1 I know exactly what your point is yet it makes no sense because you are saying the point is to wear them down through skills.Wearing them down= punching them down unless you are referring to a different term in boxing that nobody is aware of. If you ever have a chance watch the Brock Lesnar vs Shane Carwin fight.Carwin was smashing Brock Lesnar and according to you the ref should of stopped the fight because Brock was "wobbling around and stumbling". Guess what? Brock came back to win
TrueGreatness73 4 months ago
@TrueGreatness73 hmm you claim to understand my point, and yet your argument is incredibly circular and repetitive. no, you don't get my point. let me break it down, i enjoy watching footwork, stamina, bobbing, weaving, well-timed hits, counters, powershots that land, etc etc. obviously, all of these facets tie in with "hurting the opponent," but that isn't the POINT. what i DON'T enjoy watching is someone pounding on someone who can't fight back, because there's no skill or game involved.
ubersum1 4 months ago
@ubersum1 in other words, i enjoy that they hurt each other via skill, rather than watching people just hurting each other. if you watch boxing for the pain, then i suggest you may as well be watching bdsm. i don't get off to that, so i can't speak for it. what i enjoy about boxing is the skill involved. which i might add is a pretty fucking obvious thing, if you think about it... it is a sport afterall.
ubersum1 4 months ago
@ubersum1 Who doesnt enjoy counters, power shots, weaving, technique ect.? The main point is when to jump in and stop a fight and this was ok for him to stop the fight at that time. You dont understand that many fighters have came back after wobbling more than this guy. The point is that we dont agree on when a ref should jump in. This guys gloves were up which tells the ref hes still defending himself.I know as my uncles a boxing ref and I been in the fight game. I dont think fighting's for you
TrueGreatness73 4 months ago
@ubersum1 also, i love watching boxing and kickboxing. i wouldn't if i couldn't stand to watch people "hurting each other," but i don't watch it specifically because i enjoy people getting ktfo, i enjoy watching someone technically outdo someone else, whether that involves a ko or not. but unnecessarily beating someone who can't respond is neither technical or skillful. even the victor in this vid was sort of "wtf" that the ref let it happen
ubersum1 4 months ago
Yeah at about 0:30 when the guy isn't really able to fight anymore, but the ref did a good job. No need for the dude to go down again and possibly injure himself.

They're damned if they do and damned if they don't! Sometimes when the ref stops a fight the person who was on the verge of being knocked out complains that he could have carried on (as do fans sometimes). Perhaps in this instance the ref did leave it a bit late.
