Mike Weaver v Michael Dokes....hhhmmmmm

[treelo]

Rewatched this again today, this may be one of the oddest/worst stoppages i've ever seen, the ref goes to break them up and decides to stop the fight instead

It's a very bad stoppage but he wasn't throwing back. You always put yourself in a vulnerable position if you don't throw back.

i get that, but he was breaking the clinch, he didn't even look at Weaver

possibly the biggest dodgy stoppage i have ever seen in a fight for a world title

it was a big deal then, rematch was mandated and it was a lot more competitive. That ref was shot after that, whatever the case, he was always fucking up in the other fights I saw, letting one go too long, can't remember which fight it was though.

gotta punch back, even if just to give the impression you're not out on your feet. Lots of guys don't, 2 things, it makes it look like you are either hurt or you just don't want no more and that looks bad to everyone.

that ref was shitter than the one who did the Dubois-Joshua fight

you cant stop a fight when breaking guys up without actually looking at the guy you are saying has lost the contest

He was but how many fights have we seen stopped we when the punches weren't even being landed.
