Throwing in the towel : Rewind

[Captain Herb]

Good move, bad move, should the corner be allowed to stop the fight?

I remember seeing this at the time and thinking


Stop the damn fight!


What are other fights that should have been stopped by the corner??

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Should the corner be allowed? If the towel is thrown in or the fighters corner jumps in the ring, how could the fight continue?

A lot of fights should have been stopped in MMA via corner stoppage. MMA still has a just bleed mentality that boxing matured out of a long time ago.

There have been a few fights where guys have dislocated their arms early in the bout and still continue the entire fight, which is really ridiculous.

According to analysis of the fight there was no way for the corner to legally stop the fight other than having their fighter DQ'd.
