Media What the hell is this stoppage?

[Dr. Rose]

I am fine with it. I think taking some extra shots may be better for cte compared to getting a count (a chance to shake out the webs) and then continue and receiving more blows to the head in the long run.

Boxing might be better if you were allowed to hit opponents after they stand up after a knockdown or the quasi standing ground and pound that they did back in the day. You can see it in this footage near the 1:30 mark and then again around 2. If you never seen it, watch Unforgivable Blackness.

Some kickboxing royalty right there sir

Amazing that they are just sitting there together like it was a Sunday afternoon lol.

 

[StonedLemur]

Loll, I’m not asking for validation by any means.
I know a lot of users on here like to see those pics, and that’s why I share them. I just find it cool to be the “man on the ground” for this community, that’s all bud
Cheers

Fuck that guy, he whines about everything lol.
Homeboy would be a miserable prick no matter where he was man.

 

[StonedLemur]

You are creepy and way too concerned with publicizing your face on sherdog.

Don't shit on the kid because you're a miserable prick.

@BoxerMaurits

Terrible stoppage you should've hopped in there and put an end to that shit

Fuckin old man curmudgeon comes in shitting on a young man for enjoying himself.

Douche status confirmed and earned homegirl.

 

[Banana Tree's Nemesis]

First one real bad, second one inexperienced ref. Corner should've thrown the towel in that one.
But yeah, not that funny to watch stuff like that.

So last weekend I went to GLORY 85 together with @TacticalTijs
The fights were great and full of action, we truly had a blast, but the heavyweight-tournament semi finals in Tariq Osaro vs Jahfarr Wilnis gave me freaking flashbacks to Ivan Drago vs Apollo Creed.
I sat close to the ring and really couldn’t believe my eyes and thought the poor Wilnis was going to fucking die in that ring, waiting for the ref to stop the fight but it just didn’t happen.
Personally I thought the stoppage was very late.

So that made me wonder, what do you guys think of this stoppage (this is the final sequence on top of a battering second round)? Do you agree with the referee, or should this fight have been stopped way before?



It’s worth to note that GLORY doesn’t have standing 8-counts.
Imo, if they did use standing 8-counts, I think the referee would’ve intervened way before, because giving someone an 8-count has less impact on the outcome of a fight than counting someone out.

This one was pretty bad too imo (swipe for the ultimate stoppage):

The first one was criminal.

 

[Snubnoze707]

Brave guy - I feel like Badr is as likely to take a selfie with you or KO for bothering him.

I think statistically their is a higher chance of @BoxerMaurits KOing Badr...

 

[dog y]

I'm getting old and death by ref doesn't please me much... These ref are like Yuji Shimada's disciples.
At least they're consistent. If everyone agreed, it's Fight to the death.

 

[CPH]

That’s a criminally late stoppage by a hack of a ref.

 

[Snubnoze707]

In regards to these two instances, the refs fucked up in both.

For the first - While Glory does not have standing counts, per their rules this should have been deemed a TKO by the referee:

"Technical Knockout : If a contestant shows no will to resume the fight or if the referee is of the opinion that the contestant is incapable of resuming the fight or has failed to intelligently defend themself."

For the second - She at the very least should had gone all the way to 10. A veteran referee would have noticed that fighter was not fully coherent in making the 10 count in which that should had been deemed a KO:

"Knockout : If a contestant is struck in such a way that he or she is incapable of resuming the fight within the referee’s ten-count or if the referee declares a knockout before the count of 10 in order to bring in immediate medical assistance."

The refs always take the blame when a guy takes a few too many shots, but we should really be blaming the corners for not throwing in the towel. I for one actually hope to see the fight to the death girl ref back, which I swear has nothing to do with her sexy accent.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

which I swear has nothing to do with her sexy accent.

Damn I knew I couldn’t be the only one, loll

Is it the accent that does it for you or women in uniforms?

@SuperLuigi is about to book a trip to Eastern Europe for the Summer.

 

[Trabaho]

Females shouldn't be refs. She wasn't good

 

[Iactus Inferus]

Females shouldn't ve refs.

What a strange thing to think. Why shouldn't they?

 

[Trabaho]

What a strange thing to think. Why shouldn't they?

Too weak. Don't understand male fighting like man. They should ref female fights. See her stoppage was really bad. Way to late.

 

[Iactus Inferus]

Too weak.

And the male referees with dad bods are going to break up two professional athletes from a scrap? The fighters are just following the rules and the referee is enforcing them - ultimately, this is sport fighting. They aren't animals.

Don't understand male fighting like man. They should ref female fights.

I'll have to ask you to elaborate here, I really don't know what you mean by this.

See her stoppage was really bad. Way to late.

Do I really need to post videos of bad stoppages by male referees as a counter example? A referee, regardless of gender, can have a lapse of judgement and stop a fight too late.
