Obviously AJ had won virtually every round with the judges only disagreeing on 1 round. So as I say perhaps that influenced the refs decision that he was getting hit with no great prospect of winning the fight.
I am and always have been of the opinion that if the fight reaches the last 3rd and a fighter is getting hit and so far behind on points with no chance of winning other than 1 lucky punch the ref should stop the fight. I am not saying that is right or wrong just my opinion. I dont know how...
Isnt it the same he wasnt throwing enough punches back surely it means the same.he wasnt making a fight of it just trying to go the distance and land a lucky punch.
BBC says the ref stopped it because Takem wasnt throwing any punches just taking them and the ref had seen enough. Not watching it but it seems the correct decision if the man isnt hitting back.
