Meehan - Williamson results

Post by Rags19 »

I note that you have the result the the Kali Meehan - DaVarryl Williamson fight as a RTD6 Williamson.

This fight was actually a TKO6 for Meehan, as the ringside doctor stopped the fight following a vicious knockdown for Meehan.

Not to nit-pik, but I'd hate anyone to every think Williamson "quit" on his stool...

AFAIK, “quitting on your stool” is an old sports writers myth.
Under the unified rules now accepted by most commissions, only the referee
can stop a fight. (Some states still allow the ringside physician the privilege.)

This is why a fighter is disqualified when the corner steps into the ring.
If U allow the corner to stop fights too many wise guys will get rich.

Do a search on RTD for more info.

But the Dr. Jordan w/ the NYSAC ordered the referee to stop the fight..shouldn't that be a TKO for Meehan?
