It's not "the worst stoppage ever" but it's up there. As I said its a stinker and would I have stopped it? I'd like to say no but it's Enzo were talking about here so who knows. I'm surprised he didn't get knocked out given that a couple of shots actually got through. Should IJL be sacked, possibly, will th board do it possibly not.

If that's not the worst stoppage ever then mention another one that was worse

And he scored Purdy vs Colin Lynes a draw !

I've never heard of a boxer being injured by a fight going on too long. You must remember that in MMA a man can be prone unconsious taking shots and still no one has being seriously injured on any western shows.

Edit: Watson Vs Eubank..... but perhaps a corner intervention would have saved any hesitation on the referees part. These days they border on ridiculous.

He's taken a lot in the last couple of years, being allowed to take that shot from Frenkel when he was clearly finished was poor reffing, I'd rather see him stopped too early rather than too late like that again.

Bullsh1t. While Manfredo may not have been hurt, Calzaghe landed 40 unanswered punches and Manfredo did not throw anything back.
Enzo wasn't hurt, landed a goo left uppercut just before, McKenzie was wasting a lot of energy missing wildly and has always been a 5-6 round fighter.

You can't counter by shouting 'Bullshit!' and coming up with an absolute steaming shit of an argument!
No way, no how did Calzaghe land 40 punches in that final flurry. No way.
He might have thrown about 10 punches and about 20 wide slaps, a few of which might have gotten through, but landing 40 punches? You must be mad.

Manfredo didn't throw a punch for 8 seconds whilst Calzaghe windmilled at a high guard.

That stoppage was as soft as shite.

Only health, well being and possibly lives (ok lives is a bit dramatic) :)
