Risky business overturning the wishes of the corner when they throw the towel in.
Crazy how he got everyone out of the ring.
Foreman could have really got injured had it gone on longer.. I think the ref wanted the fans to get their worth..
fight got a lot of heat though.

I think it's a bridge too far. The corner are employed to protect their fighter and I think a referee should respect their wishes if they want to pull their man out.

the ref was terrible in the cotto fight, foreman was taking a prolonged battering from an obviously superior and uninjured fighter, getting hurt while hardly being able to stand or fight back. there wasnt the slightest hint he could turn it around either
ridiculous that anyone would praise that ref

Apparently some thought Cotto was finished by time this fight came around. I think maybe because he lost to Trout.

Many fighters could have used 22 seconds of recovery time. it would have changed many a fight.

That’s not really the question mate but I agree.

One big diff was that Taylor was on his feet taking shots.

IMO there should always be a full 10 count issued unless a fighter is in clear immediate medical danger such as convulsing etc. Other than that a full count should be issued which might be pointless in many cases but it removes all doubt and controversy.

No he wasn't, he was in the corner taking a count.

Dr. Flip Homansky, who examined Taylor after the fight, said,
"Meldrick suffered a facial fracture, he was urinating pure blood, his face was grotesquely swollen...this was a kid who was truly beaten up to the face, the body, and the brain."

No doubt, he deserved that win.
