Laurence Cole one of the worst ref's in boxing called a halt against Takayama who I had ahead 6-2 in rounds. No reason for stoppage as he threw the last punch and the commentators and fans agreed to quick no reason stoppage.
I read somewhere Takayama’s corner had the ref stop the fight. Is that true? It would make more sense to me then what seemed like a arbitrary stoppage by the ref.
Sky Sports is reporting that BJ Saunders had multiple fractures to his orbital socket and his corner wouldn’t let him continue.
“ "He couldn't see," Hearn told DAZN. "I spoke to [trainer] Mark Tibbs. He couldn't see and he wouldn't let him go out.”
I have to revise my post fight flogging of Saunders for not continuing. I think if I had a face full of broken bones and my corner was telling me they wouldn’t allow me to continue and Canelo Alvarez was across the ring and dead set on beating the shit out me, I would acquiesce just as quickly.
The only difference in judges scorecards was the 7th round where only one Judge (Tim) saw BJS winning it. Not bad.
