Faust vs Kiladze FULL FIGHT : January 1, 2023 | PBC on FOX PPV

The action packed Faust vs Kiladze fight saw five knockdowns in less than two rounds as Viktor Faust (9-0, 7 KOs) remained unbeaten via second-round TKO over a game Iago Kiladze (30-6, 11 KOs).
"I felt very confident in the fight,” said Faust. “This was a great win for my career. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I'm proud of this victory today.”
In a wild first round that saw both men hit the canvas, Faust struck first, connecting on a left hook that dropped Kiladze less than a minute into the round. With Faust looking to finish the fight quickly, Kiladze unloaded a missile counter right hand that sent Faust tumbling into the ropes and to the mat.
The first round action was not over yet, as Faust would go on to score a second knockdown in the round, again connecting with a clean left hook. In round two, the fireworks continued, with Kiladze striking first via another counter right hand that dropped Faust.
Despite the onslaught, Faust was able to return fire once again, landing a left hand-right hook combination that put Kiladze on the mat for the third time in the fight. This time, referee Samuel Burgos waved off the bout at 1:44 into round, ending the fight to the disgust of Kiladze, who pleaded to continue after the fight was called.
“The stoppage was definitely unexpected, but from the way things were going, it was inevitable,” said Faust.

The ref stopped what could've been the best fight ever in history.

The ref copped an attitude, he didn't give him a chance.

YOU'RE CRAZY... ... THIS WAS THE WORST STOPPAGE IN BOXING HISTORY..

[@quillanjacobson1478]

He took a slightly wobbled step. Its not like he was flipping out like Zab Judah. Plus these are heavyweights with 0 coordination before being punched, they wobble anytime they change direction, you can't treat them the same.

[@dextertorrefiel8293]

Stoppage was too soon.

[@peterjansen3846]

The Ref did NOT mess up! He asked the fighter to step forward and he staggered sideways. End of story.

[@whaddyathink949]

That alone should not mean the end of a fight. Balance does not dictate the ability to create offense. Ever see Jean Pascal? He was off balance all the time!

[@JoseDiaz-ef1xs]

That referee really wanted Faust to win.

[@lutherrabaya4986]

Right call by ref. From Philippines

[@stueystuey1962]

I was surprised by the stop. It happened quick. But as Lennox said the ref is the one closest to the action. Wildly entertaining of course seeing two big guys beat on each other so it would have been fun for it to continue. Two things occurred to me though, and this is not speculation: the ref had reached 8 and the fella was still backing up, then he gave him a full second to start to come forward and when he did he wobbled - a lot. The eyes say a lot and the ref was looking right into this guys eyes. don't think the ref had anything malicious in mind stopping it when he did. Split second decision. The guys have been knocking each other down every 30 seconds. Wobbly guy goes back and takes one more unprotected shot, that is no good.

[@rubencabagnot3784]

The referee is clearly biased! Even the way he warned the fighter for punches very common in a fight! 🙄🤔😜

[@ronaldopalito9486]

I am not a fan of any of these fighters but I agree with the referee's decision to stop the fight. The fighter was clearly wobbly and might not be able to defend himself against the incoming punches of the opponent. Much better decision than to see another boxer die in the ring due to ref's negligence.

@whaddyathink949 I've been in the game for over 27 years. You ever heard of leavander Johnson? Who fought Jesus Chavez? Leavander Johnson was a good friend of mine that helped get ready for that fight. Mat he rest in peace. If one of my fighter is winning a fight and gets dropped hard and gets a count and he wobbles a little bit I wouldn't argue with the ref. My fighters health comes before a win. I want to bring my fighter home to his family in good shape. A loss is not the end of your career. We live to fight another day.
