What an nanny that ref was, jeez - couldn't believe when he jumped in out of nowhere for the standing 8 count. This is probably the most epic fight I've seen. Ruddock being very selective with his shots, each blow coming out like a wrecking ball. And what awesome evasiveness by Tommy. Man, I want to see more.

[@bgood213]

Nanny ref? Wow. Learn boxing and its rules. When my dad referred this fight. My dad wanted to send Ruddock home to his family and children safe! Not in a body bag. Ruddock came off canvas from a one punch devastating knock down. The next knock down was when the ropes prevented Ruddock from going down. That’s in the rule book if ropes prevent a fighter from going down. Lastly Ruddocks head snapping back Dangerous sign! Time to stop fight

I see what you are saying, but right before the stoppage, Ruccock's head whipped back to almost 90 degrees from one of Morrison's punches. Almost every time you see that, they stop the fight. There is a possible neck injury and brain bruising from it hitting the back wall of his skull more violently than from other punches. There was little left but pain and brain damage for Razor. Heavyweight fights are like near death experiences. Seconds can be the difference between temporary and serious permanent injury.

I would say an early stoppage as well but again Razor or his corner didn’t put up much of an argument as soon as it was stopped. I’m assuming later they did. Razor was no doubt dazed and tired so perhaps he had to get his head cleared and a short rest before he could say it was stopped too early.
