Boxing on DAZN 20:41 - Nov 7 with 363 viewsmax936

Tonight, just watched the Brad Rea v Ezra Taylor fight, Rea sparked Taylor he was on the floor with his eyes rolled back in his head, he stagged to his feet clearly unsteadily and the ref resumed the fight and Rea put him on the floor as expected, the ref should never have let the fight go on, no wonder we see and hear of fighters getting injured, disgraceful Taylors corner could and should have intervened as well.

It's all to do with TV viewing figures. Most viewers are there for the big knock-outs rather than to see a real pugilist at work. Therefore the referees have to send lambs to the slaughter, rather than stop the fight. We saw it recently when a referee twice kicked the towel out of the ring, when the boxer was in no position to defend himself. It needs to stop, but DAZN are only interested in money.

The referee is the sole arbiter. At least the referee took personal responsibility. I recall it was a woman referee. In that fight the fighter was still punching although out classed. He was not in distress and still game.

I agree that there have been bad cases of the referee not stopping the g fight earlier. I just think your example is not one of them.

The CBS was on Zuffa which is owned by the odious Dan White and part of the Saudi family. Boxing fans in UK should snub this firm.

He may well be odious so I would think that you and him would get along very well, very well indeed.
