Don't know that he didn't?
Maybe it was a correct stoppage?
Maybe fighters believe their sevonds too much?
To repeat I don't necessarily claim the stoppage was wrong. (Read previous message.)
I take umbrage with the manner in which Shields handled the situation.
I challenge you to watch the footage and argue that Shield's had not already made up his mind before Chavez sat down; that Shields was trying to talk Chavez out of thr fight.
Again, maybe he was truly protecting the kid based on the pervious round's action, as I stated above. But it was the best round of the fight, at least the fans thought so.
I have never before wittnessed a second try to talk a kid out of fighting. Very odd behavior.
Usually they push them, sometimes when they shouldn't.
Like I said to Queen, Shields has some Richard Steele in him.
Does that mean he's crooked or being properly safe? I don't know!

It wouldn't argue he had more in him but he was way behind on the cards and was taking clean shots.

He took a beating in that last round and the fight seemed to be going one way.

Since Jesus weren't as big and strong as Castillo, thus whooping l'l floydy to a lesser degree, it was important to stop the fight with the first set of significant punches landed by l'l floydy who always had problems vs smallish swarmers.

"First set of significant punches landed" another objectively false and totally laughable statement.

Well, they weren't as wide #1, and #2 they were either way fights unlike Mayweather-Chavez which Floyd was winning clearly.

Still, legally he was forced to pay Manny a civil settlement as well as publish letter of apology for his slander.
