The ref always has discretion to stop the fight if a fighter isn't intelligently defending himself just like in MMA.
Additionally, I've seen people complaining about Conor not getting a standing 8 count. That rule hasn't existed in pro boxing for nearly 20 years.
Although, I won't hold that one against MMA fans. There were a shitload of boxing fans who were confused about that after the Ward/Kovalev 2 debacle earlier this summer.
Yeah I started a thread about the standing 8. That would have been a better way to go than stopping it. If Conor knew that was coming he would have opted to take a knee and get a break
