gnasher16 30,598 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Dont think the 3 knockdown rule is used at all anymore but wouldnt swear to it.......it was brought in to compensate for a bad referee or save a fighter from himself.....but it was bollocks......I remember when Nigel Benn went to america to fight Barklay he knew he would struggle to knock him out as he was a tough guy but he could get him down 3 times no problem......and thats exactly how the fight went.....Barklay wasnt badly hurt..........same with Bonecrusher Smith when he fought Witherspoon came out and put him down 3 times through brute force Witherspoon wasnt even hurt,it was a silly rule. As regards a corner stopping a fight only the referee can stop a fight......he,s within his rights to throw the towel back out ( as has happened a few times ) its his call.....but 99 times out of 100 he will accept a corners retirement. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
