Lately, I have been dissapointed with the refs in UFC. However, I think the ref made some controversial but good decisions in this match. He did not stop the fight in round 2. Good decision. Kimbo was not being seriously harmed from those very light hits. True, Kimbo was not fighting back or defending but there did not seem to be a need to block those lights hits, except to avoid stoppage by ref.
In round 3, Thompson's eyes tell me that he must not continue fighting. I don't know if the ref stopped it because of the blood or Thompson's eyes or both, but Thompson must not continue at that point because it looked like he was only semi-conscious, especially since Kimbo can cause severe damage with only one punch. Kimbo looked very tired, more tired than thompson, at the end but his eyes were normal.
