A referee is supposed to stop a fight whenever a fighter cannot intelligently defend themselves, be it on their feet or on the ground

Those fights where it looks like a war zone still have fighters defending themselves. Conor wasn't at the end.

From the tweet on B2, that's a good stoppage.

Yup. He was taking punches but wasn't offering any resistance. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 07:28
Thus a boxing match versus a UFC fight. -- nm - budice Aug 27, 05:58 4

  - Just my feeling, UFC fights offers more rope given for fighters to get out of situations. Boxing as they say is a sweet science, formalism. -- nm - budice Aug 27, 06:16 2
    - The job is the same. That rope if it exists, just means those refs are worse. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 27, 06:33
    - Thus referees involvement more into keeping it a straight up fight versus an all-out brawl. -- nm - budice Aug 27, 06:18
