Top 10 Times Fighters Refused to Hit Their Opponent

[Music] welcome to entertainment the channel with the most deceptive name in all of youtube today we'll be looking at fighters who stopped themselves from hitting their opponents some of these stop themselves right mid swing when told by the referee why well just because they're nice people and didn't want to cheat others though had to beg the referee to stop the fight because their opponent was taking a beating that was completely unnecessary and the fight needed to be stopped sometimes the referee just messes up and luckily these fighters were nice enough to stop themselves from hurting someone let's get started [Music] let's start off with this fight between roy jones jr and brian brannan this was a pretty quick fight and it went into the second round where jones was very much in his prime still undefeated so he was putting a real beating on poor brannon and put him down in the second round power over that extended arc every punch is being blocked by roy jones he lets the guy throw his punches and he's okay now it's my turn [Applause] brandon was able to recover from the shot and got up but was visibly hurt the threatened cow crowd can't believe what they're seeing they were against roy jones and their man is just getting hammered in there now ron lipton watching as roy jones tattoos and then jones says look you want more okay yeah maybe the fight should have been stopped when jones said or maybe earlier because brandon was almost out on his feet apparently the referee later stated that brandon had seen him the night before at a restaurant and told him not to stop the fight prematurely so he said he was going to give both fighters the benefit of the doubt and only stopped it once he was on the canvas jones was landing too cleanly before the knockout for him not to stop the fight though but brannon appealed to his former boxing career and told him that this was his big shot and he gave it to him [Music] this is probably some of them this is an incredible stop by this kickboxer who was putting a pretty good beating on her opponent and in one of those sequences this incredible pullback happens that body kick was devastating and her opponent was unable to cover up and she was completely uncovered luckily the ref called for a standing account which stopped the onslaught but that kick was going with full power right to her head how did she manage to pull it back the girl is extremely lucky that the referee was so good and that her opponent has incredible strength and reflexes to stop that head kick now we have this mma fight between mike pontenko and jeremy razor pantenko was winning the fight big time putting on a serious beating on poor razer but then suddenly the most unexpected thing happened yeah you just saw that right that guy winning the fight tapped out pantenko could have been a terrible guy and could have just kept teeing off on this poor guy but instead he took the loss in order to save this poor guy this was his explanation i just feel that it's my point fighting him because he didn't train against me and i didn't train for him and i just feel like we're amateur fighter we don't get money you don't get paid and i know that the only thing i'm gonna finish the party is him to go in hospital or get hurt i just feel like terrible so i'm just gonna give him the win the only question i have is does razer feel any resentment or anger towards pantenko from possibly making him look bad i hope not and hope he understands that he was getting destroyed and based on these images i think he did carlos monson had an amazing career fighting 100 times and only lost three of them in his final fight against rodrigo valdez which was their second meeting after manson won the first fight monsoon was defending his belt and he even got knocked down in this fight in the second round well there's nothing pulled here those punches are really sinking in all delivered with a knuckle part hard punches oh that's that's the first time that monsanto then later in the third round valdez slipped in the corner and manson held himself back leaning rather heavily to say the least at one another close in and there's bound to be some cuts hole that was a good side step by the matador there and he's perfectly in order too monsoon could have easily let go of his hands landing punches on valdez who wouldn't be able to really defend himself but instead he held back and let him get situated again this is incredible restraint by monson and it just makes him look like a great and respectable champion monsoon did end up winning the fight by unanimous decision back in 2015 willis meehan was boxing against liami tattoo in the heavyweight division and was beating him really clearly they closed out the first round with tattoo barely being able to stand in the corner and meehan was looking at the ref with disgust already [Applause] in the second round meehan was landing clean heavy punches once again and tattoo was clearly out on his feet but the referee just kept watching like an idiot how bad do you have to be at your job that the fighter himself has to tell you to stop the fight because the opponent is clearly out and is receiving unnecessary damage those were 42 seconds that were completely unnecessary i love how megan hugs tattoo and keeps the ref away from him since he obviously doesn't care about his health at all nigel ben was a very hard-hitting middleweight champion that had 35 knockouts in his 42 wins in one of his early career fights against ian chandler it took one round for the fight to end fights and he's just for the first time from terry marsh but my money was the first punch of the fight from ben bang on the button and you've got to say ben could have easily landed two or three more shots on chandler in the sequence but he showed his great sportsmanship in restraint by holding back knowing that chandler was already out and this fight was already decided you see tons of fights where boxers keep landing shots even when the opponent has already put his hand or knee on the ground but ben is a really nice boxer [Music] this was a long boxing fight between michael ayers and wayne rigby this was the first of two fights between these two fighters and it was voted as british fight of the year ayers was defending his lightweight title against rigby there's that good combination from ayers britney's teeth just twice but was it enough to win him the round of england [Applause] by the 10th round they were exchanging a crazy amount of punches but rigby was hurt by a couple of right hands and heirs pleaded to the ref to stop the fighting themselves referee takes a very close look at rigby who needs the bell he's got 20 seconds to go he could be stopped here rigby is inviting the referee to stop the fight i don't know if the rest should have stopped this fight but rigby was clearly hurt and was extremely tired almost falling down multiple times it wasn't until ayers and rigby basically agreed to stop the fight right there that the referee finally called an end to the fight it's great to see that heirs didn't want to hurt rigby and that rigby was able to recognize that he was done now we have this boxing fight who many thought was a huge mismatch and never should have happened between the undefeated heavyweight champion larry holmes and marvis frazier who only had 10 fights up to that point the fight only lasted one round including this first knockdown last time up of course fraser was in with joe budner you know he beat the big fellow there out of sight in atlantic city he didn't have him down frazier got up at the count of eight but holmes just moved in to win the fight [Applause] really putting skunk fraser in trouble there will he get over his first round the gunshield comes flying out phil's laying the referee hopefully giving him every chance but it's all one way now and he stopped it holmes was waving to the referee to stop the fight because it was clearly over but he just wouldn't do it until he gave him a couple more heavy punches holmes then explained later that he didn't want to hurt anybody and wanted the referee to step in he also said that the kid wasn't ready and he has a long way to go now we go way back to a boxing fight between bojack and ike williams williams was a champion and jack was trying to regain the title the first three rounds were closed but williams finally started to penetrate jack's defense in the fifth round and in the sixth round he really started to land sharp jolting punches by ike williams williams pouring it on a barrage of punches bojack is in trouble bojack staggers backward into the corner williams pouring it on jolting punches ripping combinations williams asked the referee [Applause] jack was completely out on his feet with williams landing incredibly hard punches but the referee was a complete idiot that day and just kept dancing around trying to look at the fight from all angles but he just couldn't see any reason to stop it i don't know how that's even possible but he didn't stop it until williams asked him to step in and he still refused one more time so williams landed a couple more brutal punches and the ref finally stopped it what a horrible job that was he probably should have stopped it before they even got to the corner these fighters are good and respectable fighters that respect sportsmanship while other fighters like mayweather jr don't really care even after being apologized to by ortiz he still knocked him out in my eyes it was because he was angry and just wanted to get payback but this is a really shitty way to win if you enjoyed this video please give a like and subscribe down below also be sure to turn on
