Jeff Horn vs Michael Zerafa boxing fight

[Bobby]

.......... The ref should have stopped it earlier. .........

Not really. His corner could have stopped it too.
They are professionals, it is boxing. It's not a game of snooker.

His manager should have thrown in the towel.
Does he have to risk brain damage of his boxer for nothing?
The fight was lost when Horn was on the canvas &
was obviously wobbly on his feet but on it went.

yes, it was more his managers call. They have a few seconds to decide on the spot.
A good boxer can throw 4 punches in that time and there will be 2 punches already 'on the way'.
Boxing is not the the delicate

No way I would get into a ring.

I've sparred where we both had training gloves full of soft sponge
and I always ended up getting hit hard in the head.
It's not something I would ever have done with proper gloves.
It's a brutal sport.
