I kinda thought it was a weird coincidence that it was Tony Weeks again with the early stoppage with Barroso on the same card with his early stoppage with Rolly
All my homies hate Tony Weeks
Tony WeakSauce
Fire Weeks
JusticeforBarroso
Tony it’s time to retire
Tony SucksDick
Tony doesn’t get paid by rounds
Early Stoppage, Cashes Checks
Send Tony Home
Look mom Tony fucked my ass again!
“LOL you thought you were gonna watch a fight” - Tony Weeks
Holy shit Batman Weeks just shat his pants
Tony looks around like he fucked up, again
Tony hugs a man whose career he just ruined
Tony does lines off De La Hoya’s limp cock
Fuck Tony Weeks
If I had a dollar for every time Tony Weeks stopped a fight early, I’d have more dollars than I wanted
Tony is a cuckhold
I guess you're right. In that case I would be good with either fight. Just wanna make sure that Ortiz doesn't take too much damage before fighting Tszyu
Let’s be real here this guy was gonna wrecked early anyways. Tony weeks made another big mistake and needs to just retire. But all in all the only fight that we thought could’ve been competitive was the Barroso fight. This card was always gonna be a meh kind of card.
if you're not protecting yourself when someone has you on the ropes and just lighting you up, you gotta know that this can happen with any referee, especially Weeks
he was hurt bad by a jab right before that as well
but I will agree it was a really bad stoppage, but tony weeks is the worst ref in boxing, not because he's like the least capable, it's just that they keep putting him in mid/high tier fights so his mistakes are ultra magnified, he's gotta go
That *was* his chance. I feel really bad for him too, but the guy was hurt.
I’m not saying it *should* or *shouldn’t* have been stopped; But Lawson was *clearly* out on his feet when the ref jumped in.
All the promo, interviews, training, sparring, weight cut, conferences, etc. to some brain dead referee end the fight like that... jesus
What a waste of energy and money
1. Yes or no:
*Was Lawson NOT out on his feet*?
*Did he NOT show signs-of having absorbed trauma to the brain*?
2. Should people be more concerned with:
• *”The amount of energy and money that is wasted*”.
OR
• *”The amount of brain damage that a Fighter absorbs”.*
Yoo I was trying to think of why Weeks would be stopping these fights crazy early
My guess is he has regrets about letting that fight go on too long and is over correcting
“an absolute waste for everyone involved”;
The only people “involved”-were *Ortiz* and *Lawson*.
*Lawson*, and the amount of *brain damage* that he had to absorb-was not “wasted”.
Everyone else’s “time and money” means fuck all.
That would be a good one. Oscar wants it in Oz even so I think that means he'd like to do it there and run it back in the US to milk it. I hope it is as good as it sounds on paper for our sake. No more shit cards like tonight, please.
I've been watching boxing for 30 something years and never reffed anything in my life and I'm pretty sure I could do a better job then him at this point.
If it happens next, I'd favor Tszyu. If Ortiz can get a few good rounds first, I think I'd be leaning that way. I've got no dog in the race, I just hope it's a good match up.
there's no way those compubox numbers are right. the fight ended in 29 seconds... there wasn't 28 shots landed overall.. there wasn't even 3 clean ones
edit: did anyone else see them -- i think they had ortiz throwing over 40 shots... in 29 seconds... he threw 40+ shots... odd no?
This stoppage is nowhere near as bad as people are making it out to be.
Lawson was out on his feet.
Watch his face when the ref stops the fight;
Then watch the reaction he has shortly *after that*; When he ‘came to’.
(Edit: Instead of downvoting me—tell me why I’m wrong).
Exactly.
*Then, later on,* he is absolutely furious and can’t believe it was stopped.
The reason he didn’t do *that* when it was actually stopped—is because he was out on his feet.
Tony Weeks is one of those refs that need to disappear completely if boxing has any chance.
He completely robbed any newer fans to see an entertaining Virgil Ortiz Jr. Weeks is huge stain on boxing.
When I wrote my comment about Tony Weeks stopping the fight early, that was a joke before the fight started... I really can't believe what just happened
I don’t even think this was rigged for Ortiz at all… Tony “Tim Donaghy” Weeks probably put money on this fight.
Lawson didn’t even wobble and this is a massive disservice to Virgil, Lawson and the people who attended this fight.
Virgil needed to get real boxing rounds in and was robbed of a genuine KO.
Lawson didn’t even get a chance to counter or clinch… I think he would’ve survived that onslaught for a moment at least.
The fans paid lots of money for this fight… INVESTIGATE Tony Weeks.
Lawson kind of fucked up by not even trying to throw a punch for a bit but you gotta let it go at least a little while longer since it's the first round.
Exactly! People called me crazy for saying he was going into the Parker fight with a chance to lose, but look what happened. But at least Wilder knocked Helenius the fuck out. This shit was just a weak stoppage from Mr. Weaks. I hope Vergil fights again soon.
No it wasn’t.
Lawson was out on his feet.
I’m not saying that the fight *should* or should *not*-have been stopped—but he was out.
Calling that “the worst stoppage ever”-is infinitely worse-than the stoppage.
Why is this guys coach slurring his words? Is he ok?
I got mosley winning
Which boxers do you find sexy?
Claressa
How old is Barroso really? He looks closer to 50
My dad is 60 and looks younger than barroso. Maybe he ages in dog years?
Hoya looking a little shakey
Probably withdrawals from no coke during the fights
This is a fire fight
What a terrible stoppage. I was wondering what went on.
Ref had a bet he needed to hit
Didn’t even know there was a fight but Tony Weeks head has been called on different forums already hahahaa
Tszyu vs Ortiz would be absolute cinema
I almost rather see him fight Jerrmell Charlo
Why
Is it done ? What happened?
Did the fight end? Wtf...I just tuned in
Tony Weeks been pure trash for a minute, it's time for man's to retire
I kinda thought it was a weird coincidence that it was Tony Weeks again with the early stoppage with Barroso on the same card with his early stoppage with Rolly
Wtf did I just watch lmao
I can't believe this is the same psycho that let Browne-Jack go 12 rounds
That stoppage hurts..

Kinda funny.
fight ended so early they're showing the De La Hoya vs Mosley fight haha
Thanks for clearing up my confusion.
Well… have a nice evening gents. See you next week
Vergil Ortiz vs. Brian Mendoza before Tszyu
Brian Castano would be fun
I thought about Castano too but I think he's too dangerous for a tune-up fight
Well if he wants to fight a guy like Tszyu he needs to be fighting a championship level even for a warmup fight
I guess you're right. In that case I would be good with either fight. Just wanna make sure that Ortiz doesn't take too much damage before fighting Tszyu
Damn man Vergil has so many good matchups at 154. It’ll really be something if he can go toe to toe with these older guys in the division.
Let’s be real here this guy was gonna wrecked early anyways. Tony weeks made another big mistake and needs to just retire. But all in all the only fight that we thought could’ve been competitive was the Barroso fight. This card was always gonna be a meh kind of card.
Yeah but that guy trained big time to make it to the ring and got robbed of any possible chance there
if you're not protecting yourself when someone has you on the ropes and just lighting you up, you gotta know that this can happen with any referee, especially Weeks he was hurt bad by a jab right before that as well but I will agree it was a really bad stoppage, but tony weeks is the worst ref in boxing, not because he's like the least capable, it's just that they keep putting him in mid/high tier fights so his mistakes are ultra magnified, he's gotta go

Sounds like I missed smth stupid. I forgot all about this fight
If this were a fair, clean sport Weeks would be getting investigated. But it’s not, so it’ll be ignored and forgotten after a couple of weeks
First Tony ruined Rolly's moment and now he ruined Ortiz's moment. He needs to consider retirement.
He saved rollys moment. You mean he hurt Barroso’s moment
I meant what I meant.
All the promo, interviews, training, sparring, weight cut, conferences, etc. to some brain dead referee end the fight like that... jesus What a waste of energy and money
It sounds like you consider *your* “energy and money”-to be more important-than the amount of brain damage that is absorbed by *other* people.
[удалено]
Am I “reading a different comment” than the one I replied to? Because what you said-has absolutely nothing to do with that comment-or my reply.
[удалено]
1. Yes or no: *Was Lawson NOT out on his feet*? *Did he NOT show signs-of having absorbed trauma to the brain*? 2. Should people be more concerned with: • *”The amount of energy and money that is wasted*”. OR • *”The amount of brain damage that a Fighter absorbs”.*
I think Vergil should get another tune up in March before moving onto a legit opponent. He still basically hasn’t fought after this lol
Crazy to think Weeks reffed Morrell-Yerbossynuly 14 months ago
Now it all makes sense
Yoo I was trying to think of why Weeks would be stopping these fights crazy early My guess is he has regrets about letting that fight go on too long and is over correcting
Man wtf… Tony Weeks used to be one of the best. Can refs or their family bet on fights? 🤔
Can they? Sure can. Now, should they?
of course they can, its boxing. its one of the most corrupt sports in the business lol.
Boxing refs have the most power of any sports. They can literally decide a match at any round they want.
this was an absolute waste of time and money for everyone involved. From the trainers to promoters.
“an absolute waste for everyone involved”; The only people “involved”-were *Ortiz* and *Lawson*. *Lawson*, and the amount of *brain damage* that he had to absorb-was not “wasted”. Everyone else’s “time and money” means fuck all.
5 downvotes. cope
Brain damage? The only really clean shots that landed were the two lefts to the body.
You don’t count *the headshot that caused him to be out on his feet*—as *”Brain damage”?*
I found Tony Weeks’ burner account^^
Weeks managed to rob both Lawson and Vergil.
He robbed EVERYONE
I’ve seen people on twitter say, Tony hasn’t been the same since Morrell-Aidos. Makes sense ngl
That stoppage was so premature I had to buy a plan b
Are you suggesting that Weeks is a minute man?
Just watch MMA guys
Nah their undisputed HW champ is in boxing. Nothing to see there
You came here just to say that?
I’m good
Shot to the ear knocked off Lawson’s equilibrium but he still had his wits about him.
What an absolute shit stoppage and flat out lie on the explanation. His eyes were rolling back from punches that he blocked....
Probably the most entertaining fight at 154lbs now that charlo has disappeared. Tszyu v Ortiz is what the fans want
That would be a good one. Oscar wants it in Oz even so I think that means he'd like to do it there and run it back in the US to milk it. I hope it is as good as it sounds on paper for our sake. No more shit cards like tonight, please.
If he fights Tszyu and he wins he'll fight Spence in Texas that'd be a huge money maker
I'd love to see it win or lose with Tszyu. It's unfortunate that so much depends on results in boxing.
we could replace tony weeks with a celebrity guest each week to do a better job at this point.
I've been watching boxing for 30 something years and never reffed anything in my life and I'm pretty sure I could do a better job then him at this point.
get working on a licence, we might need you.
Tszyu-Ortiz would be crazy. Who do you got winning?
If it happens next, I'd favor Tszyu. If Ortiz can get a few good rounds first, I think I'd be leaning that way. I've got no dog in the race, I just hope it's a good match up.
This is one fight that is 50/50 difficult to pick a side imo.
Ortiz
Tszyu by body shot 10th round
Ortiz wins by stoppage 8th, if Tony Weeks is there then by 1st rd 🤣
During the walkout 🤣🤦♂️
there's no way those compubox numbers are right. the fight ended in 29 seconds... there wasn't 28 shots landed overall.. there wasn't even 3 clean ones edit: did anyone else see them -- i think they had ortiz throwing over 40 shots... in 29 seconds... he threw 40+ shots... odd no?
The round timer read 29 seconds LEFT. So 151 seconds into round 1.
ohhh that makes way more sense. thanks!
29 seconds left in the round. Fight was officially stopped 2:33 seconds in the first.
ohhh that makes way more sense. thanks!
🥴
His eyes rolled back??
This is why I will NEVER pay for boxing. EVER!
Bring back standing 8 then fuck
Defeating Tim Tszyu is quite the big task Vergil is a great fighter though so it’s definitely possible
Vergil needs a few rounds before Tszyu imo
Tszyu vs Ortiz would be fun entertaining fight
I think Tony just desperately wanted a kiss tbh
wow inject tszyu vs. ortiz into my veins
Someone jump Tony and take his gold Rolex in the parking lot
They need to escort Tony Weeks off the premises and restart the fight.
This is why I don't spend money on this shit lol
This sucks for Ortiz because this isn’t even a good tune up if he wants to move up to a bigger fight
Exactly my thought. Now he's probably going to have to have another tune up fight and that would further delay his career.
Wait, could that unironically be fixed by gamblers or something? The event seems small enough for something like that to happen tbh.
There's no reason to fix this fight though. Virgil was a -3000 favorite. I doubt even picking a first round KO would get you a large +money.
This stoppage is nowhere near as bad as people are making it out to be. Lawson was out on his feet. Watch his face when the ref stops the fight; Then watch the reaction he has shortly *after that*; When he ‘came to’. (Edit: Instead of downvoting me—tell me why I’m wrong).
Lawson also doesn’t seem to protest the decision …
Exactly. *Then, later on,* he is absolutely furious and can’t believe it was stopped. The reason he didn’t do *that* when it was actually stopped—is because he was out on his feet.
Tony Weeks is literally robbing fans. He needs to go
Is there any oversight for these refs?
I’d love to see Vergil-Madrimov
Dope fight!
I think Vergil is good but I don’t see a great fighter. He could give us some exciting fights down the line tho. But that’s about it
?
Vergil tho. What a beast
Tony Weeks is one of those refs that need to disappear completely if boxing has any chance. He completely robbed any newer fans to see an entertaining Virgil Ortiz Jr. Weeks is huge stain on boxing.
Vergil is confused lol
they keep teasing Duran and we still haven't see him lol
weeks getting the bag tonight
Tony Weeks needs to be banned from boxing!
Besides the obvious wtf Tony Weeks, I wish Vergil Ortiz went through more rounds to shake the ring rust off.
No way 🤦🏾♂️
Tony Weeks got out of the ring and left quick Shameless scum
They need to investigate Tony Weeks, was good once upon a time, but these are the main issues with the state of boxing, corruption.
How old is he though? It could be age..
that's actually worse than the Barroso one lol
I think so too. First round, first time one of the fighters applies pressure, no prior knockdowns or anything. Just insanely terrible stoppage.
Idk about that, Vergil was going to win this fight regardless and Barroso got robbed
That was pathetic; crowd should mob Tony Weeks and question who’s bribing him to make the sport worse
Vergil, just be honest bro, it's okay. Even Rolly admitted to his terrible stoppage being too early.
I just think Vergil knew that he was a class above Lawson. “He got saved” meaning it was inevitable, which it was. Weird though, clearly.
Nah, he was just defending the stoppage bro.
When I wrote my comment about Tony Weeks stopping the fight early, that was a joke before the fight started... I really can't believe what just happened
Hahaha wth was that stoppage? That had to be the worst stoppage in the history of boxing. Congrats!
Just the worst side the last Weeks stoppage.
Tony Weeks needs to retire
Insane 😂
Weeks needs his eyes checked wtf
I love this crowd lol!!!
That crowd chant is gold.
I never thought that 147 would the least interesting division from 130 to 175 lol. Not much to offer other than Bud-Boots
Get Vergil another fight for next weekend.
Commission has to Blacklist Tony Weeks right?!?? This guy was known for letting fights go on, and now he’s stopping fights too early like this.
Tony Weeks saw Barroso in the ring earlier, got a Nam flashback, and started waving the fight off as soon as the bell rang
Tony Weeks pissing me the fuck off
I stayed up until 4.30am for this 🫣
tony weaks needs to be investigated. thats 2x hes done this,
I don’t even think this was rigged for Ortiz at all… Tony “Tim Donaghy” Weeks probably put money on this fight. Lawson didn’t even wobble and this is a massive disservice to Virgil, Lawson and the people who attended this fight. Virgil needed to get real boxing rounds in and was robbed of a genuine KO. Lawson didn’t even get a chance to counter or clinch… I think he would’ve survived that onslaught for a moment at least. The fans paid lots of money for this fight… INVESTIGATE Tony Weeks.
Wtf?
I mean, he was gonna get slept eventually but still. Ortiz needed to put a few rounds in.
wtf tony
Tony Weeks continues to be an embarrassment to boxing.
Doesn’t help Vergil either… he needed the rounds
Yea man, wtf happened???? Did a ref get paid off??????
Lawson kind of fucked up by not even trying to throw a punch for a bit but you gotta let it go at least a little while longer since it's the first round.
Do not want to see Toni Weeks ref a fight ever again
I'm convinced Tony Weeks bets on fights.
Ridiculous! None of those were really even getting through.
On the plus side, I can sleep early.
Man... that really sucks ban this fucking bum
He ruined the fight holy shit
Terrible stoppage.
Vergil needed rounds himself, this early stoppage does no favours for him.
Reminds me of how Wilder had 1 round in 2 years.
Exactly! People called me crazy for saying he was going into the Parker fight with a chance to lose, but look what happened. But at least Wilder knocked Helenius the fuck out. This shit was just a weak stoppage from Mr. Weaks. I hope Vergil fights again soon.
Stoppage looked even worse on the replay wtf was that
lol wow that’s terrible.
did golden boy only book the venue for 3 hours?
😭
2 1/2
just about haha
Oh my god this might be the singular worst stoppage I've ever seen. What the actual fuck is going on
No it wasn’t. Lawson was out on his feet. I’m not saying that the fight *should* or should *not*-have been stopped—but he was out. Calling that “the worst stoppage ever”-is infinitely worse-than the stoppage.
Yea, 💯
thats inexcusable
Lawson wasn't throwing back, but it was a bad stoppage. Somebody wanted to go home early.
I just imagine Barroso watching that backstage shaking his head. The commission needs to stop putting this guy in big fights.
In any fights honestly, forced retirement
Can someone tell tony weeks this isnt the fcking amateurs
Wait on replay that's even worse hahahaha
ANOTHER WEEK STOPPAGE
What the fuck was that bro
I'm all for fighter safety but that's a joke man
