FIGHTERS WHO STOPPED THEMSELVES FROM HITTING THEIR OPPONENTS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO NEED TO CONTINUE. Best sportsmanship moments in boxing and mma.
Thank for watching.
Making lists all about mma, boxing, muay thai and all other types of combat sports from major promotions like HBO, UFC, Bellator, Showtime, Triller and others.
This channel is known as the first channel to introduce videos about regular guys challenging professional fighters. These so idiots vs professionals you should think they were going to win. How does a normal man believe that he can challenge a professional fighter and that he will win. It's almost impossible. I have also made videos about martial arts that are useless and you should not spend time learning them. I like to make videos on all types of martial arts including boxing, mma, muay thai, wrestling, and any other type of combat sport. Lastly, knockouts are a fundamental part of these sports and I make a lot of videos about this type of victory.

Should these refs get fired?
Probably lol
Have you guys heard that mike tyson and roy jones are allegedly gonna fight
I see that Bruce Lee isn't that bad after all.
Should these refs get fired? No, but the ref union should have both eyes on the sport. 💯✨👍
Clypedia not allegedly, they are gonna fight
Fighter: Ref, He's OUT! Ref: Yes, But his soul is still in.
Haha legit 😂
@Donna Fighter: He's OUT! Ref: Nah, he's breathing, he can fight!
Lmao!!!
Haha
Thank you. I laughed so hard at this.
One of the most noble things I’ve ever seen in a fight. Taps out to save opponent.
Yeah, he said they weren't getting paid to fight and he refused to cause permanent damage for nothing
Agreed, that was an amazing thing to do. But the Larry Holmes fight with him saying he didn't want to hurt the kid, half heartedly waving the ref in before landing big right bombs repeatedly as if wanting to take his head off. I suppose it takes great restraint to stop yourself throwing more shots when in the heat of battle with the adreneline pumping, much respect to them.
Amateur fights can be pretty dangerous. If the fighters don't get paid, the ref is probably underpaid (if paid at all) and not qualified.
He coudve won without really hurting him any more
Kindness level: ASIAN

Lol
That girl who stopped the kick half way is probably the strictest mental control I have ever seen.
That was crazyyy no way I could have stopped myself
I have seen that technique before. She is proficient enough to change the end target. In this case she pulled the leg back in and went out of range. Angular momentum conservation slowed it down. Spin with hands extened via arms. Feel the blood pool. Then retract arms to chest.

To the champ that tapped out because he didn't want to hurt his opponent , Your heart is bigger than the sport. You are great, much respect.
Strongly agree with you.. He has got a big heart. I RESPECT him for that
I wish I could find anything about how the other fella who ended with the win, I want to know what he felt about the whole thing
@@keeganpoteet It wasn't stupid or disrespectful, it's called humanity. Everybody doesn't have to follow your stupid protocol of pain and hits for glory. It was obvious he was the better fighter, If his opponent got mad, so be it, be a better competitor. If you start mouthing off to him, hopefully he beats the dog shyt out of him. When I boxed and sparred, If my sparring partner wasn't bringing it I got him out of the ring. He wasn't going to make me better. NEXT!
@@keeganpoteet Again, you only make sense to an egotistical maniac. He did what he did and there's nothing you or anybody else can do about it. Even if you signed up for it, people can die in the ring. I've seen greats in boxing matches pull back and call in the ref to stop fights when they were dominating their opponents. Instincts kick in and you can hurt somebody bad. When humanity kicks in, you have to be bigger than the sport. Boxers that killed their opponents in the ring are never the same. Yes it can happen, but what if you can prevent it? I fought amateur, my father fought pro. I've met tons of professional fighters, none of them would say anything dumb and stupid like what you just uttered. You have a lot to learn in life. You're an empty soul. A pathetic one at that.
@@keeganpoteet so are you a MMA pro fighter? If not I don't see how your views on sportsmanship matter.
As a young guy, the most respect, manners, mercy and forbearance I was ever taught was during the time I was part of a local boxing thing where college kids in their spare time taught us boxing, ran a local competition (I did okay, was 3rd ranked out of about 30 kids, but the top two were an entire world above me and the rest). I still think back to that time as being a time in my youth when I wasn't depressed, unhappy. One kid was an unhinged kid with attitude, kept causing trouble, but the college kids running it kept trying to help and guide him. One day that problem kid picked a fight despite the other kid repeatedly trying to talk him down, the problem kid insisted on a fight, then got his ass beat in 30 seconds. The (upper class/influential) parents of the problem kid flapped loudly for days until the college kids were forced to stop mentoring/running the boxing group. You know what almost never happened when we had that group? We weren't getting into bad trouble. We had a focus. We had mentors. We had a community. We had young men slapping us around a bit, making us wannabe young men learn how to be decent men, teaching us discipline. Broke kids were involved (like me), all the way up to kids with rich parents, but we were all friends, we were all equal in that community, we had each other's back. You just can't have nice things, someone can't stand it and has to tear it down.
Can't have men in groups anymore
The Holmes Frazier fight was one of the first fights I ever saw (and remember) as a child. I'll never forget it because of Holmes constantly telling the ref to stop it as he pummeled Frazier in the corner. It was awful refereeing.
Other organizations : we have bad referees UFC : we have Mario "if the head is still attached to the body he can still fight" Yamasaki
Fr tho
Its more boxing, you get hit over and over again until you cant even get up
Baseball has some horrible umps ngl
Referees aren't employed by the organizations. They work for the commissions, so the UFC doesn't get final say in who refs their fights except in places that had no commission, so they had to act as their own. To your point though, Yamasucky is a shit ref haha.
Mario has been banned from UFC for a while now.
Ref:... Boxer: HES OUT! Ref: *Deep voice* FINISH HIM

#9 is the most intresting 2:02
4:00 thats just true sportsmanship man, this is what we need in mma fights, respect, honour and learn when to stop
The first guy popping that guys arm back in, thats what you call a gentleman.
It looks disgusting man my knee popped out and it hurts like hell I couldn’t imagine someone having to do that
MXRDER 8 get it over with quickly. Leave it out like that while waiting for a doctor means tons of swelling and tissue damage.
I tore all the muscles in my arm (rotator cuff, bicep, tricep etc.) And my shoulder popped out over 100 times usually while sitting still on public transport in London which wasn't cool and because of the nature wouldn't pop back in for hours until the surgery, total blessing after I got the surgery.
Craziest part is how he doesn't even really ask for permission before he Yanks it back in. Set aside the fact he may not have succeeded. #balls
omarkaya42 surprise was his advantage plus he probably knows from personal experience.
Refs: “some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make...” Edit: holy fucking shit 5k likes, also, let’s please not start a political war in my reply section...
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, our champion!
Love the Shrek references
Shrek reference? Sounds like every republican governor during covid.
😂
That’s probably what the ref said to Jose Aldo in his most recent fight
This was truly a great watch..seeing people being extremely humble and humane,not wanting to inflict any more damage than neccessary..its awesome seeing acts like this as it reminds me that there are,without a shadow of doubt,genuinely good people in the world. God bless yall n stay safe 🙏✌
That girl pulling back her kick was godlike
*"..I just feel like we're amateur fighters, we don't get money, we don't get paid.. and I know that the only thing I'm going to finish the fight is him to go in the hospital or get hurt."* he has a point damn this guy is smart
Gotta wonder why he is fighting in this way in the first place then
Amateur fights are normal across all combat sports
@@excalibur5434 to get a name for themselves to go into the big leagues.
He said he didn't want to hurt him? He's in the wrong field then.
Cloudy I think the fighter was saying that the other person had potential and a possible Career infront of him ,so it would be beat to not cause any accidental trauma to the opponents
*choked out Fighter : he's out Ref : no he's not If he dies....he dies
"da.fuq get back here.and finish this he still has a a beat"
The guy on bottom is still moving, he's not limp and his eyes are open. To be fair, it's not obvious that he's choked out.
Emmanuel Udoh his eyes are open and while he may not be classically limp, he was certainly out and not moving. If you are an mma ref in bellator and you don’t understand a von Preux (lol) choke when a guy holds on to a guillotine from side control, you should lose your job
It's 2 am and I'm laughing so hard reading this comment
You should honestly always try to avoid permanent damage while fighting someone when you aren’t fighting for your life. Especially while fighting for fun.
#9 is my favorite! Don't see something like that one every day.
Fighters: Nooooooo!! You're suppose to end the fight when the opponent can no longer fight back Ref: haha bell goes ding ding
Don't let others tell you how to think.
That's right. Listen to the first dipshit tell you what to do.
You're not supposed to end the fight when he can't fight back, you end the fight when he is unable to continue fighting, even if that means that he is getting his ass beat, those are the rules, but these fighters are really good people
@Mr.Whiskers Your comeback was just like the fat man with a nunchaku trying to hit Bruce Lee, absolute failure.
Lol
3:34 Dude, watching her stop that kick inches from her opponent's head was the kind of stuff you'd see in anime. That shit was magical.
Especially with that momentum
I think this kick was perfect in every way! Not only did she stop the kick flawlesly, it would have been a perfect hit and most probably a KO. Her quick reflex when she saw the ref coming in probably saved her oponent a few brain cells!
Anthony John Thawng with an upskirt camera angle, but mysterious “lens flair”...?
stop using foul language my friend god does not like that but he will still love you if you repent from your sins
@@h20cozmic84 Don't. Just don't.
These kinds of fighters are the ones I love to see, I've seen this a few times in UFC, and they always earn my respect, they're real sportsmen.
One of the main guidelines in all major martial arts, respect. Every one of these fighters are a a testament to their art.
The guy that fixed his opponents dislocated elbow is a legend
Also very dangerous I dislocated my shoulder twice in a rugby match, had the coaches knock it back the first time but it popped again during the second half was told by doctors I nearly lost my arm as when they popped it back they trapped a nerve
Fèlix Léon damn!!
@Naomi Lotus Justice I was 16, it was the country rugby finals n there was Leicester Tiger scouts there too. I wanted to win.

He did bite his other ear, the second bite was the other ear but he failed to chew it out and spit out like the other one
Such integrity and sportsmanship from fighters with class. My respects.
It's amazing and heartwarming to see true gentlemen in boxing. Class acts are the best!
Boxer: "Ref, he's hurt. Stop the fight." Ref: "No, he's not. Smash his face in some more." Boxer: "Yes."
Lmao
More like " *sigh* Fine..."

@@shadownin1188 what's the point of repeating the joke?

The corners also had every opportunity to throw in the towel too.
Thank-you for mentioning that, are those people on a coffee break...why didn't they protect their fighter, its crazy how no one stepped in when so many people watching the fight, even the ring doctors.
It's not really the corners job to stop a fight. We all know the whole throingnin a towel thing, but that is very rare. In fact I was a boxer and the coach would leave it to the fighter. Most of us told him to never stop unless we asked.
@@praetoriangamingandreviews9537 it is the corner job to stop the fight if they see there fighter getting this snot beat out of them they can throw in the towel. If your corner sit by and watch you get beat to hell it's time to look for a new corner your manger should give a crap about you to wanna keep you safe. And if someone tells there corner no matter how much I'm getting beat up don't throw in the towel that's foolish pride and that deadly.
Whats your profile pic from? Looks badass
Michael McGeary it's absolutely the corners job to stop a fight if they think their fighter is taking unnecessary damage and the ref is an idiot
I don’t usually watch boxing, but I am glad to see there are still people out there , even in a brutal sport, have compassion
This might be the best video ive ever seen. ❤✌
Mad respect to fighters who are able to show controlled restraint.
We need more of this in sports, theres nothing weak about showing respect to your opponent
@@Toxyethanol I don't think most fighters deliberately show disrespect, its just difficult to notice the opponent is done while you're simultaneously pumped with adrenaline and trying to concentrate on winning the fight. At least, that's what I assume, having never entered the ring myself.
@@lowtechredneck6704 it's more of an ego/self control thing, if you don't have a huge ego, and can control yourself it's not hard, I did Wrestling for 2 years, it's pretty much like MMA but without kicks and punches, one time I was beating this one guy, he was really tired, so I kinda just double legged him hard, so the ref could stop the fight, because you can't just ask for something like that
@@retribution7529 nah when you are in the zone you dont tend to notice the fight is over unless they have gone down
Should just knock down the opponent if it was me..I don't want to embarrass the opponent by doing that thing...but if I fell pity for the opponent...maybe I can act like I'm really tired after fight or just punch my opponent gently xd
Mike Pantangco is not only clearly the better fighter but also the biggest and most humble of men. IMO that "loss" will show him as a true winner forever. Nothing but respect for you Mike.

For sure but what career you got by doing that... just throw a couple good combos and tell the ref to stop like the rest of the guys on the list. Heart of gold yes but I feel he could've gone a different way about it.
@@felixgutierrez993 Yeah i dont understand why he didnt just throw a few soft punches and make the ref stop the fight... Didnt have to knock the guy out cold to make the referee stop the fight.
@@Ex0rz "soft" punches? bro that can still cause massive damage to someone thats already out
MASSIVE RESPECT to number 7. That guy didn't care about the winning and his explanation was on point. Good heart.
I swear half the time the winners should be going, "Either stop the fight now or YOU are my opponent for the rest of the round!" I cant believe that one where the boxers both just stopped fighting themselves until the ref finally got the point that it was over. It makes you start to ask questions like, "Why are you even HERE if the boxers have to ref themselves?"
0:19 Dude, I have some absolute respect for that guy! He just helped his opponent relocate his arm so he could continue the fight and the fact he didn’t hit back when ever the guy missed the swing. That man deserves a medal for that. Round of applause for him. 👏👏👏
Oh damn man... Good eye.
Even if he didnt win the bout, he won our respect.
The look of confusion from the other opponent gets me
kinda risky though. Imagine it didn't work and he just yanked on the poor guy's arm causing him even more pain/ damage.
@@dreads9536 he knew precisely, what he was doing...and knew you have to do it right away 💪
This isn't just Sportsmanship. It's Humanity, and Honor. On a related note, at least half of those refs need (or needed) to be banned from the sport. Who stands there and watches a man get his brain scrambled when he already lost the fight two minutes ago?
Isn't that what sportsmanship is though? Keeping in mind that you are competing with another human being, not just an obstacle?

RyzenKurt Ritchie in mma you make a mistake you get punched in the face. In reffing mma if you make a mistake you should get punched in the face
@@tuzcan- Don't buy too much into romanticised pre-fight rhetorics, that is only for the hype and add revenue. There are no warriors in the ring, there is no war going on. Nobody with a normal mindset goes to "die" in the ring, and referee's job is to ensure the safety of the contestants. They are sportsmen and women, who have trained their sport diligently, and have lives outside the sport also. Their careers in combat sport will usually end before they turn 40, and then it is time for other things in life, like family, work and friends. Regular life. No warriors, vikings, monsters, knights, gods, but regular people, for most of whom the combat sport is not even a profession, it is a hobby. You want to be able to do stuff in your life also after you quit your hobby. And also "die" a warrior? Not very many die in the ring. Instead if you've met let's say any old boxers who have been subjected to too many fights with the kind of referee work seen in the video, or who have disregarded their safety when training, you would get a reality check. No warriors, but people, who have difficulties remembering things, speaking and understanding. And for what? Absolutely nothing.

"ref, with all due respect - i'm the one hitting him, and i can feel his face. that's the face of a dude who just got ktfo."
I guess we know how the ref bet......
ref 100% got a large enough bribe to make what happened happen. most of the refs in this video were bought. its easy to see
@@tjhall1000 when you buy out the ref, but get killed as a result of it
@@tjhall1000 Not necessarily bought, maybe they just don't give a shit about these being actual people. Edit: On the other hand, I'm guessing that referees that are considered to call out too early (or whatever the correct term is) receive a lot of shit for doing so).
Ref: HIT HIM MORE!! boxer: but ref, he's out? Ref: JUST DO IT!!
"ratings are down, kid. you hit 'em again or i'll tell the judges that YOU'RE the one knocked out."
"trust me, im professional"
I knew mike at this time and this is a perfect example of his character he’s crazy gentle and calm outside of the ring and a beast inside overall great guy
#8 Holmes vs Frazier. I wondered if it would make the list. I watched that fight live with my step-father (who was a huge boxing fan) when I was only 13. My step-father passed away 30 years ago and this brings back memories of my (short) time with him.
5:08 bruh i thought that was Bruce lee
Me too , until he got knocked down
Same
muja MR he does look a bit like bruce
me too
Lol....yoooo me too
When the ref's so bad that even your opponent saves you from him.
tnats another level of bad
I long that he tapped, you can tell that it was sincere ❤️
The classiest fights I've ever seen.
🤣🤣🤣in the second to last fight. I assume Holmes is waving the ref over but because of the framing of the camera it looks like he comically winding up his punches
He isn't saving anybody, those are called "bolo punches" hes just doing his best Ali.
@@Clubber-Slang he looked toward the ref as he waved his hand
Fighter: Ref, He's OUT! Ref: Yes, But his soul is still in.
@@jordanmiller4487 you just copied someone elses comment lol from 1month ago nice dude Edit: make it 2 months ago
@@eeeduck8484 Dude, no one cares
Lololo at 10:10 i thought he was powering up his punches 🤣🤣🤣
Emmanuel Augustus style
Me too 😂
Me tooooo was he actually calling the ref??
@@lyes0 he was waving the ref to step in
I thought it was some razzle dazzle
#5 made me smile... That's Sportsmanship right there..
Listen I know everyone is talking about number 9 but number 5 is the best show of sportsmanship I’ve ever seen and I think will ever that was so good of that man
#7 SHOULD have been #1
Seriously. Such heart. That’s REAL heart.
In my opinion, he kinda embarrassed the other guy. It’s probably a bitter taste in his mouth knowing that he didn’t deserve that win. It’s kind of a pity win. It would have been better if they just agreed to stop and the guy that was winning won.
@@willyc2051 Ultimately he did it outta respect but I could see that being a better way to handle it. Well said.
@@willyc2051 who knows... that ref might also be an idiot when the fighter asks to stop the fight but refuses like the other refs in this vid. The guy also said that it wasn't worth hurting his opponent because they don't even get paid to do that.
it was a fight with no investment, so the threshold for giving up despite being winning by a lot is infinitely lower
I like 7 and 8 best. 8 because that's honestly just impressive going from being about to take someone's head off to not even touching them. And 7 because accepting a loss for the sake of your opponent is pretty honourable.
I'm not sure that wasn't a lady boy 🧐
that may weather in the last clip was satisfying,
#7 is a real man. good shit
Roy didn't refuse to hit him...he didn't want to, but he still whap whapped him.
That's the main idea of the video. They had to keep hitting cuz the ref was an idiot.
@@MMA-Beast Senpai...
@@psycosis12 oh no.....
@@supersandwich8967 OHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAH
@P M B Montell was a bitch boy. He fakes being knocked out the first fight, then really got knocked out on the second. He was talking so much trash
I love how that ref in the last video jumped in and protected the fighter as though _he_ made the call to stop the fight. Dude, the opponent _asked_ you to stop that shit like 5 seconds prior but you wanted him to keep beating on the guy.
Lmao i laughed so hard on that last one
😳🤨
But... refs stop the fight a lot more quickly in the modern era than back then. For an example of the change, the 3 knockdown rule was decades away when that fight happened, people expected fighters to keep going as long as they could be on their feet. Yes, boxers got a lot more concussions and brain damage, that's why the rules were finally changed. But the fact that stuff happened shows what was normal in that era. The ref was only a little bit slower than the norm. Btw, do people nowadays know the term "punch drunk"? That was the term for a retired fighter who permanently sounded drunk because of the accumulated brain damage. It was common enough that there was a slang term for it.
#9 was literally skipped. Great editing
