Unbeaten Kiwi heavyweight prospect Willis Meehan (4-0, 3KO) was in action in his native land when he notched his latest victory over a teak-tough veteran.
With Meehan's opponent, Leamy Tato, taking a blood-splattering pummelling against the ropes, Meehan turned to the referee and demanded that he step in to end the one-sided beating.
Stop the fucking fight!!!
Meehan is heard roaring at a referee whose reactions and judgement should surely be called into question for allowing the shellacking to continue up until that point, but who thankfully stopped the fight on Meehan's request.
It's a bizarre combination of pugilistic violence and top sportsmanship that only combat sports can produce.
Meehan was quick to check on his overmatched opponent after the referee stepped in.
