One of the few things in the documentary I disagreed with was the referee saying it wasn't his responsibility to pull the fighters out. Sorry, but that's exactly his job. Of course his corner share that responsibility, but all refs have a duty of care to the fighters.
Saying that, a fantastic documentary that put me through a whole range of emotions, exactly what programmes like this should do.
There's an extended version on ITV4 this week, Tuesday I think, and I'd urge anybody with any interest in boxing to watch it.
