Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito fight.?

Due to his injuries, Margarito's post-fight interview was skipped and he was sent directly to the hospital after the fight, wherein Margarito had to undergo surgery as it was discovered that his right orbital bone had been fractured.

In the post-fight interview, Pacquiao was asked if he held back during the last round, and Pacquiao said he just let the 3 minutes run out and that "Boxing is not for killing" (quote). Pacquiao also stated "I did not want to damage him permanently. That's not what boxing is about."

In you opinion, what's the reason that the referee didn't stop the fight, besides from those injuries committed by Margarito, would it be necessary to continue?

Update:

EDIT:

We all has different views but what happened to Margarito will going to affect his career, it would be a sad news for him and his family, whenever such injury will cause him to rest for awhile or the reason that he can't fight anymore.

    I believe the referee didn't stop the fight because he wanted to give Margarito and his corner the oppurtunity to finish the fight or stop it themselves. The towel should have been thrown in in the 9th round, maybe earlier, but Margarito has a lot of pride and finished it out.

    Margarito denied understanding with regard to the handwraps. there is not any info to coach he knew approximately it, subsequently like all suspects of any crime, Margarito ought to get carry of the income of the doubt. What if he particularly became into harmless? Is it truthful for him to go through the penalty? besides, he has been suspended for a 300 and sixty 5 days already. He has served the term sans confirmation if he's to blame or not. although i'm nevertheless demise the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather bout, i might say Margarito nevertheless deserve a shot in scuffling with Manny.

    @summer and carl?

    what happened to the rule "only the referee can stop the fight"?

    it is the referee's fault...if he stopped the fight at the 9th...damages must have been prevented

    that ref is the same ref during the first pac/barerra match wherein he called a knockdown when pac slipped and called it a slip when pac knocked barerra down..obviously that id!ot doesnt like pac...

    and i'm sure it is the last time he'll earn bigtime from manny's fights.
