Explained in plain English

When does a trainer stop a fight?

A trainer 'throwing in the towel' is a crucial decision made to protect their fighter from further injury. It signals to the referee that they want the fight stopped immediately. Itauma's trainer made this call when it was clear Moses was overwhelmed and no longer able to defend himself effectively against Hrgovic.
