Thanks for this.
What a skullcrunching shot. The stoppage weren't that bad. Hazagawa had clealy lost his balance and he looked concussed as he sat and rised, sat and rised in the corner afterwards.
i noticed that as well
it looked like he was perhaps forgetting that he was doing it. he'd sit then think better of it, stand up again, and then go back to the stool.
he's not the fighter he used to be.
he ought to perhaps give some thought to hanging up his gloves if he's got a solid financial situation
that's a great stoppage in my eyes. and i just took a fresh look at the fight for the first time.
if a guy's legs are wobbly after he's dropped but he looks ready to fight (marquez, trinidad, very few others jump to mind) a the referee should allow him to continue fighting
hasegawa didn't look ready to fight in my estimation
he used the ropes to regain his footing, he struggled to turn and face the ref
and the thought of winning a professional prizefight for a world title was clearly out of his mind.
a good recent example is katsidis' droppage of marquez
Marquez was clearly hurt to a point beyond where most fighters (even championship ones,) would be able to continue. But when he got up he walked his way over to bayless and convinced him he ready to fight. When the fighting started he behaved like a professional fighter who was trying to keep a world title.
i was pulling for gonzalez to win, glad he did, i just feel bad for hasegawa, that was a big shot he got tagged by, witha puncher like gonzalez hasegawa is lucky they stopped it, he would've ended up seriously hurt.
either way, the respect that haegawa has for his opponent and the sport is extremely admirable......
good fight.

Only because that Hasegawa got up as soon as he was knocked down. If he would have stayed on the ground until eight, he might have been fight. It was a great shot that wasn't lucky at all, but it's a damn shame for Hasegawa to lose this fight. He was winning pretty comfortably. The first round was close, but the others were clearly Hasegawa. He got hit with a hook here and there, but he was setting up his shots very well.
I wonder what's next for him now.
big fan of japanese boxing events...seen a lot of hozumi fights and in the 3rd round Hasegawa was cleary hurt by a combination that ended with a left hook and lost that round. it was just matter of time.
in the burgos fight he got caught by a monstrous uppercut in the 7th that hurt him badly but he bravely took it. now that set up over right hand last night just put him away.
And this is the Aoh vs Guiterrez full fight on the undercard
now all we need is the Nishioka fight, any1?
Thanks for posting, what an excellent move by Aoh ducking that punch and digging to the body.

at Auh shorts... "Storong like wild grass" :)
i think the hase stoppage is right..to many minutes in clock and jhon will murder him with that time...but if the KD happens at 5 or 10 secs like his last fight..the ref should give him a go.
it was a good stoppage u dumb cunts... he was all wobbly and shyt...

Hasegawa is a fighter whose become so unpredictable. The string of decision wins to start off his career then the first round knockout run recently and now these two losses where he took monstrous lefts and then a right last night. Hope he can recover he's one of my favorites. Congrats to Jhonny.
I saw him using the jab to the body in every round except the fourth round. He caught Hase with a left hand feint to the body with a crushin right over the top. That shiit was beautiful, textbook usage of a feint IMHO.
Yes sir, as usual right on point.
