terrible stoppage, and on my scorecard had Oganov winning the last two rounds since Dirrell wasn't doing anything other then running the last two rounds since he tired himself out from the first round throwing a ****-load of punches.
Definitely an early stoppage! The referee seemed to be looking for an excuse to stop the fight.
That's why some Europeans are reluctant to fight in the US - early stoppages by home referees and bad scoring by home judges.
Dirrell fans won't admit it but Dirrell was clearly slowing down while Oganov was gaining the momentum. One of the worst stoppages of this year. It's not saying that the outcome wouldn't have been the same since I favored Dirrell to win but Dirrell clearly burnt himself out in the first round.
