What a WAR! While Marquez vs Diaz may have been better overall, you're not likely to see any more brutality over four consecutive rounds than Segura vs Canchila II. It was like a mini Hagler vs Hearns. Yeah, Canchilla kept getting dropped but he was landing some hellacious shots himself, Giovanni just has a better chin. Segura didn't walk away unscathed, he took his licks and it showed in the way he carried himself immediately after the fight; he was spent.
As for the controversy after the fight, that dumbass ref didn't hear the bell. Giovanni did what he was supposed to do, continue fighting until the referee broke them. Canchila didn't really take any more significant shots after the bell, the shot that really hurt him landed as the bell rang. When the ref realized that the round was over he broke the fighters. I think Canchila's corner threw in the towel as Canchila sat in his corner. It looked like they called the fight off. There was a bit of confusion there, but for all intents and purposes, that fight was OVER.
