This whole fight was a set up from the start, Al Haymon and his PBC company deliberately kept Stantionis out of the ring all 2023.
gave him 1 fight in 2024 only.
The dudes a 15 fight wonder without the nessersary experience need to make it competitive against his opponent who has 30 plus fights.
Al Haymon plays the long game.
You need certain eyes to see the Play

I wouldn't use that language; it's hard to be a trainer and see your fighter facing such adversity. But the truth is that Somodio made a mistake. As you and many others have said, Stanionis was still competitive. He wasn't winning, but he wasn't being beaten from post to post. Somodio should have:
1) asked his fighter how he was feeling
2) tell him that if things got worse, he would throw in the towel
3) or say that if things didn't improve in the next couple of rounds, he would stop it
After all that preparation, Stanionis deserved at least one more round; the early stoppage was a dishonor to all the preparation Stanionis put in.

Ortiz withdrew for the final time on July 2023. Stanionis wouldn't fight until May 2024 on Canelo's undercard. I'm not sure what ptek was insinuating, but I believe Stanionis was inactive for two reasons: PBC didn't have a substantial budget, and they didn't value Stanionis enough to get him a stay-busy or a notable opponent. They allowed Stanionis to rot on the vine, and he isn't the only one.
After doing 3 grueling back to back to back training camps with 0 fight stanionis prob said **** this im taking all of 2023 off
