Questionable stoppage in the JuanMa vs Salido bout?

[Konstantin]

JuanMa would have probably survived that round and maybe a couple more, but to what avail? And at what point his own durability detrimental to his health?

Just because he is standing up and trading punches doesn't mean he isn't getting brain damaged: Chavez vs Taylor

[Pullcounter]

it was an early stoppage imho and salido got robbed of a spectacular KTFO

who wins the rematch:Juan Ma in my opinion


Salido would be really stupid to fight gamboa next



either way salido in a lose lose postion

Juanma probably would have lost but that was a bad stoppage by the ref.

[MindBat]

The ref most likely saw Juanma's eyes roll back in his head and decided to step in. It was his call. Probably didn't want to live with a guilty conscience if anything went wrong. The only way for Juanma to redeem himself would be in the rematch.

[APryor]

That was a bad referee stoppage, but JuanMa's corner should have been looking to throw in the towel anyway. In other words, the ref should not stop the fight when the champion is still throwing punches and attempting to fight back, but yes, it was the best thing for his long term health/career.

He had already taken many heavy blows throughout the fight, which obviously played into the ref's decision. But this was a championship fight and JuanMa was still fighting back. The ref should never stop it there. A good corner will stop it there though. JuanMa's defense was pretty much non-existent at that point and he was going to continue to get pasted by Salido's bombs.

bad stoppage ... but juanma was hurt. dont matter anymore let them rematch and see whos the better man

[suzukilou]

People knock Puerto Rican fighters for taking a knee. Juanma showed heart and kept fighting but the ref took that from him. Like i said he was probably going to lose but it was a bad stoppage. Ive seen guys getting the **** kicked out of them much worse than that and the ref let it continue.

u can question his chin no doubt ... but u cant hate juanma in the heart and balls department. hes gotta ton of both

[suzukilou]

Both Juanma and Berto lerned a lesson today. They were both a bit to cocky and they both got easily hit. Time to learn some defense now.
