Was Syllakh - Grachev stoppage premature?

[P4P50]

Mouthpiece flew out on that last right hand. It was a bit early I would of started the count and at least see how he looked after but it wasn't the worst stoppage we've seen.

[4Corners]

No. He took 18 straight punches without returning fire and got floored. It was fine.

[LeG00N]

Not at all

[mathed]

No,it was a good stoppage. Sillakah was tired and was taking punch after punch. Had the fight continued, he would have been viciously dropped agaiin within the next 15 seconds.

[WitherGlove]

That stoppage was bull**** the dude caught himself on the ropes and was winning the fight they should have gave him a count...

[BattleAxePurist]

Watching it live No it looked to be a reasonable stoppage he was still dazed after he tried to get up.

Though watching it after the fact on replay you can make the argument that he should of been given a 10 count which would of killed the remaining secs of the round allowing him to recover and try to hold on but the damage had been done and he had his chance and eat shot after shot on the ropes real time it was warranted

Give him the 10 count atleast, its a fight, not the ballet, if he doesn't like how the fighter responds then stop the fight, but give the guy a chance, they train their a$$ off, his career is probably over now. Who was winning on the scorecards?, I thought Syllakh was ahead. Maybe they should have a rematch down the road.

This. Fair stoppage.

[Light_Speed]

I'm a huge Sillakh fan but I can't say it was a bad stoppage, I was ok with the ref stopping it and I would have been ok with the ref giving Sillakh a count but Sillakh doesn't know how to tie up so it would have been ugly.

[Easy-E]

Dude was OUT. Not sure why the ref didn't at least start the count, but I don't think it mattered. The fight was over.
