Alvarado vs Rios a premature stoppage?

[FlatLine]

Premature stoppage or good call?

[el malo]

Good call. Alvarado stopped fighting and couldn't protect himself. Good job by the ref.

Great Call, Alvarado was out on his Feet!!! I never posted in any of the Alvarado vs Rios threads because I couldn't choose who to root for but that was a good stoppage!

[J-Smooth]

good stopage imo...alvarado went kinda limp, he would have just layed on the ropes eating bombs

[kymira]

at first I thought so too, but after seeing it a couple more times and hearing the ref's reasoning, I think he made a good call. Ref was really honest.

[esconore]

Good stoppage...people just don't want to agree with it because they didn't want such a great fight to end.

[Bermuda]

thought it was a good call...alvarado was done..

[Sheppirino]

It was a good stoppage. Had it continued Alvarado would have gotten hit with more bombs. What if the guy got seriously injured? Live to fight another day.

[-Incred-]

Good call.

Mike is a great fighter, he will be back, no need to **** up his life there trying to prove a point, he was done.

There seems to have been some confusion. I think Alvarado was expecting a standing 8 count, he was just kind of waiting there. The ropes held him up so it should have been ruled a knockdown.
