For those complaining about an early stoppage, the ref is supposed to protect the fighter, which he did perfectly tonight. Rodriguez wasn't momentarily stunned, he was completely out of it. It could have already been stopped right after the second when Rodriguez was looking all woozy and disoriented. Every punch after that is potential brain damage, and he got hit HARD multiple times a minute later. What is wrong with you people?
mfker this is boxing EVERY punch is potential brain damage, the boxers know that stepping into the ring

agreed, he was buckled badly at the end of the previous round and never fully recovered, allowing him to continue in the 3rd would've just resulted in even more punishment, good stoppage.

That's a terrible argument. lol Sure they know the dangers, that's obvious, but a ref's job is to protect the fighters and make judgement calls, and this was a good call. . . He wasn't getting up either way.
Besides I think Cotto would force Top Rank's hand he is a big enough star he can push for stuff and make things happen that most guys likely couldn't (or don't). That is if he has to deal with them anyway.
This was an impressive performance but the over hyping is absurd.
maybe we're all just manic after having witnessed such a snoozer of a day earlier in the boxing world, so having seen such a impressive performance gets the adrenaline pumping more than ever
