Early stoppage ?

[Jbose7]

I think it was a good stoppage. That guy is punch drunk. He wasn't gonna come on stronger cause Canelo looked like he was in cruise mode. Don't need to see him take 30 power shots a round for 3 rounds....too much damage.

joe cortez just said : doctor was going to stop it but virgil asked for one more round, so doctor told hunter and referee another flush punch and stop the fight.... there you go...

[Uturn]

Angulo never looked like beating Alvarez. The right stoppage. What is the point of taking more damage. Alvarez was landing at will.

If I ever see that scumbag, I'm dropping his old ass.

Great stoppage, anyone who disagrees, doesn't understand the game. Angulo was toyed with, Canelo showed serious skills.

I think that's a strong statement.

Maybe the timing of the stoppage was strange, rather than the stoppage itself. I really can't see the point of letting someone go out for another round if you know you'll stop the fight as soon as he takes a single punch. Even Canelo was standing there saying 'what are you doing?'.

Add to that, I think Angulo was coming on a little bit in rounds 8 & 9, therefore it was strange. And too early IMO.

Worst stoppage I've ever seen on a Pay-per-view main event.

The fans have paid too much money for a fight to be stopped when the other guy wasn't hurt or defenseless and has a reputation for being able to take a shot.

golden boy is going to have to find another yes man ref. weeks was supposed to replace cortez but its becoming too obvious that he's on the payroll. its so obvious the blatant favoritism he shows to a side fighters. tony you have to be more subtle!

[G22]

Tony weeks adds his name to the growing list of incompetent refs

Clearly Angulo was fine to continue, but the beating he took up to that point, and he had no chance of winning the fight, i think it was a good call. Obviously if the fight had been close it would have been a disgraceful stoppage, but that was not the case.

It was a bad stoppage for a ppv. Mayweather vs Canelo should've been stopped based on this judgment.

Meh could have gone on longer, but it's hard to get too upset about an early stoppage in such a one sided fight.
