    Thoughts on Fielding-Smith stoppage?

    I think it was early. Fielding was making a comeback of sorts, if anything he should've been given a chance to continue and redeem himself and if he doesn't respond after 4-5 punches then jump in to stop.

    I see what you're saying but he did look pretty unsteady, if you look at his arm co-ordination when he was trying to grab the bottom rope it looked like he didn't have a clue where he was, but I see what you're saying and I don't think the ref would of been wrong to let it continue either especially as the round only had about 25 seconds? No way near as bad as the stoppage in the cardle fight mind you.

      Fielding was trying to grab the rope but couldn't then was on very unsteady legs when he got up.

      Wasn't long left in the round so could have survived but I think he would have got unnecessary punishment if it continued and potentially badly hurt.

      Fair enough stoppage for me.

        Fielding should've been given a chance, he can punch a bit, could've just may be turned around or at least buy time.
