3) Like some other people, my first reaction was that the stoppage was overly cautious but then, after watching the replay and hearing/reading some of the ringside accounts and (not least of all) noting that Quillian didn't protest much, but then remembering some spectacular comebacks and wondering if maybe we're losing some of that in recent years, and so on and so forth...
If pressed for an answer, the certainty that the ref knows the sport better than I do and that he was the guy on the scene making the call would have to outweigh my misgivings and I'd back the call.
What did you think of the stoppage?
2 and 1) Though I was impressed that he was respectful and reserved in the post fight interview and despite my wanting to give a dude a clean slate, I'm more or less convinced that Quillian ducked GGG and still have kind of a lingering bad impression from some smarmy comments of his that I think I remember, so I want to see him earn the rematch.
Also, I'd like to see Jacobs vs Lee (who I hope wins that matchup).
