    That was a good stoppage.

    If the guy who got stopped didn't complain that means he's ok with the stoppage. A dude sitting on his couch eating Cheetos and drinking mountain dew ain't about to tell me he knows better than the dude sitting there getting in the face. I thought it was early myself until I saw of how Wlad reacted. He didn't complain so I ain't complaining. End of story

    It was the right call.

    Wlad was badly hurt, down twice and the ref gave him extra time to recover both times with the glove wiping nonsense. He was pinned and just covering up.

        The two main points are:

        1) Wlad didn't complain

        and

        2) It wouldn't have changed the outcome of the fight.

        That said, given the recuperative powers both had shown earlier in the fight, I wouldn't have been opposed to the ref letting it go a little longer to give Wlad a chance to make it to the end of the round and maybe see the final bell of the fight - just for the sake of pride if nothing else.

          Who's even saying this wasn't a good stoppage?

          Plenty of time was left for Vlad to get KO'd for a 3rd time but is it really fair to have him suffer so much after being knocked down twice already and he looked hurt badly.

            No it doesn't. It means he made a good business decision. Sour g****s doesn't play well with the audience. Business 101.

            Bad stoppage. Shots were blocked. Take your fanboy tendencies elsewhere. I fought in the Am's with a winning record and had champions in my gym. I'm not some guy eating cheetos on my couch.

              Talk about bad stoppage..

              But the ref gave him about 10 sec extra to recover over the 2 KD
