too fast for me
Was This A Fast Count?

Yes it was a fast count and he beat the count anyway and was standing up but wobbly by the count of 9. Maybe the ref called the fight off because he thought he was in no condition to continue. I am pretty sure he would have been finished off if the ref had let the fight continue.Comment

True. Corrales got away with not getting called on 2 knockdowns by Machado. He was definitely out on his feet when he finally stood up at the 10 count. He also was unprofessional not only before the fight for not making weight but also after the fight while Machado was getting interviewed. He interrupted Kellerman asking for a rematch without regard for Machado's day in the sun. Machado is one tough guy who beat Corrales for the win and thoroughly deserved it.
Referees count by signaling with their fingers to the down opponent, I noticed that Corrales was not making eye contact with the official ; perhaps Mark Nelson felt that was a bad sign and decided to wave the fight off for concerns for Jezreel's safety.

Another mistake Nelson made was during the seventh round in which he missed a knockdown that Machado should of been credited. This as you can see happened in front of him -- but the speed of Featherweights could be a challenge for senior citizens to keep up with another reason why I hate old people in the ring.
Anyways little sympathy from me given how unprofessional Jezreel Corrales was before the fight missing weight and during the fight with his deliberate holding, that should also cost him a point -- another mistake there by Mark Nelson.Comment
