As lopsided as the fight was, I would not have stopped the fight. Wilder seemed a little bit more lively at the start of the round of the stoppage. Even though he was cornered and taking punches, he threw a punch right at the stoppage. I would've liked to see if he was on his way to getting his legs back and a second wind. Had he got dropped again, I would have been ok with a stoppage. Only Wilder's corner knows exactly what was going on in that corner, but I believe the fight was stopped prematurely.
