    Yeah there were only 55 seconds left of the last round though could have let them finish or is there some sort of rule about when you open up a big enough lead the fight is stopped

    I think Kostya could of won a 140 title belt in his first fight, it's controversial but I really do.

    I agree with that, he off set Forrests reach with speed, timing and accuracy.
    He was something else as an amatuer

    Changed it up as a pro and was a completely different fighter.

    Taylor beat Pavlik in the amateurs. I think Pavlik was only 17, though, and JT was 21.

    Who held it when he debuted? And it does seem far-fetched, but he was so damn polished that it might be possible.
