    That Leapai dude is raw and crude but very exciting to watch...He should go to USA to have quality sparring and good trainers...

    What a shocker. Bull**** stoppage. It takes away from what was an entertaining fight. Terrible refereeing.

    That's the main issue. If neither had been hurt this bad previously, it would just be chalked up to aggressive officiating, which is to be expected now and then and is fine. Selective officiating is not.

    Cool fight but what a poor piece of refereeing! Rematch in Texas!

    Exciting fight. Poor Travis Walker just can't catch a break. It was a poor stoppage, that being said, Walker look spent afterwards.

    Anyway, two guys who came to fight. This is the kind fights we need on American TV.

    I was in Walker's corner on the night. Interestingly his chief second was angry with Travis and not the referee for the stoppage. After viewing the stoppage the next day, the guys had no complaints. It was certainly a great fight.
