    Just look at that replay. They are tangled up in corner after he ate a punch and the ******ed ref waves it. That was an utterly stupid call.

    No, it was not. It was an easy fight to score.

    Fair stoppage, credit to the ref for protecting Kholmatov.

    There's nothing epic about that. That was a criminal ref robbing a fighter of glory.

    I'm at a loss for words. Kholmatov should have had a chance to see the final bell.

    And then the corrupt referee stepped in and rewrote it.

    It’s not a good stoppage, but Kholmatov fought dumb. He had it in the bag and he gave it away by being reckless.

    They really need another commentator in the ESPN booth that has a contrary opinion to the rest of these guys and top rank.

    No foreigner should ever fight in the US, least of all a deep Soviet brother. Bradley spent the entire night trying to create a narrative which was the complete opposite of what was actually happening and the ref dived in the first chance he got to wave it off

    I saw the KO coming from round 10.

    Kholmatov was eating way too many clean punches, and it got more consistent as the fight progressed.

    You're being quite melodramatic about this mate. It wasn't that bad of a stoppage by any means.
