Gunn himself did not think it was a bad stoppage. He said he would have preferred to go out on his shield, and I fully believed him when he said that, but the decision was out of his hands and he did not seem overly upset by that decision. He was getting beaten up pretty bad in the 3rd and especially the 4th. I would personally have preferred to see a KO, but I thought the stoppage was okay.
Good for the health of Bobby Gunn, bad for the fans who paid money to see the fight. I would have given Bobby one round or two more
