    Too quick to stop unless the ref saw some5we didn't see.

    Gotta say an epic finish to a great fight. A bit early perhaps but I thought it was fair enough. That's one for the history books anyway.

    If rope held him up you rule a knock down. You don't wave it. He was not out of it.

    This is a chavez-taylor type stoppage. That's a standing 8 count for sure.

    ****ing thieving scumbags. Corrupt ref waves it off with 7 seconds left after Otabek dominated the fight winning at least 9 rounds. The commentary was hands down the worst I've ever seen. Despicable bald scumbag Bradley and the other clown was almost as bad

    Kholmatov ran when he should have held and got stopped.

    On further review, I understand the referee better. K was out on his feet and turned his back along the ropes with his hands down.

    This thread is very biased to Kholmatov. He was hurt a couple times and has mostly been ineffective tonight in my opinion. Volume and awkwardness were winning him rounds while Ford landed the more hurtful shots. Happy to see a stoppage for Ford who pulled through big time. Great fight by two brave and talented fighters.

    Kholmatov's promoter need to protest the living hell out of what just happened.

    A bit early? Any later and they have to rob him on the cards instead.
