First of all, read my opening post before you talk ****. In 1 round, Periban rocked J'leon and J'leon was stunned and couldn't fight anymore(I can't remember the exact round), but Periban was keeping pressure and kept fighting. J'leon was just been a punching bag for a minute and was just walking away. Now every normal referee SHOULD stop the fight since J'leon couldn't do anything more besides running away and trying to clinch, but that f*** judge decided to rob Periban and let J'leon continue resting whil Periban was obviously defeating J'leon love. I have to admit, J'leon came back strong BUT, the referee should stop the fight, it was basically a very clear stoppage. If I remember, J'leon was a punching bag for the whole round + the next round he got hit again. A very very dissapointing outcome of the fight. Every other fighter would get stopped by the referee to anounce that Periban won by referee stoppage but somehow this J'leon love is protected. Summary for the lazy ones: Periban should win via referee stoppage since J'leon showed no sign of fighting back the whole round while getting hit, running and clinching
if the fight was stopped i dont think many would have complained but he came back strong so its clear the right call was made to not stop the fight. He was hurt in the 5th and came back to win a dominate round 6.
Love showed good mental toughness coming back good, its also partly Periban miscalculation of the risk of going all out vs looking to repeat the same...could have happened to anybody cause it was a very hard choice...as Love already caught him with good shots early
If the 5th round would have been the other way around, Love pounding the Mexican, Nady would have stopped it.
This. I have to admit that J'leon Love came back strong, but if it were the other way, the ref had done another thing and that is sad.
