Ehikhamenor seemed okay to go on, but it was weird how he hid in the corner. What was he expecting, the ref to just break them up? He needs to defend himself at all times. Very weird. Do you think the stoppage was good or bad? :think
Borderline bad stoppage, but to wait all series long just for a lousy ending like that ? Taking that into consideration, the ref should have let it go on a bit longer.
Hino should have been given the benefit of the doubt. It was a great fight, Hino took solid shots all night long, and was winning on my card 2 rounds to one.
It looked to me like he was trying to turtle up but couldn't remember that a ring is square, not round. Bizarre choice on his part, but given that he had turned the wrong way and should have let go of the rope the moment he realized where his hand was, it's not like he gave Smoger any choice. Smoger isn't exactly a quick stopper, after all.
Hino should've taken a knee. Hiding in the corner with your back to your opponent and not protecting yourself is body language for "I wanna go home now!" Unfortunate stoppage but he really gave Smoger no choice.
Hino inexperience make the ref stop this fight! even if he wasnt hurt this bad he didnt have a reaction.
Good stoppage, give Ross some credit here... he landed 3 or 4 solid shots just before the stoppage. If it was let go any longer Ehikhamenor may have been hurt, he offered no defense.
