    Round 9

    Rosales is pumping the 1-2 into the head of Higa, over and over. White towel in.

    TKO9!!

    Wow, that was a tad bit premature.

    Higa's corner pulled him out.

    ...and the NEW! (thank goodness for both his sake and Higa's...for Rosales' sake because he was clearly about to get DAYLIGHT ROBBED, and for Higa's because he was about to get CTE)

    Why even allow him to fight given how he looked on Thursday?

    ...because Daigo Higa just had years shaved off his career? Brave as hell but he ate frightening amounts of clean punches for 8½ rounds..,

    Yeah clearly a very bad weight cut but he was showing enough to not have been pulled out. He arguably took the 7th and landed some big bombs in the 8th. He still had a chance here.

    And who's to say Rosales wouldn't have gassed in the next round or two and Higa could have finished him?

    If this was an American/European fight with a title on the line everyone would be crying early stoppage.

    No one knows what he looked like Thursday but you.:deal:
