    As he landed a straight right hand, the ref stepped in:patsch

    (Vera would have probably stopped Lee a little while after, but terrible stoppage nonetheless)

    Bad I would say yes, but Lee was clearly out of it.

    vera was hitting him on the head but it was indeed a bad stoppage.

    at the same time, i'm also wondering if the ref continued the fight. lee would have been KTFO

    The stoppage, seen alone and out of the context of the entire round looks bad. Lee was eating right after right after right and was not punching back prior to the stoppage.

    Yeah it looked terrible but it's just because of the timing of the stoppage. It's going there and Lee's gonna get hurt seriously.

    The stoppage was really bad, Cotto could have already 2 or 3 lose with that kind of referee.

    Anyways, I think we should try to not OVERRATE or UNDERRATE fighter based on one fight. Lee got beat tonight but he can easily come back and be champion one day, he is only 23.

    The stoppage was a bit pre-mature, but taken in the context of rounds 4-7 it wasn't that bad. From round 4 on the only way Lee stopped a Vera right was with his face. With nearly a minute left in the round he would have been down before the end of 7 anyway, and you can't fix brain damage!

    Looked like Lee was on his way to being stopped, but let the man actually stop fighting before you pull the plug on the fight:-(
