    No, it was a good stoppage. Bey looked lost after the fight. Molina still had a minute to throw crazy, wild swings at Bey. It was for the best.

    bey should've taken a knee or held on... and took another knee again if he needed too.. Good stoppage.

    I thought it was a LATE stoppage.

    Bey was getting killed in there. Sure, he still had his hands up, in sort of an offensive position, but he couldn't throw, that was just ingrained muscle memory. He was out on his feet.


    The ref clearly had been told to help him win, IMO.

    It was a good stoppage, Bey was in a coma, could have been stopped a punch or 3 sooner, but I can appreciate a ref that gives a boxer a good chance, rather than jumping in at the first sign of trouble.

    Floyd Sr. gave poor advice. He should have warned his guy that the only shot Molina had was a KO, and win the damn fight. Bey was stupid, he threw caution into the wind.

    Good stoppage. He was taking heavy punches to the head. He was out on his feet. Could have been stopped even earlier IMO.

    Bey was asking "what happened" in his corner minutes after the fight ended. I think that about says it all.

    Anybody who thinks it was a premature stoppage is foolish.

    Only if you really hated Bey and wanted to see him get killed in there.

    there's always a conspiracy theorist..... :think

    Bey didn't need help to win... he was going to win and was easily beating Molina, until he got careless. period

    Bey was done. He couldn't defend himself and taking too much punishment. The knockout was inevitable.

    No, it was absolutely spot on.
