The stoppage was spot on IMO. King's legs had gone and his arms dropped. Hope crolla wins this, great attitude taking the fight at short notice moving up in weight in the process. Think Watson stops him tho
He was only 'well out of it' if you think Amir Khan should also have been stopped. The guy was on his feet and wobbled a bit, hardly the most hurt in the world.
he did get his hands up a split second after the ref had already made the decision to stop the fight. can't blame the ref there really.
Sounds like Watson brought more fans to South Wales for the Rees fight than he's got at home tonight.
He didn't even get a second to recover though did he? You could see he was about to defend himself when the ref jumped in. I just don't agree with preemptive stoppages. You never know in boxing, guys have heart and courage. It's not to be taken advantage of but I'm fed up of seeing a guy wobbled and the ref jumping in straight away regardless.
That was more instinct than anything, he was staring into space. I got no problem with that stoppage.
