I thought that he could have continued but would have ultimitley been KO'd - that was a monster hook. However, it's hard to justify stopping that bout so quickly yet letting Gatti continue after and during round 9 of his first bout with Mickey Ward. There neeeds to be more consistency within referees. I've seen many fighters get to fight on, a lot less hurt.
this stoppage was just. kats couldnt even walk straight after the KD and was going to at least go down once more. its his own damn fault for coming out like he needed a KO
