Taureno Johnson was ROBBED vs Curtis Stevens.

I suppose Castillo shouldn't have been stopped against Corrales either

I didn't think it was that bad, Stevens pulled it out of the fire no doubt and was taking a beating until then, but he landed some finishers. If a fighter is truly out on the ropes with punches incoming, you can never call it a bad stoppage imo. If a ref hesitates in those spots you can end up with a Mercer-Morrison type finish.

He should have been given a standing 8....

There is no standing 8. At first, I thought it was a tad early too, but then I thought about it and if there's one thing about Stevens it's that he can punch and Johnson was on the ropes not blocking punches from a big puncher. So perhaps it was a tad early, but I'm not all that mad about it, if that makes sense.

Seriously im sick of hearing about standing 8 counts. There is no such thing.

It's a common excuse fighters and their fans make to justify a loss..

It would have been a brutal KO if it carried on. Johnson was in a lot of trouble, such a good fight though I rewatched it the other day because it had that much good action in it.
