Its not stopped too early.
Well, not as in the ref decided he'd had enough.
The rule is if you are visibly hurt (which Joshua was) you have to take a standing count. If you take two standing counts in a single round you are stopped. Like getting two yellow cards in a football match. The idea is, you don't get hurt.
Quite surprised at some of the replies here about it being early. Everyone loves to be an expert but don't know a basic rule. We all watch the olympics right? Thats amateur.
