I can't honestly see how anyone can think he was having a GOOD fight before the knockout. The first round was EASILY Salmon's. All Rashad did was stand up from takedowns a few times, but wasn't really able to PREVENT the takedown. Not good when one of his strengths has always been cited as his "superior wrestling." He was also clearly outstruck in the first round, and inflicted no damage whatsoever. He definately won the second, even before the kick, but the kick and previous knee were his only real accomplishments in that fight.

Anybody can see Rashad has pretty amazing potential, but don't let that fool you into thinking that he's already anything more than a mediocre fighter. He's definately a potential FUTURE champion, but right now, he has a LOT of work to do.
And you could say Rashad is a slow starter. HE lost the first but by the second he had the person figured out and was winning the second easily and finished it with a knockout
