Maybe Vera KO's him later that round, but Vera should have been given the opportunity to end it properly and Lee should have been given the opportunity to come back. I'm no huge Andy Lee fan, but if you think this was a good stoppage, you are just too wrapped up in the moment supporting an underdog. I love an upset as much as anybody, but I want to see it called correct. Had Vera won legit, I would be giving him all props, but the stoppage was crap, and if Vera gets back in the ring with Lee, he's going to get his ass handed to him.
I agree. I just saw the fight and I'm not a Lee fan but that stoppage was bullshit. Lee was hurt but he was still firing back. He landed a straigh left right before the ref stopped it. Vera may or may not have finished him, but Lee did not deserve to be stopped at that point. Complete bullshit.
