I know Cassamayor didnt win convincingly but....

[Gandalf]

The title is a little confusing.

A ko is about as convincing as it gets. However, he did score a tko with a little early stoppage. I though Cass was on his way to getting beaten but he landed a great shot.

Ref stopped it a little soon. Kats was hurt, but he was trying to defend himself and could have gotten together again.

There was like 2 minutes left. There was no way Katsidis was going to survive that. That's the reason why he and his corner didn't complain about the stoppage.

I've seen fighters survive rounds when they looked like that. Seen guys get knocked down 2 and 3 times in a round and comeback strong. As far as the stoppage, I felt it was a little early. Not an outright bad stoppage, just a little early. Kats was hurt but he wasn't out, he should have taken a knee, it's falling back against the ropes that gets a fight stopped.

I think Kats showed alot of class with his comments about the stoppage. He said, I was fighting so I don't know, the ref was doing his job. Good for him.

I agree about the stoppage. It was somewhat premature, though its easy for me to sit back and say that. Katsidis bounced up from the kd too quickly though. A lesson to be learned for next time I guess.
