I know Cassamayor didnt win convincingly but....

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.

But just because you have seen boxers survive other similar circumstances doesn't mean every boxer should be allowed to carry on and take a horrible beating. Because if we went by that logic then i guarantee you would be seeing a lot of boxers get permanent injuries, Katsidis was caught flush on the chin and he got caught coming in which was even worse, Katsidis got up and had no legs in fact i wouldn't of been disappointed if the ref stopped it right there and then. Katsidis or his team didn't complain or say it was stopped too early so why are you saying that ?? wouldn't Katsidis know better than any of us here ?? he knew how he felt and if he felt it was stopped too early he would of said end of, it was a good stoppage no doubt in my mind.
