Joel gets stopped - major surprise

[kojikabuto]

Firstly, I thought the stoppage may have been a touch premature does anyone else agree. I know he had taken a lot of shots but I thought he should have been given a count and maybe the chance to get back to his corner (it was close to the end of the round).

In saying that, Casamayor was seriously hurt. We are talking about a guy who's taken the best shots of Freitas, Corrales and Castillo and he gets stopped by Marquez moving up. That came as a major surprise to me.

What a performance.

Pacquaio can't call himself p4p number one until he fights this guy again. You would have to think Marquez victory over Cassa is far more impressive than Pac's against Diaz. Diaz couldn't hold a candle to Casa IMO...

i wouldnt call it a major surprize..fact is i predicted a llate tko win for jmm on another thread.Its the other way around...I was surprized at casa's competitiveness.(This guy is over the hill...got his ass koed by sta cruz and was lucky to beat katsidis).He was doing well with his counterpunching and even before the stoppage...either one was really dominating the other ( 2 judges scored it even).It was a good win though by jmm but it wasnt a dominating performance...so i wouldnt call it a far more impressive win than pacs total one sided demolition of david.

pretty much anticipated a stoppage by jmm. casa lasted 1 round longer than i predicted. he's definitely more prepared and had shed the ring rust for this fight. jmm really had problems with him all through out the fight.
