He's Finnish & had the ref let it go on, Asikainen would have finished the round. I've seen him in a good number of fights & I've always been impressed by his recovery. I was amazed he got up from the left hook. He seemed ready to go after the ref counted to 4 & then actually patiently waited. That was a really dodgy stoppage, I'm sick of seeing that in fights in the UK favouring the house fighter.
I remember about a year back Ricky Burns was getting schooled by a Ghanaian fighter, caught him with one good punch & the ref stepped in. At least this wasn't as bad as that.
