I thought is was not a good stoppage. Kas.. just got his legs back and started being aggressive. He was beat to shit but he recovered.
That's exactly how I feel. He might well have gotten dropped/stopped/ktfo, but he deserved the opportunity to continue.
It wasn't premature imo, like ICB said there were so many unanswered punches from Kats. The safety of the fighter comes first and foremost. This is still a sport, not a death match. Bayless did the correct thing.
Agreed i mean how can you say that was bad call ? honestly Michael Katsidis didn't throw a punch for almost 50 seconds. And he was hit with what ? 30 answered punches ? the ref gave him every chance to throw back and he didn't.

Michael Katsidis is brave but he's too brave for his own good at times, and the ref done him a favour.
Rewatch it again Katsidis was get hit with everything and Bayless could have stepped in then but he let Marquez go at it. Then Katsidis got some space got his legs back and turned aggressive and then landed a short left hook right then Bayless stepped in. I would say it was an afterthought on Bayless' part that made him step in and not Katsidis condition at the moment when he did.
