So yeah, a bit premature IMHO...
If the ref hadnt of stepped in when he did shamrock would of caught another 5-10 elbows in the face, and thats not good for nobody, good stopage imo.

You cant really say its a bad call unless you took a good hard elbow to the face................ while being on your back with your head stuck against a cage........ :P
