I'm not trying to be a douche, but why was the fight stopped?

I kind of agree, I think the ref seemed overly concerned about stopping the fight the previous round. Yes, Coleman was getting pushed back, but he was also throwing back the odd-shot. Imo you let the fighter have every opportunity to keep getting back up from those kind of shots or let his corner take control.

Body shots aren't likely to get a fighter permanently damaged. Let Coleman decide if he wants to continue.

The again, nobody complained so maybe I oughtta shut up.

We're complaining! That's more than enough to demand a rematch!

I wonder that too. Coleman was really hurt by the body shots and down, but ref should have done the count. If Coleman decides to not get up, can't get up, or is too shaky on his legs, then you stop it. Not that coleman is going to complain, but don't just waive it off.
