What a crap stoppage, Soto looked arm weary at the time of the stoppage.

That was pretty entertaining though.
I'm in too minds about the stoppage. If he is OK, then retire happy champ.
I might rewatch his fight with Chocolito, was that 2003?

There was a feeling that maybe, just maybe Taka could overwhelm Soto, or just keep throwing and somehow nick a decision.
It was a longshot, but that was a shocking stoppage. :brick:

I gave Taka 2 rounds, and round 8 I had even.
I don't think he was ever going to win, he couldn't score a KD and the judges would be looking at the power over the pity pats

We live in a world where everyone complains. Legitimate complaints get lost in the wash, eventually people will stop tuning in.
