I am so sick to death of retards pushing this narrative that Izzy was somehow defending himself.
Here is the actual angle the ref saw in REAL TIME before he stepped in:
Izzy wasn't dodging or weaving shit. I can almost picture his brain pinballing around the inside of his skull as Alex bounced that last right off his temple. You literally could not ask for a better stoppage.
There's nothing that's even remotely objective about this OP. Just more biased fangirlism trying to hide the fact your boy got fucking slept.
