Media Aljo confirms he was not out

Goddard always does stoppages too early, especially so if it's his countryman winning.
 
Aljo confirming he wasn't out is like Chael confirming he didn't submit to Anderson Silva.
 
It's true, he was never out.

But it wasn't the worst stoppage I've ever seen. Title fight, though....it's iffy. Going belly down didn't help his case.

"felt like a Winner's Dinner"
 
We don't need him 'confirm' this lol, you can see he wasn't out. Who said / is saying he was? It was a TKO. Fights aren't only stopped when the guy is out.
 
He was visibly scrambling for position when the fight was stopped.

can you really contradict a single thing he said?
 
Early stoppage for a title fight.

They want the rainbow guy as champ.
 
If you’re a fan of the guy who’s the nail it’s an early stoppage, if you support the hammer it was acceptable… is normal
<BC1>
I am not an official fan of either. Never liked Sean's goofball fashion. But it was a perfectly acceptable stoppage due to all the unanswered strikes, and I'm pretty sure he got his head bounced off the mat.
 
He was clearly not unconscious.
Unanswered strikes that cause visible damage (he started bleeding a good amount) are grounds for stoppage. Did you really think people have to be unconscious? Being dazed can disorient and blind a person.

I dunno maybe after watching like 1000 MMA matches over the last 20 years I've seen enough to understand when a fighter is moving to improve position. I've also witnessed plenty of fights where dazed fighters eat 10 unnecessary clean shots without the fight being ended. You also notice patterns. When the powers that be want a fighter to win, that fighter gets more time eating shots before the ref calls it and their opponent gets less time in the same situation.

This isn't rocket science here. Also I was going for O'Malley in this fight for the record.
