The only reason she's bitching about it is because this was the biggest fight of her life. She wants that Cyborg money lol.

she got 14k for show and peanuts from reebok (2,5k peanuts)
 
Wow thats just pathetic. She didnt land anything clean and was smashed easily. Then shouts "bullshit" when theyre ready to make the official announcement.

The stoppage definitely seemed early but honestly that just seems like how it is with WMMA. Seems like refs are not as comfortable letting women try to fight out of bad positions, I can understand as audiences might find it barbaric watching a woman get her face pounded on repeatedly, more so than a man.

This, but I disagree with the way the refs handle it.

She was fine, and she was working. Leslie is a tough woman. It was a bad stoppage
 
Watching the post fight show Chael and Gil were upset tha Smith should have been able to go out on her shield... Cyborg would have been taken into questioning for murder and let go by judges. Stoppage was fine she looked gone when Cybrog hit her chin in GnP
 
Give her the rematch, have Rosenthal ref it while drunk and listening to headphones.

"Cyborg is still raining down the hammerfist, but Leslie hasn't moved for 17 seconds...Rosenthal may be giving her a chance to survive to the bell...but there's 2:48 left in the round...this is getting quite ugly...wait, what's this? Cyborg just switched hands for the hammerfisting- could this be some type of unconcious effort by Leslie to wear Cyborg down?..."
 
lol I respect that she says she wants to fight Cyborg again but she would just get killed again.

As for her complaining about the stoppage, it was the right call, unless she was trying to get brain damage from late stoppage instead.
 
The stoppage was bs.But it probably would of came inside anthor 40 seconds or so.If she wants to make excuses thats fine but maybe she should of tried to throw combos or use headmovement to avoid combos or actually engaged.
 
Early stoppage for sure, especially after watching Trinaldo/Medeiros go to decision. But it's hard to believe the fight would've ended any other way.

She should've been actually defending instead of leaving her arm up over her head like you would expect. She was out of it. Cyborg threw a couple punches and then the ref stopped it. There are positions like that that don't make any sense unless it's because they were rocked. You don't just leave your arm over your head when you get dropped and eat two or three punches without covering your face.
 
she could have stayed on her back and defended from there but she chose to get up which showed she was still in it, but because that left her open to punches, the ref stopped it. Bad stoppage. It reminded me of the Cain/Rothwell stoppage where Ben was willing to eat some punches to pick himself up, so the ref stopped it.
 
It basically looked like a man fighting a little woman. There was no way Leslie was ever gonna make it out of the first round.
