1. "I'm not saying it was a bad stoppage, but here's why I think it's a bad stoppage." C'mon TS, you're better than that.
2. Being "conscious and aware" has never been the standard for a stoppage. It's about intelligently defending yourself. TJ got face-planted, ate a huge right hand when he tried to get up, immediately got dropped again with a 4-punch combination, and ate like 12 unanswered punches. The referee's job is to protect the fighters, and TJ clearly needed to be protected at that point.
3. The referee shouldn't allow more punishment simply because "it's TJ and a super fight." That's ridiculous.
I was rooting for TJ, but the stoppage was fine. He's a fantastic fighter, but he clearly doesn't deal well with a fighter who's faster than him.
