You cant take that much damage and keep getting dropped in a short space of time. He was done look how he finally got to his feet when it was over.

Ha ha. Didn't see it, but did Cejudo start talking about his own greatness and what a special person he is like he's doing the voiceover for a movie about himself? I can't really sit through that guy's interviews.

Shit stoppage.

I was the first one to call it that in the live thread when all you pussies were too afraid to speak up.

Said he'd give TJ an immediate rematch and do it at 135 next time.

Justified stoppage - neither a good stoppage nor a bad one.

Also, a rematch at 125 is a fucking terrible idea (which means they will probably do it). What the fuck happens to 135 if TJ gets KOd again?

Give TJ the ability to revenge the loss while putting his title on the line. I have underestimated Henry numerous times, time to give him the power to make the call.

After watching it a few times it was probably the right call. Getting dropped that many times that quickly. The ref was behind cejudo and only saw his legs give twice in about 4 seconds.

If this ref was working Pat Barry vs. Kongo then Kongo loses the fight by tko instead of coming back for a legendary win. Just sayin.............

Terrible stoppage
If the majority of fights ended that way I’d stop watching the “sport”

yes
that was just too quick for me
I bet Henry and he likely wins that even if it goes on
but TJ was rocked not finished IMO

This is completely melodramatic. Even if you believe it was early, which is a reasonable opinion, there's worse stoppages on almost every card - arguably even this one.

What was a worse title fight stoppage? Also I said a majority not a random fightpass prelim.

Fair enough on the 'majority of fights' call but you've completely moved the goalposts on the title fight question.

Off the top of my head Tito-Ken 2 and Faber-Barao 2 maybe? Obviously title fights are going to be very rare because there are so few of them. And I made the point in the other thread that people tend to forget early stoppages in time.

The fact is this is TJ's 2nd 'early' stoppage loss, and the first one was arguably worse. Refs get jumpy when you get dropped twice in quick succession and always have. He puts himself in those positions by standing up rather than recovering on the ground in guard - flailing around is clearly not a good strategy for not getting stopped.

Not a big deal but Ken/Tito 2 wasn’t a title fight. Barao/Fabre is definitely a close choice. This was a champ vs champ fight and I thought the ref was looking to step in way to quickly. This is not Cain vs JDS. These are 2 flyweights. Let them fight it out to a clear finish imo

I could see it both ways. TJ wobbled 3 times before getting stopped. But Glover earlier in the same night was wobbled worse overall and came back to win.

That said, TJ's response was shit. Take your defeat with grace, respect your opponent, and prove 'em all wrong next time. He did the polar opposite tonight. All good though. Dude did get wobbled three times just before. I've had worse moments with way less concussive force.

I would've liked to see it go on a tad longer but I fundamentally disagree that a guy needs to be completely put out for it to be a good stoppage.

As I said, a guy getting dropped, taking shots, standing up, getting dropped again and then taking more shots is a recipe for a ref intervention. Because in that moment the flailing just doesn't look like intelligent defense even if the guy is working.

Nah the way he was talking before you’d think he was gonna wipe the floor with Cejudo. Cejudo wiped the floor with him in those 32 seconds it wasn’t like some out of nowhere fluke shot. Fuck his whinging
