The fight was good and entertaining. I think the referee just did well in stopping the fight because Juanma was absorbing a lot of strong punches and he had trouble defending himself.We should not judge the stoppage on how Juanma was fighting to weather the barrage of punches thrown by Salido in the 8th round. Rather, we should gauge the stoppage from the number of punches the champion has been getting since the first round. This is boxing. The health and safety of the fighters should be the primordial concern. Yes I agree, a rematch must be set.
