    Jesus, Felder’s face.

    Should hang them up and concentrate on the commentating, he’s got a good thing going there.

    Such a weird stoppage.

    To be fair to the ref he did look * the way he was staggering about.

    Cutelaba I'm guessing? Just skimming through the fights now.

    He was *, probably a good stoppage really. The KO if he carried on could of been brutal.

    Guys a * too.

    Might have been hard for the ref to tell, but that looked 100% to be rope-a-dopeing. He blocked every kick and the 1 left that hit him was a glancing blow. 1 of the worst stoppages I've ever seen.

    He looked wobbled to me, twitter is outraged by it though. If he was playing possum he's a fricking idiot and deserved to lose because that is stupidest * ive ever seen if he was pretending to be wobbled.

    It’s far from one of the worst. Not even in the discussion. As I said, you let that go on the fights going one way. I understand it’s better to let it go till it’s done. But can’t blame the ref.

    People are outraged because they love violence, not because Cutelaba was robbed.

    Watched it again and it’s gotten worse. Still not one of the worst I’ve seen.

    Best angle. Imagine being the ref and focusing on that head movement. He looks *.

    There’s a debate to be had off the back of that stoppage. The fact he was clearly fine tells you it was early but before that he looked out on his feet.

    However, playing possum is a clear tactic that fighters have always used. Was he trying to goad him in? By the looks of it, probably. How is the ref supposed to gauge that though?

    Can’t be too hard on Goddard after that IMO.

    Well seeing as he wasn't the ref, would be a tad harsh to blame him. :D
