One fan assessed his performance and mentioned that the fighter has the potential to be the champion. @Alin_Juverdeanu: “What an upset and those were some vicious shots. Ref should have stopped it…”
What an upset and those were some vicious shots. Ref should have stopped it before those final two, as he clearly couldn't defend himself anymore. The kid is good, he was winning the fight up until that point and with some defensive improvement work he is championship material.
