Dude was out. Good stoppage.
I disagree with that, especially a championship fight.

That said I don't care enough about either to be really emotionally involved in arguing it. So it is what it is.

I'll try to catch some of you all at 6am for the ESPN2 fight

I normally stay away from saying someone was bailed out by power but yeah this is definitely a case of it tonight. Machado is so green and as awkward as Corrales is i think they still need to make a lot of changes to Machado's game long term.

Corrales was shaky at the 10 count and appeared ready to go...also don't have a lot of sympathy for fighters who get up as the ref is counting 10 and act surprised when the ref stops it.

I can't stand Jack Reiss as a ref, but the one thing I do like what he does is call fighters out on their BS when they pull the I will stand in the middle as you say 10 so it doesn't look like I am quitting. With that in mind maybe the ref shoukd have given Corrales a chance to walk forward and see how much his legs were under him...but Corrales took that risk and paid the cost.
