It just seemed to me, as a novice, that Avalos looked well out of it four or five punches before it was stopped.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30448915/boxing-itv4?post_id=543760055#543760055The ref has a tough job I suppose.

After the fight they showed the stoppage part in slow motion and he had protected himself until the final onslaught so it looked spot on for a title fight.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30448915/boxing-itv4?post_id=543759955#543759955I thought the stoppage was a bit premature at the time.
