I think Beltran shoulda stopped it in the 2nd. Both guys have nothing left this isn’t a definitive ending

Loosa is tired too, but he’s in full control…

These guys are half dead. Terrible cardio from both but that was a pretty insane pace to start the fight

Bag IQ for AJ on that TD attempt in the second. Thought he would have a stronger killer instinct

You guys were all right about this fight earlier in the week.  You said Fletcher would gas and Loosa would take over and probably win by points.  I saw multiple people say that this week.  Good call boys.

Can refs stop a fight if both fighters are gassed beyond belief? Like what happened in the second but if there were 2 minutes left, neither doing anything. What do they do there? No contest? Draw? Double DQ?

Impressive by Loosa.

Watching tape on him I thought he had an incredible cardio for his build, perhaps not surprising having been an associate of Usman.

He showed good toughness and fight IQ this fight. First masking the body kick that Fletcher hurt him with bad in rd 2 by immediately going for the TD even as he was grimacing. And in the 3rd, maintaining halfguard and doing just enough damage to not get stood up without risking position.

Good performance and recovery from Loosa. I honestly thought he was done in the 2nd and so did AJ. AJ's not doing well tonight.
