Seemed like a really late stoppage.  He wasn't moving for quite a few of those shots.

@mert

New judge, no experience. Herb Dean and co. would had stopped that right away after he "turtled" in his side. He  got waaaay too many elbows to the ribs.

Awful stoppage IMO...Brunson was obviously badly hurt for a while. Should've been stopped about 20-25 seconds earlier.

Brunson was just taking a break, I think he found a 20 dollar bill on the mat

yes, it was a terrible stoppage, Bruson has a dozen broken ribs by now...

amazing chin by Romero, that high kick he took directly on the ear had KO all over it.

EDIT: @grizzly yeah, bad translator, lol.

K-Flo has a good point, Romero looks like he has good heart. He looked pretty tired and probably could've cruised but he kept swinging until he got the finish. Dangerous opponent for anybody.
