Tough stoppage, damned if you do damned if you don't stop it before that.

Another weird herzog stoppage, he should’ve let barlow land another shot or stopped it a few seconds earlier, why did he stop it at such an awkward moment

I imagined Quinlan would of learned from his last fight that if he's fighting a fighter with a range advantage, he should use more wrestling.... I guess not.

Yeah usually refs stop it on a punch. I don't mind it though, Quinlan looked pretty confused after the stoppage and seemed out of it.

Unfortunate by Herzog there. These aren’t championship fights, not even on the main card. This was an early prelim so there is no need to let it go for so long. Quinlan was done after the first time he dropped.

I am learning two languages and deal with language barriers often, but I still have no idea what Barlow is saying
