Sure was @Spiderguard Winslow is so ******* terrible, everytime I see her ref she is getting a fighter hurt by allowing **** to continue way to long! Lorenz Larkin was her last victim I've seen, looks like Cope is her newest (although there could be a few between there I just don't know about in the smaller shows.)

she didn't stop that late, when do you guys suggest she step in and how many punches landed between the time you feel it should be stopped and when it was?

Bruce Leroy looked great against an experienced veteran in his last fight.  I picked him to keep it going tonight.

I don't have a huge problem with the stoppage. I don't complain about late stoppages unless the dude takes like 5 or 6 extra shots.
