Woah… I really feel for Baker.
The referee really did an awful job all the way. He only gave Rodriguez a quick warning after a few low blows, then this VERY early stoppage.
In his previous fight, Baker did really good as an underdog.
Horrible stoppage…
Love Rodriguez – he’s a talent. Looking forward to his April 30 fight against Thomas Williams Jr.
