This is an awful stoppage!! Tagoe clearly fouls Salcido in the back of the head twice in front of the ref and he proceeds to ignore the foul and count Salcido out??!! GTFOH!! What a horrible decision and completely out of line!
Saucedo should have been disqualified earlier in the fight…he did little but hold, complain and push the ref. Thanks to the ref for putting us out of our misery!
