Dude got schooled by Torres. Miguel is in a whole different league. If by early Manny means that he was still breathing then sure, I’ll agree.

Torres jumped to Tapia's left side and began the hammers. I didn't see Tapia move his right hand up to block the side control move or the hammers. If you don't protect yourself you are gonna have the match stopped. Fighter safety first. That and Tapia was out fought in every aspect.

Manny was losing his footing the whole time he was gettting rocked. Most folk's would too. I guess he feel's the need to pipe up a bit but it is unwarranted. Miguel would've pounded an even bigger gash had the fight been allowed to continue. Torres fought extremley smart last night, very impressive. Get well, Manny. You better get back on that horse when you're healed and train even harder next time. Cheers! The stoppage was just. Manny was losing his footing the whole time he was gettting rocked.

I hate when fighters cry like bitches, I didnt lose, they just stopped it.

Did Torres even break a sweat in that beatdown? That was a masterful display of strking - it reminded me of BJ Penn bouncing his fists at will off of Sean Sherk's noggin. Do not underestimate Mr. Torres' striking, or overestimate your own. Miguel Torres is a very good mixed martial artist. Also, as much as he bugs me now, congratulations on Mir having an immediate label for that foward axe flip kick or whatever the hell he called Torres' move. I thought he was doing an extreme breakdance video for a minute. That was a "wha?" moment for me.

With Tapia, it was a legit stoppage. I actually thought it could have been stopped sooner, when Torres dropped him for the second time. It just sounds like a lot of sour grapes, and doesn't endear him to any fans by making excuses, saying he didn't lose, and it just got stopped.
