Boxing fans were left stunned by the controversial stoppage in the recent title fight between Oscar Collazo and Jayson Vayson. The fight was the main event of Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions' fight card.

Vayson challenged Collazo for the WBA and WBO minimumweight titles on September 20. Collazo initially took the lead and began to dominate the fight, methodically breaking down Vayson with punishing body shots. Although Collazo seemed to be gaining the upper hand, Vayson was still putting up a fight and holding his own.

In Round 7, Collazo trapped him against the ropes and landed several punches. At that moment, Vayson’s corner threw in the towel, signalling the referee to stop the fight in order to protect their fighter from sustaining unnecessary damage.

While the stoppage may have seemed premature, it was important to note that Collazo had won the majority of the rounds on the scorecards and appeared to be getting stronger as the fight continued.
