Magdaleno is not very flexible, missed his split twice :) Very wide stance though. After that the nightmare started for him. Nice endurance from Flanagan for teeing off like that for a minute and a half.
It was about time to stop it before Magdalano’s head was hacked off, in fact, the corner is pretty sadistic not to have thrown in the towel.
Good stoppage by Ref.
Never sen him fight (Flanagan) but will watch. Very big guy for the weight.
