Much respect to Choi, not that often when the winner says the ref stopped it too soon.
I think it was a hard call for the ref. He makes the call to stop it as soon as the punch connected when he was down and at that point his arms went flat and it looked like he was out. He then seemed to pop back awake and started to cover up but the ref had already made the decision to stop it. If the ref waits and allows another bomb to land and if the fighter was still limp the ref would have been criticized for letting it go too long.
I don't think it's that often when someone goes that limp and then pops back to action (seemed like a pause button was hit) that quickly. Generally when they go that limp it's over.
