It was embarrassing all round fom Edwards, Maloney and Smith who could have said we are demanding that Edwards next fight is Bayaar!BIGMARK wrote:I just caught up on the Sky+You have got to feel for Bayaar as that was such bad luck. I know Frank is trying to support his fighter but to say what he did was silly, Frank has always seemed to be a decent guy so lets hope he gives Bayaar the Re-Match
Get your head out your arse!Newport Daz wrote:I think Edwards was celebrating a very hollow victory. To celebrate like that was wrong imo. An accidental clash of heads is such a piss poor way to win a fight within 90 seconds when barely a punch has landed. I would be too embarassed to run around the ring and shout the odds. At least when Paul Williams won his fight against Cintron in bizarre circumstances he had the grace to look and act embarassed. Edwards proved nothing.

Edwards is a young lad who's just been crowned British champ. He's boxed from a young age building up this moment, and he isn't supposed to be made up? Come on now.
I'm sorry pal but Edwards "won" nothing. 90 seconds into a fight and an accidental clash of heads stops the contest. To run around the ring celebrating like that was embarassing. You think he should feel satisfied "winning" like that?jBacca wrote:Get your head out your arse!Newport Daz wrote:I think Edwards was celebrating a very hollow victory.

Edwards said as much in the interview, but to say he can't celebrate because it's embarrassing? Get a grip boys.Newport Daz wrote:jBacca wrote:

Both guys will have worked their arses off for that fight and for a champion to lose his title like that is an utter disgrace. Not Edwards fault granted, but he is now champion without winning a round, scoring a knokdown or even landing a meaningful punch.
You think winning a title like that should be celebrated?
One of us has are heads up are arse, but as the neutral unbiased guy it's not me.
Sorry to be contrary Jai but it was embarrassing because it was such a hollow victory. I haven't seen a victory more hollower in fact in over 30 years of watching this sport - I remember reading about Andre Hoylk beating Jim Watt on a first round cut stoppage but it was nothing like that if I remember rightly. One thing is for sure that there has to be an immediate re-match.jBacca wrote:
He's British champ, regardless of how the fight ended - what if he'd won a world title in a similar matter, say his opponent injured himself a hand during the first, would you call him embarrasing for celebrating that? My arse.

If you think winning a British title fight like that should be celebrated, then fair enough that's your opinion. The fact he is now called British champion without winning a round, scoring a KD/KO or even landing a meaningful punch leaves a bitter taste in my mouth as did the celebrations. You get excited about it if you want mate that's your right but I feel sorry for Shinny being robbed like that.
Hopefully the BBBoC do the right thing and it gets settled in the ring properly.
Since the result, Edwards has said he thought the cut was made by the punch that landed just prior to the head clash. During his celebrations, the ref appears to tell him something down the lines of it being the head that caused it, and Edwards calms down. Edwards didn't celebrate when his hand was lifted, and acknowledged what happened in the post-fight interview. Do you still think his reactions were embarrassing?Carlos-Wigan wrote:
