Had paused it so was watching on a delay. That was fuckin shocking! Good shots by Leather but really bad refereeing. Was enjoying that fight there. Leather looks good. Makes mistakes and is a bit open to the right hand which he'll need to improve on as he moves up in levels.

Was worse than his balls up in the first Froch v Groves fight IMO.

Fair play to Sutcliffe. Came across very respectful in the post fight interview.

He looks a talented lad. Another good addition to the 140 domestic scene. Some talent we've got in that division at the moment!

That was a lot worse than Froch/Groves 1, one of the strangest stoppages ive ever seen, let himself down there Foster, that was a good close fight

It was a bad one. At least on a par with IJL's stoppage of Enzo against Ovil

Haven't seen it but it must be terrible to be worse than the groves stoppage.

Foster and O'Connor really don't cut it imo

Foster is one of those refs who enjoys the spotlight and wants to be the star of the show. A total pudendum who loves to melodramatically end a fight with an exaggerated wave of the hands.....

Sporting reaction by Sutcliffe though, fair play to him

He was spoiling a really good fight, even before the stoppage, by constantly stopping the action to issue petty warnings.

Feel a bit sorry for Howard. He's a good compassionate ref but a couple of times his timings been off, stopping it a bit too early. The high-profile Groves fight and this one too; but to be fair he's not guilty of the worst crimes for a referee, Perceived corruption and of course, stopping a fight too late.

Sutcliffe had taken some brain jarring punches and HF was obviously worried for him, should have waited a bit longer, though Sutcliffe would've probably suffered a bad knock out there.
Outgunned by the excellent looking leather, who showed a very good chin and a very good power too. Definitely a prospect to watch

I'm just watching the show now.
Not got to the Sutcliffe vs Leather fight

But even in the Nicola Adams fight, Foster was hasty.
Adams was landing a lot and going for it but Salazar wasn't significantly hurt, was moving and ducking and throwing plenty of shots back. I'd have been raging getting stopped there
