[Boxing Prospect]

What happened?

Stopped Sutcliffe in a terrible, terrible stoppage

[Stuarty]

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.

thought that straight away as well , they never mentioned it though

[mullenman]

Still in shock. Not much made of it as home fighter won but that was the worst I have ever ever seen

[Stuarty]

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

[brilo33]

i liked the look of josh leather ,think that was the first ive seen of him

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

[brilo33]

this Ryan Garner looks lively

[crusader]

Typical Foster

[Manchester Hitman]

Foster is a joke.

[handsofstone]

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

[TheLeprechaun]

I can't recall ever seeing a stoppage worse than that.

[forcefraser]

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

[Ossyrules]

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

[boxingknockout]

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.....

[Noxy]

Sporting reaction by Sutcliffe though, fair play to him

[lefthook82]

Abysmal stoppage.

[roy]

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

[MightyWarrior]

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

[davie]

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
