It probably was, and the corner probably should have thrown the towel, but I think he made that count and I just don’t think it’s the refs job to wave off the British champ there.keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑03 Oct 2026, 16:30It was the right call IMO.gregregegg wrote: ↑03 Oct 2026, 16:29 It is not the refs job to stop that.

I don’t love the ref stopping someone just cause there losing not cause there overly hurt.

No atmosphere here tonight. A lot of loud music but it's not electric

I think the ref should wave it off when the boxer's taken too much punishment.gregregegg wrote: ↑03 Oct 2026, 16:37It probably was, and the corner probably should have thrown the towel, but I think he made that count and I just don’t think it’s the refs job to wave off the British champ there.keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑03 Oct 2026, 16:30It was the right call IMO.gregregegg wrote: ↑03 Oct 2026, 16:29 It is not the refs job to stop that.

Still amazed Bruce made it out of the 5th round, dropped heavily from a left hook to the body, never thought he'd get up but not only that knocked down again by a left hook then a right on the way down, heavy knockdowns but Bruce was double hard, Uddin looked class, comfortably outboxed Bruce, relaxed, good hand speed, clever boxing, didn't go gung ho and round 8 he found his opening, right uppercut right into the solur plexus, maybe as the champ and that 5th round the ref could've gave Bruce the benefit but Uddin would've TKO no doubt

Weird this guy Kamara is the penultimate fight before the main event in a debut 4 rounder. Matchroom must have high hopes

Surely a 22 year old future superstar should be walking out to something a bit more inspirational than McFadden & Whitehead.
Maybe it’s just me.

After 11 seconds, Adam Smith has deduced that Ritzakis is not feeling any nerves

I don’t think he should have there. I think Bruce made the count… and I don’t think he was getting beat enough to stop having made the count.

I’d argue this 4 rounder needs stopping just as badly .
Re: Ben Whittaker vs. Conor Wallace | DAZN - 3 October 2026
Bit of a poor stoppage there. For a chief support I was expecting Kamara to be something like Naz on his debut.

Ye gads! Kamara is an accident waiting to happen. Chin in the air, gets caught.
Gift stoppage as journeyman was making him look bad.
Bet large the first time he fights a live body.

See the “your just taking a bit much stoppage”, fine with it in a 4 rounder, I’m less ok with it for the British champ.
Re: Ben Whittaker vs. Conor Wallace | DAZN - 3 October 2026
Kamara loading up heavy and breathing even heavier after round two. Not for me.

I never understood Haye sticking with such a generic, nothing ringwalk tune. It was often used for away fighters who turned up with no ringwalk music.

Kamara has the look..
Then he opened his mouth.
