Good call E i thought i was the only one who had noticed this. After the stoppage Small fell back into the ropes with glassy eyes and then lurched forward into the side ropes with a muddled equilibrium. He was shaken and hurt, I was shocked when he took the flush punch and dropped back staggered that Duke claimed he was playing possum and Rawling to be fair was unsure himself, i thought Small was hurt alright from my viewpoint (couch in front of telly) and Pryce laid it on from that point. It was a brave call from Howard Foster and vindicated by replays which of course Foster didn't have the benefit of.E wrote:small couldn't walk properly for about 30 secs after the stoppage. Ref did him a favour. He was less than articulate in the post fight interview as well.
Small was doing okay and picking decent shots up until then and i had him 1 point up but i questioned his stamina and felt Pryce maybe would have taken over. Having said that i am not sure how many hard fights Bradley has left in him, he showed good resolve but sagged forward a few times earlier in the fight after taking hard counters. He has had a lot of tough contests, i remember his early career war with Gavin Down on the BBC, he likes a tear up.

It was a great scrap, made me glad I stayed to watch passed the Skelton - Sprott fight (although I did get to level 22 on snake!). From ther start Small made I thought he would destroy Bradley but when bradley took all his shots, he seemed to tire and get demotivated perhaps quite similar to some of Witter's fights but at least Witter ground the results out.
I can't complain about the stoppage, he went shooting back into the ropes and looked gone. Maybe simlar to when the Codrington got sparked by Green, he still had his hands up but you could tell he was gone, and as someone quite rightly said he couldn't walk properly and wasn't very coherent afterwards.
