Cunningham looked bigger if anything! It's amazing he ever made super flyweight. It was a terrific fight - one of the best I've seen this year to be honest.

Bellotti finished the fight really well but if he's looking to step up further then he'll need to work on his defence and head movement. There were times where Cunningham couldn't miss. Also Bellotti spent quite a bit of time outside of range for him but within range it seemed for Cunngingham to get him with the jab and left hand.

If it were up to me I'd never let that referee see a ring again for allowing Israel to KO Webber after dropping him. I'm not giving Israel a bollocking, think he expected the ref to step in and when he didn't, finished it. But that was just terrible.

He looked a good fighter the lad, just got caught in the motion, their physique's were polar opposite, however so were their style's and level's. Could well damage this kid's career.

Agreed - the big KO at the end shouldn't have happened and could well damage Webber's career.

That was one punch he didn't have to take.

I thought Webber looked good until he got caught. Kept his shape well at times.

He looked a level above Israel but Israel found the bingo punch.

Loved his backstory. Huge fan of Israel after that. Really hope a promoter takes a punt on him. Promote his backstory and he might start shifting tickets.
