Had he told him to walk towards him, he probably would have called it off earlier.

I don’t mind Foster compared to the rest. He’s not the worst..

Can’t forgive Froch v groves tbh. There’s worse British officials out there; that’s not a compliment.

Would to know the rule with allowing fighters more time with checks like walk back and walk forward, or walk to the other corner ect.

Is there a rule or discretion?

No idea.

I just notice more refs tend to do it.. people say it’s time wasting, but I think it’s a good thing. If a boxer is stood still you can’t tell much.

He tries to walk straight and feels wonky. It’s times to stop the fight.

Can save boxers taking an extra beating.

As fans, we want to see KO’s of course. And it was a nice finishing KO shot from Tete.

The screams however were not.

It looked like Mayweather vs a journeyman

Shows in boxing to get to the top it's not who you fight, It's who you don't fight. Cunningham was always British standard.

Perhaps Frank thought Tete was there for the taking. Very inactive, a bad knockout in his last meaningful fight and going up a division.

Will be a tougher sell now bringing Cunningham back to defend his European. I can’t see Frank putting Liam Davies in with Tete either.

Frank was saying the winner would go on and fight for a world title. Not sure how that happens.

Frank always makes these plans way ahead.. but doesn’t seem to go his way.

He had to force the Yarde-Arhur rematch. Why? Because the man he was rooting for didn’t win.

The Yarde/Arthur rematch was contracted I think. Not sure why considering it wasn’t for a big title.
