8 2 little change. surely no robbery

9-2 Bundu. Hard to believe Bundu is 39.

9 2. commentary gave last round to Purdy - comical and disgraceful

9-2 Bundu, Halling has it 6-5

Apparently Purdy has been phenomenal and proved he belongs at this level

Purdy's taken far too many punches tonight. No SKY scorecard?

"HE'S PROVED HE BELONGS AT THIS LEVEL!!!" what? by losing widely? By not getting KO'd?

Wow I usually think the bad reaction to the commentary is exaggerated but what are they on tonight?

Good stoppage. The corner should have thrown the towel in.

tko rd 12

glad we never got to see those cards

take nothing away tho from the fight, it was a good scrap.

Stopped with 10 seconds left. Bundu was class and thankfully he didn't give the judges an opportunity to rob him.

KO'd now

'You have to feel heartbroken for Lee Purdy'

What, for his defence being his face, having little to no boxing ability and trying to rely on toughness and thinking he's hard to win a European title fight.

One judge had it even.

I needed Bundu on points for the last leg on my accumulator

I had bundu points. Bastard.

Purdy got smashed tonight. Hope he's ok.

39 year old from Sierra Leone. No bad for an EBU champ eh?

Well, I take THAT back. Because he just got KO'd.

THEY'RE STILL SAYING HE BELONGS AT THIS LEVEL! EFF ME!

And they've just read the scores one of the judges had it even! That's terrible.

If Lee Purdy wasn't so arrogant I would for sorry for him

bundu an absolute gent - v classy

Jesus, brown envelopes working well for fast car.

Unfortunately a good fight ruined by crap commentary!

Bundu seemed sound in the post fight, Brook Shields

I'd never seen him fight before but I hope he gets some fights out of this I like him.

Yep, spends most of the fight trying to goad the other guy into a war because he can't box, has been charged with conning old people out of thousands and his defence seems to be that a mate has used his name.

Am I the one who thinks that UK judging has now become even worse than judging in Germany?
I remember it was different 10 years ago - it was more honest sport and it was possible for a visiting fighter to get a fair shake in UK. Not any more.. All those elderly corrupted UK judges who are trying to beef up their retirement savings should be let go!

If porter takes a voluntary before fighting brook which he is entitled to do, I think Brook v bundu would be as good as fight as any to keep brook ticking over until this title fight that never seems to get here!!

We're definitely getting a bad reputation. Bad stoppages, iffy score cards. It's not good, is it?

I don't think they would risk it Bundu's too much of a challenge to be a warm up
