Good show , excellent fight for the British title and I had the mute button for Bunce.
Was the crown only on one side of the ring?

Tremendous fight.
I had it 114-114 but Lyson had a stinker missing the obvious knockdown so in reality it should’ve been 114-113 to Bentley.
Udofia looked good at range but lacked the power to keep someone pretty determined off.
Suicidal last round for Linus. Hardly threw a punch and if he wins that round he wins the fight by SD.

Was it the black guy in the weird long
military-esque coat? I saw him congratulating Bentley after the decision, and then the next shot it looked like a security guard was trying to forcibly remove him from the ring, Then it looked like Bentley was trying to calm his supporters down. Was there any crowd trouble following the fight?

Good domestic title scrap.

I think it was just over excited crowd jumping on ringside equipment and tables

So apparently, the weight for Kelly’s fight supposedly 154, Kelly weight more, and the opponent said he’d still fight but then pulled out last minute.

Now Booth is saying that he asked the promoter if the weight could be changed to 157 weeks ago, and the opponent agreed.

Who’s correct?

Don’t trust Booth tbh. Kalle said Josh “came in 1.2kg” overweight so for me the opponent is completely right to want to not fight.
Josh is a welter ffs… If he can’t make light middle in the apparat shape of his life then fornicate him.

Booth is just doing damage control I think. I don't believe him at all. He always came across as a slippery guy. The opponent came in on weight and weighed in so he was clearly expecting to fight. It seems like he was coming to win as it would be easy to just come in and take a dive... pulling a Lartey you could say.

If the opponent "continually refused" then why go ahead with the fight and weigh in? I think they thought they were fighting some no hoper who would be happy to get bullied around with regards to weight.

Should be fighting better opposition.

Exactly fighting a guy Udofia just swept aside in 3 rounds

I don't know what to make of it. Kalle was with Josh when asked about this and Kalle said Josh came in overweight and his opponent refused to fight. However Adam Booth went on Twitter to say Josh was not overweight and it was agreed two weeks ago with the promotor that the weight would be 157lbs although the opponent continually refused to agree to this. But the opponent still went ahead with the weigh in? Weird. Sounds more like the opponent refused to agree to the weight and Josh came in overweight anyway and then blamed his opponent
