WTF was the referee doing in that fight? It should have been waved off the previous round, McNess took a bad pasting there looked dangerous.

McNess a big ticket seller?

Would have been stopped way before had it been the other way round. Mega crowd kick off. Great performance by byfield,

The show goes on despite the antics of McNess's fans.

Go on the Reading massive! ha-ha
What was the fight about?

That's wot I thought

Poor from ref, lacked the balls to stop the hometown boy even when his head was flying back at the end, corner saved him in the end.

The refereeing was disgraceful.

That should have been stopped a lot sooner and McNess could have been seriously damaged.

If it was the other way round it would have been waved off quickly. I hate when I see that. Credit to Byfield good performance hope he is back on tv again.

seems his intimidation tactics before hand worked.

Byfields dancing at the end impressed me !!!. Didn't help the crowd situation, still good luck to him. Parden the pun, but he hammered Mcness.

McNess got schooled, which has been coming for him since day one. Nothing impressive about him.

He'll not be "finished" because of the numbers he'll do on tickets, but it'll be small hall Latvians for him from here on out.

I'm adamant that Byfield needs to be on Warren's next show, he was great to watch. Possibly think about signing him.

Totally agree. Great fighter, so calm walking to the ring and also switched tactics during the fight so clearly an intelligent boxer. Just watched his interview on ifl and didnt realise one of his kids died recently. Byfield deserves backing after that fight would love to see him given good opportunities.
