Good job I already had it on tape otherwise I'd have been GUTTED for missing that.
Can't remember exactly how I scored it but Burton didn't have to make it so hard for himself. He probably wasn't in top shape.

It was close but i don't think it was a robbery, i always maintain that this fight was better than Ward-Gatti I, a brutal war with loads of punches thrown...a real joy to watch.

What a fight!!!
well worth staying up for (although I feel knackerd today)!
Nah,not a robbery.Close fight but Mickey Ward seemed to want it more & also the knockdown swung it for him

Fantastic fight, better than any of the Gatti vs Ward fights.
Bad judging although the right man got the verdict.
