Hughes was excellent all night I thought, his jab and his movement were spot on, he outjabbed the bigger Hyland and rode out most of his attacks, great upper body movement as well but it was his body punching what won him the fight, he just kept chopping away and several times it was clear Hyland was feeling them, Hyland showing again what a tough bastard he is, his bodywork was probably his best asset tonight as well but it wasnt as effective as Hughes, going into the 8th the writing was the wall, still a bit bizarre to see it end like that but no doubt Hughes was a clear winner

This is nonsense! It shouldn't have been a count but the ref stopped the fight as if it was, sent Hughes to the corner and then instantly called the fight back on when Hyland had his back turned.

Hughes sprinting across the ring to hit a fighter while he had his back to him didn't sit right with me either.

He pointed Maxi to the neutral corner. That same second Hyland seen this and turned around, a split second later, the ref carries on the fight.

Maxi literally ran over just to hit a man whilst he wasnt facing him.

Anyone saying ‘protect yourselves at all times’, it doesn’t apply here.

Ref needs to do a better job.

He made a decision in a split second.. and it changed everything. They need to be more clear.

Ref could get a boxer killed like this.

You forget to point out he also clearly said box on.He didnt just carry on without giving the instruction.Should the other lad be listening to the refs instructions and reacting to them?
I always think of Martin Rogan sportingly not hitting Sam sexton in there first fight when he had the right to and his career went in a differnt direction than if hed have won.Danny hasnt had the easiest of careers and probably wasnt ready to let any chance slip.If the ref had have said stop boxing or even stayed silent and not said box on i doubt danny would have tried to have thrown that punch and finish the fight.

Box on whilst Hyland was in his way to a neutral corner.

Maxi was pretty fast getting over there and getting that last shot off. Perhaps the ref could have shouted stop boxing before he got the shot off and called the fight off at that point. The corner could have thrown the towel in themselves. Hyland was looking like he had mentally given up from what I was seeing.
