His left knee buckled and there was time left, refs are there to protect fighters but that does seem a touch early.

Gotta give him a count at the very least.

 

[edge]

Was that worth a stoppage?
Dont think Cameron was past continuing. Not even a count?

Wow

looked like he saved him from a hiding.
Legs had stiffened.
Only going one way when that happens.

 

[Wizard]

Whittaker is a bell but think the ref made the right call. Cameron’s defence had gone and Whittaker was unloading some very heavy shots

We've seen many fighters over the years come back from early round setbacks, should've been a count at least IMO.

Hadn’t even opened me Doritos

Interview is an embarrassment/insult to Ben.

True , could have just took a knee if his head wasn't scrambled.
He didn't go down so ref couldn't do a count

Standing 8's do exist.

I know mate when the ref can make an assessment of the fighter.
But it looked like he had made
in his mind that he couldn't carry on already as he wasn't defending himself so didn't need to see if he could carry on.
Some of those headshots looked heavy can do long term damage, sooner the ref was a bit quicker than a fighter get really hurt.

Eubank has missed weight by 0.05lb and has been fined £375k

Unbelievable.

Surely there has to a bit of leeway, what difference is 0.05lb rally going to make?

 

[Rita_Poon]

Was a fifth of a pound first weigh in, then the 0.05lb second go. Benn in at 11st 2 lb, 4 under the 11st 6lb limit. Neither can rehydrate above 12st 1lb tomorrow morning.

All helps punching power and goes toward the unfair advantage in atomic weight. It’s like having iron in your gloves when it comes to throwing a punch.

Can't be good for Eubank having to drain his body like that
