Nice........Yeah he did look better...was your 'few rounds' with or without the point deduction from Nate?

I remember seeing the fight well, watching a genuine world title fight in Australia with our home grown champ getting the belt was magic.
I was extremely tense the whole time, as I know Bomber personally, but he did seem to be controlling things well, I'd say up at least 2 rounds, possibly even 3 by the time of the stoppage.

I'd agree with this. Ash, I can't remember if I included the deduction or not, as like KFlex, I was too tense! I just remember thinking he was up 2-3 rounds. I've watched the fight on tape since and like I said, it appears closer.

One of the worst refereeing performances ever. Went a long way to tarnishing Bomber's achievment if he wasn't such a brilliant guy who had put in the hard yards throughout his entire career
