    Should have been a point off, no doubt.

    Clever, but even bundu was laughing at the blatant way the ref was looking after Gavin. It was plain to see. I hope Gavin moves down in weight he's a good operator just too weak to mix it. I honestly think a guy with his frame and size should be fighting at lightweight.

    Gavin got beat clearly IMO. His foot work is brilliant but can u win a fight on that an single shots? Bundu out put was impressive.

    Gum shield... Clever!

    is that the message that should be sent to young fighters? spit your gumshield out on purpose and start cheating if you get hurt in a fight?

    Could easily have given him the first 5 to be fair; I thought it was 4-1 Gavin after 5. He did enough to win by pot-shoting from the centre. Bundu didn't really connect with much on the rare occasions he backed him up.

    gavin can spit his shield out if he wants theyre his teeth, but the ref was either extremely biased or incompetent. Hes supposed to wait for an opportune moment to replace the shield, a break in the action no way immediately following a knockdown.

    It was blatant cheating by Corrales.

    There needs to be harsh penalties for guys who PURPOSELY spit out their gumshield to buy more time. Otherwise, every fighter will start doing it when he is dropped.

    What Utter nonsense. Having suffered the knockdown, and risen from it, do you honestly expect the ref to ask Gavin to continue when he had the absolute knowledge that the gum shield wansn't in his mouth?

    Is the knockdown not a break in the action? As per my previous post, everyone raved about Corales beating Castillo but would have had no chance without spitting out his gumshield, but he's immune to this crticism here as he's a fallen warrior who did what he had to do to win.

    When one of our own displays the same bahvious it's a disgrace, the ref is biased blah blah blah
