    That's the main reason I was annoyed to begin with, the shot that put Warrington down was at the bell itself, had it been a half second later it would've been an illegal shot. Then after the bell sounded, Josh hopped right back up, and walked to his corner. Looking to rest for a minute, and the scumbag ref walks up behind him and stops it. Sure, that's not a great idea, but it's not a must, the ref can use his discretion, and his judgement today was pisspoor. As was the decision to dock Josh a point, which pissed him off and made him hyper aggressive to begin with. So the ref's grubby little biased paws are all over this BS outcome.

    It all happened so quickly and against the run of play that I had absolutely no idea the bell had rung. Warrington was hurt and on unsteady legs no doubt but he's super tough - he lasted like at least four rounds with a perforated eardrum against the huge punching Lara eating tons of bombs even though he did not have his legs beneath him - and he was completely dominating the fight, and for a proven warrior as tough as he is he could've recovered during the 60 second interval and Wood is not exactly iron-chinned himself.

    Jeezo, just watched the highlights, and whilst it was a great turnaround by Wood, there was only like 1 or 2 seconds in the round when JW went down - the bell rang pretty much when he hit the canvas, and think him and his corner should have been given a chance to be 'saved by the bell'

    But then again, Warrinton and his corner didn't seem to contest it, so maybe being harsh on the ref

    Cos I knew it was TKO 7, i was scratching my head cos there was like 16,15,14 seconds on the clock and the exchange that put Josh down started like 4 seconds left!

    As much as I wanted Wood to win, I completely agree.

    I think Sunny has all the motivation because the GWOAT has agreed to go out on a date wit( Sunny if he beats Bam Bam.

    Warrington certainly has valid grounds for an immediate rematch .

    I don't like Warrington for all the vaseline head stuff, but he got hard done by with the stoppage.

    Showed nuts of steel getting up so it was ridiculous not giving him the end of round break.

    Stop being amateur hour y'all, we've been thru this for Bute-Andrade I.

    - you MUST be in fighting condition in any and 100% of the fight
    - the mandatory 8 count & check if ur fight ready is part of the fight, not part of the break
    - technically the bell should only sound once the ref finished the count & check
    - Warrington was clearly jaded, did NOT face the ref, did NOT make an effort to show he's fight ready
    - it don't matter if a minute or 10 years of rest & recovery is coming, it don't matter if Santa is coming, you MUST be in fighting condition at the end of the count to be allowed to continue, he clearly wasn't

    Definitely no robbery if he was not responding to the ref.

    She's not physically or mentally equipped to handle the heat Sunny brings to a bedroom workout. If I'm wrong and she is, then massive respect to her because she would be the only woman who is.
