    We could say the same about some of the US cards.

    I don't think he had time. He got clipped on the chin and went forward with it and boom-boom-boom. Good, powerful punches in the finish.

    "The most brilliantist sport of all" sayd Eddie :lol:

    Can't name another division that's produced as many exciting fights in the last 3 years as the Featherweight division.

    The ability to switch hit seems to be becoming more and more important these days.

    Beautiful finish as I expected from the imperious Leigh Wood. He's a great featherweight after all, I hope he moves onto some great unifications or challenges in the weight above.

    True, Wood did pounce on him really quickly and put those shots together nicely. I don't think Warrington is a take a knee type of guy even if he did have time though. He's a very proud and tenacious guy.

    :lol:

    Really hard luck for Warrington.

    He got the British treatment and he is a Brit!!

    @MidniteProwler and I are very aware of how a haircut can have a bearing on a fight.

    Kinda, the rules don't say anything about the fighter being allowed to continue because it is the end of the round though, you stop them as if it is 2:45 to go. It would have been exciting to see if Warrington could have put himself back together though in reality. Why not give them the minute then take a quick look at them at the beginning of the next? You do it for swollen eyes as we saw in the support.

    Warrington did seem concussed to me post-fight though. It wasn't satisfying but was probably for the best.

    You can't wave it off after the bell goes and the guy is standing up. You gotta allow a guy take his minute rest
