    IMO given the betting patterns that went on with that fight, the ref should have all his accounts investigated.

    Im sorry but a fighter who has never been stopped and Brooks to win on points drifts from 5/4 to 3/1 ??? give me break

    The stoppage win backed into a very silly price only someone in the know would back at.

    That ref is a dodgy *******.

    Don't talk **** mate.

    The price drifted to 11/5 and there was about £100 matched on it.

    British boxing's definitely a bit suspect in terms of betting and has been for a while. If boxing was more popular it would have definitely been major news by now.

    Not saying that Howard Foster is in on it or anything was dodgy about tonight (apart from it just being a really bad stoppage)

    It's pointless betting on fights over here now because of crap like this

    I was more disgusted by the commentary. Cringeworthy ass-licking there by Adam Smith. Desperate and embarrassing, at times.

    Nelson makes me laugh when he uses about 5 words to explain his feelings '.... was sharp,razor,quick,rapid,snappy'.

    Total joke but utterly typical of British boxing these days- we must be the most unfair biased place for a foreigner to come. Fair eneough he ws getting beaten but he ws hardly in danger. Look at the time big fat terry O gave Khan to recoer against Khan, then compare it to any time a big British promoted fighter has had a foreign fighter under presure. It is a complete and utter joke. If it was football the media woul dbe on to f it but because it's boxing it is ignored or accepted.

    I was very surprised with the bias, I know they want to hype up Brook but come on, it was hardly Calzaghe-Lacy one sided.

    They must pay them well. i presume most of them know theres a high chance they will get robbed if they win the fight

    Another bull**** stoppage in a British ring.

    It was hillarious the way they kept calling the opponent 'world class'

    It does back up Kells case that Sky want to make him a PPV star.
    Outrageous ball sucking commentary!
