The British Cruiser weight mess

Did he? :think

 

There was talk of him retiring before the fight, and just taking it so he could win the Lonsdale outright.

 

Ah, I see. A great blow to the CW division.

 

I'm fairly sure this is true, I know he ducked a Commonwealth defence against Dominic Vea in Australia, citing his health or something like that, so I'm guessing he only wanted to carry on to win the Lonsdale outright.

Askin-Dickinson was actually mean to be part of a 4-way eliminator alongside Norton-Hide, but there were no purse bids for that fight as neither of them have promoters.

No matter what you think of a fighters style, fan friendly or not, a jobbing is a jobbing. At the end of the day he isn't in there specifically to give the fans a show hes in there to win a fight.

 

Agree with that mate, it was a light-hearted sort of celebration of the jobbing, ofcourse noone wants to see anyone robbed of the decision when they did enough to win the fight. I dislike Williams style as much as Norton's.
