I still can't believe Ian 'Brittard weferee' John Lewis let Vitali-Briggs go the distance. He's the same ref who stopped Maccarinelli-McKenzie in rd 2 for no reason whatsoever. How inconsistent can you get??
If memory serves....Briggs went to the hospital for a while after the fight. It wasn't for a stumped toe. it was because he got his ass kicked...into the hospital.
Briggs took a terrible beating round after round, and ended up in the hospital afterwards. The notoriously dodgy referee Ian-John Lewis should not have been permitted to work a fight after that. A boxer's health should always be the first priority of a referee.
Briggs already won the event with his ring attire. That being said his gloves were terrible. When, oh when, will people learn.
