To be honest I am delighted that this was followed through with by the BUI. I am still dissapointed that more wasnt done to get to the bottom of McDonagh-Gomez

Couldnt agree more with the decision as it was a sham, accepted it was a late replacement but some people paid good money to watch it stuff like that drives people away from the sport although i would question where the money goes, it would be a nice touch if they invested it straight back into one of the smaller clubs by was of new gear etc or let the promoter donate it to a worthy charity.

Shenanigans!!!! Yeah it was a pretty poor showing alright, fair enough he may well have been injured but it does raise an eyebrow or three. Innocent until proven you've been to ladbrokes on the way to the arena and all that.

Dirty whore!

I'm quite pleased to see this end result, as the fight was a farce in an otherwise excellent night.
