Lots of boxing on tonight, gonna have the Frampton fight on telly and Quigg on laptop. Thought we better have a seperate RBR incase people want to avoid spoilers.
Scott Quigg v Kiko Martinez:
WBA (FAKE) Super Bantamweight Title
Darleys Perez v Anthony Crolla:
WBA Lightweight Title
Martin Murray v Mirzet Bajrektarevic:
8 Rnds super-middleweight
THE GERRY WEBBER STADIUM, HALLE, GERMANY:
Arthur Abraham v Robert Stieglitz:
WBO Super-Middleweight Title
Close fight, thought Crolla edged it slightly and the 2 point deductions should have been enough to clinch it.
Really surprised he didn't get the decision with it being in Manchester and I kinda think that was his best chance to get a world title.
Well they were definitely ok with the stoppage, went straight in the ring and hugged Martinez.
I think Quigg would've ultimately won either by decision or stoppage just that it would've been better if the fight had gone a little longer.
Had it 115-111 for Anthony Crolla with the point deductions but had two rounds marked as VERY close so can see how they had it 113-113. Would have been a nice story to see Crolla lift the title after overcoming such adversity outside of the ring.
Started getting up at 8, clearly up at 9. I personally think he should of been given the benefit of the doubt to go on there. I know if it was the other way round then that would of been the case.
It was a good stoppage though. I'm not a fan of 'British stoppages' but this one is hard to complain about. Kiko was badly hurt early on and he got dropped hard and struggled to get back to his feet. He was going to get knocked down again cause there was a lot of time left of the clock.
Do you know that punching below the belt is against the rules? Breaking the rules multiple time will result in point deductions. Quite simple really
The punch that he deducted the first point was right on the belt line, the second point deduction was a few rounds after mistakes happen but oh trust lovely Howard Foster to take a point off I wonder why he did that perhaps because he was probably aware of the scorecard, you heard the corner team of Crolla they said he needed to win that round.
Fight completely wreaked of a home influenced manner, Foster should never have been the referee who has shown his incompetence many times before.
Good news Is Perez can gladly tell him to fight him in neutral ground and not be mugged off like this again by a British inspired commentary team who were slurping all over Crollas nuts from round 1 to 12.
This complete cunt would never have won this fight If he actually fought in neutral ground, complete props to Perez he fought on Eddie Hearn home brewed card and he still managed to not get fully robbed.
Perez clearly deserved to win this though, a dodgy draw on his record that should have been a win.
YESSS!!! JUSTICE!!!!
You tried to rob Perez and it wasn't happening, stick it right up you thank god for this!
Perez was robbed by the referee and the blatant bias everything.

Well done Crolla...he did his job despite the odds. Can't blame him for anything out of his control like judging or refereeing.
Great story though. Unlucky that he didn't get the title.
Pathetic by the British to put on such a home brewed decision, absolutely disgraceful can't we win a title without having to cheat champions out?
Crolla is a phoney champion.
