Close and competitive but giving a draw to Whyte would have been kind.
I'd say it was a robbery. Not a huge one but Whyte didn't deserve the nod.
The refereeing was disgusting also Whyte landed so many low blows and shots to the kidneys/round the back, constantly pulling Franklins head down and into shots or pulling his head down and leaning all over him and I am not sure he was even warned once? Credit to Franklin just getting on with it. Then Franklin had decent success backing Whyte up and beating him on the inside then he pulls them apart as he was teeing off for use of the head allegedly
Starts getting involved threatening to dock points
