Claims to be able to go Gatti.

Complains of an accidental elbow.

The truth is both the referee and Roy stopped this idiot getting permanently damaged.It's dangerous enough without defenceless fighters being hit.

That’d be the Autero Gatti that hung himself perhaps due to depression caused by trauma to the brain from getting hit too much. Not perhaps what he should be aspiring to. Ref saved him. He was on Khan legs at the time of the stoppage.

Sorry Chris Eubank Jr, the ref saved you from being knocked out for the full ten count, or fifty count.

Just when I thought that British fighters couldn’t be any more delusional, eubank comes and says this.

I didn't even hear about the elbow accusations until the latest press conference, but after watching back the replay, he 100% got elbowed by Smith.

Absolutely he did and it’s entirely possibly that stunned him sufficiently to let Smith follow up and finish the job. But that’s just unfortunate - stuff like that happens all the time and often too quickly for the ref to see. We’ll never know. However, regardless of how it was caused the ref was totally right to stop the fight as Eubank was ruined.
