Liverpool, England - Scotty Cardle showed a champion’s heart and resolve by successfully defending his British lightweight title in Liverpool tonight against Sean ‘Masher’ Dodd.
After a messy and scrappy yet enthralling and absorbing contest Cardle stopped
his opponent in the 12th and final round after the champion got the better of a vicious toe-to-toe exchange which saw Dodd stumble and fall backwards to the ropes. The courageous challenger, who many had ahead on their scorecards (two judges had Dodd in front), rose to his feet but referee Terry O’Connor waved it off after 1.58 of the final 180 seconds. Arguments are now out in force as to whether O’Connor should’ve given Dodd a standing count.
