Comments Thread For: BBBofC To Withhold Ishmael Tetteh's Purse Pending Investigation

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ishmael Tetteh will have to travel home without his money. The Ghanaian was stopped by Luke Blackledge inside five rounds in a challenge for the Commonwealth super-middleweight title, as part of the undercard to Jack Catterall's WBO Inter-Continental super-lightweight title defence against Joe Hughes at the Premier Suite at Bolton Wanderers' Macron Stadium.

I watched the fight and few seconds before he goes down you can clearly see the body shot bothered him..I dont see why withhold his purse..I seen worse things and nothing happened..No heart,yes,he threw the fight,highly doubtly.

Definitely seemed like more of a quit &/or fatigue inspired ending than a legit shot/KO stoppage, but f#ck man at holding his purse. This **** happens all the time. Only thing that seemed different then what I've seen a thousand times before was the late attempt at rising with a huge smile or seemingly a huge smile on his face at the same time which I could see giving some people a more negative opinion of this quit situation.

Things like this is why more guys probably don't quit themselves when outmatched or in unwinnable situations. Some fans think you gotta go down in a blaze of glory to get paid or its just the minimum duties of a boxer which is a f#cked up & sorta disturbing way to look at things. And sure who doesn't love watching those fights where guys do go down in a blaze of glory, but I don't think everyone is made outta that Arturo Gatti or Diego Corrales DNA & should have those expectations thrust upon them.

If he was so bothered by the body shot, how did he throw that left hook? He didn't look dizzy. That's sketchy as fk. He's either mentally very weak or something is up. I'm guessing the former but this is boxing and it's entirely possible this is a betting related dive.

Huge body shot a few secs before he dropped. And it should be well known that body shots have a delayed reaction quite often. The laughing could've been response to a comment by the ref. They were both laughing. But no paycheck? Geez, seems kinda rough. At least pay the guy half the purse. He has trainers to pay, bills to pay.
