    John McCarthy has just had a shocker. When you don't answer the bell between rounds surely that's a DQ.

    Well them last few minutes demonstrated the fine margins of this game, Kennedy can count himself unlucky that the ref didn't end it when Romero wouldn't get off the stool

    Don't think it had any impact but the antics to give Romero a bit more rest were pretty disgraceful. Would Romero or his corner be fined for something like that ?

    Noob question but is that meant to be classed as a DQ for stalling?

    Controversial victory. He was flat out at the end of the second round. Poor sportsmanship after that but no denying the comeback was vicious

    It's a shame they let the religious fighters go on about Jesus and his magical school bus or whatever it was.

    Surely if it was going to be a DQ then it should have been done before the round started? Can't call for a DQ because he went on to win.

    If he lost, it might have been mentioned, but not to this extent.

    Of course it had a very big impact! Or very probably did! Seconds can have a huge impact especially after the end of the 2nd! Don't like romero at all.

    To me it looked it was the guy in the blue shirt that was holding everything up pointing at Romero's cut. Are they the NSAC guys??

    Who said it should have been a DQ after the fight, i think everyone agrees it should have been a DQ before R3 started.

    Not always but unless you were asleep during the fight you must be able to see exactly why he was getting booed there :confused:

    Conor has this, hes so inside Dustins head all week i cant see him losing it. Id go as far to say it will be over inside the first 2 mins of Round 1 when the crowd get behind Conor and Dustin loses focus on his gameplan.

    Should have been a DQ for stalling. Rematch on the cards, I think... Disgusting they way it played out. Imo.
