Well done to Kev though, he really did pull it out of the bag to get up from being nearly knocked cold in the 2nd round. All in all a really good domestic scrap. Muttley is going down to 140, Junior Witter should look out!
What gives you the impression I'm a jock ya sassanach!

I'll watch it again but my lingering memory is of Mutley's right hand being in no position to defend himself and him sagging on the ropes. I agree if he had taken a count then he would have been able to continue but for whatever reason he did not. Does anyone know if mutley himself questioned the stoppage because I've not heard anything from him other than what Gogs posted above and he took the result really well considering.
