I think this probably happened numerous times in the past.
I just found a shit copy of Benn vs. Galvano 1 and the fight is a few seconds old before Reg says "there's no point in Benn trying to box this guy..... as you've probably heard the old saying about knock them out to draw is fairly true, there's only ever been two British fighters who won on points in Italy and they were both flyweights."
I mentioned this earlier as a fight where the Brit got the decision because they made out like Benn hadn't a hope in hells of getting it on points.
When the cuts happen, Reg is waffling about the Italians want the fight stopped so it can go to the cards, right?
