I was watching other sports on my TV Saturday while simultaneously watching the Ben Whittaker vs Conor Wallace fight on my cellphone. And I wasn't paying as much attention as I normally do to the fight as MLB Baseball playoffs are important to me.
After watching the replay of Round 12 early this morning, I clearly saw Ben Whittaker legitimately knocked down 3 times in Round 12, & the Referee Kieran McCann wrongly never called any of the knockdowns.
Conor Wallace should have won by Round 12 TKO
Referee Kieran McCann of the UK is a "Homer" & horrible Referee. McCann shouldn't be allowed to Referee any substantial fights going forward. Period. And the
@IBFUSBAboxing should make serious note of that.
Ben Whittaker has a serious chin problem. I mistakenly thought while originally watching the fight live it was a stamina problem. It is not a stamina problem. It clearly is a serious chin problem.
Conor Wallace unequivocally deserved a victory in that fight. Instead got the proverbial UK Boxing hose job.
Try to enjoy your Sunday knowing that the wrong guy got his hand raised.
