Cheers for that Sporting.
DR, to be specific, they gave Gutierrez one round and gave her half of another round. That has to go down as one of the most inexplicable scorecards of this bizarre year. Gutierrez was hopelessly outclassed, and it was utterly reckless for her corner to keep sending her out there when she was taking a beating for no reason. Commentators in particular need to get past this "hopefully they can make it to the end of the fight" rubbish. She should have been pulled out to fight another day.
A really good night for women's boxing, though. I think Matchroom deserve a bit of credit for an ambitious bill which, frankly, was more exciting than some of their men's autumn cards.
Kell Brook put up a more than respectable fight for a few rounds last night, but Crawford was much too good.
