Denny celebrated, considering he had gained by TKO, solely to be dragged to the playing cards and wait longer to verify his victory. Buzzing Money on the shut of the fourth, Tyler had been the boss, however you by no means actually know in boxing.
Judges Lee Each and Victor Loughlin had it 49-47, whereas Kevin Parker scored it 49-46, all in favour of the retaining EBU titlist. Money had connected with Adam Sales space for this contest however regarded understandably rusty after a prolonged absence from the ring.
