One of the best fights i've seen in a very long time

[@andybud1983]

The ref conveniently stopped the fight for ages when the gumshield was out and Nathan was absolutely out on his feet.

[@cfs7338]

That was incompetent referering

[@F00kbluepill]

Bought & paid for

[@2vandoodle8]

thats what the refs are for.

[@UPTHEPOSH]

Yes he was deliberately spitting it out and should of been deducted a piont atleast

[@qatarloanyer9035]

Don't know if it was deliberately spit (not obvious IMO), but ref should not have stopped action. On verge of standing 8 count maybe anyway, 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@darrenjones6181]

Notice the difference in atmosphere when the arena is full of brits 💪

[@thesmallnotesduo]

What a fight. Respect to two WARRIORS

[@mrgrandi]

Not mad at the decision. Maybe they could run it back

[@MatthewChapmanYT]

Such a shame the ref didn’t deduct SEVERAL points from Nathan. Spat his gumshield out three times when hurt and constantly held and turned his back.

[@merlinscat4357]

He rocked him I seen the same thing Paul will come back stronger though

[@kylewilliams3446]

Aj does it plenty lol, nothing happens 😂

[@murdock6450]

He loved spitting out the gum shield in the amateurs LOL

[@rayabahmed1624]

@@kylewilliams3446Why u bringing AJ into it u hater

[@whatsnottohike]

Yeah, poor refereeing there. I've always said, the ref should have a spare gumshield for each fighter on him so when this happens, it cam be replaced immediately and then he takes the one that was spat out, at the end of the round so if it happens again, he can just keep replacing it. Lots of fighters cheat like this now and Heaney was really hurt when he did it each time.

[@sbnqy]

Paul’s is a great forward fighter Benn (snr) style I hope he gets more sponsors and big paydays

[@briansummersbriansummers2052]

Bloody good fight

[@OldSchoolBoxing1]

Great fight lads 👏🏻🇬🇧

[@neveryoumind560]

They need to stop this gumshield nonsense. If it comes out, it should be put straight back in by the ref, or alternatively the ref should have an extra gumshield for each fighter and put the it in. The corner taking their time to help their hurt fighter should be a point deduction.

[@MatthewChapmanYT]

Imagine if the away fighter tried to do it! Points deducted immediately. Brad won 100% to get a draw in effectively the opponents back yard is a win

[@anthonyforgione7514]

Fair result, great fight. Respect to both lads. Look forward to the rematch

[@vforvendetta7851]

Big Stoke / Heaney fan, Wanted him win but Paul deserved this for the never say die attitude and sheer metal. Amazing gripping boxing match. Rematch a must. Nathan better boxer Paul looks bigger hitter. Credit to both of them.

[@terrymccann1550]

What a fight toe to toe one of the best ..

[@goldham29]

Really good fight to watch. I was doing laps around my living room out of tension during the last 2 rounds. I thought Heaney just nicked it but massive credit to Pauls. It was the first time I’d see Pauls and hope that he gets another chance on a big TV card.

[@patmiley08]

Commentators completely missed that body shot that folded Heaney in the first round.

[@JordanMcCarthy-bh9tu]

And the counter left few seconds before

[@patmiley08]

@JordanMcCarthy-bh9tu His hands were heavy but the commentary ignored him for three rounds. Couldn't remember his name.

[@neveryoumind560]

It's cos they work for Frank, so they try to forge the image of his fighter winning as much as they can

They can run this back for sure but these 2 are warriors!

Unbelievable fitness and determination.... Fantastic - both gentlemen.

[@benhumphregys3087]

What a fight! Best fight I’ve ever seen and Heaney is a true warrior and so was Paul’s that was absolutely amazing. Especially heaneys wwe style way to get back to his feet in the 12th, what a machine! Rematch please we need it

[@Algorithm347]

Is Heaney wearing astroturf boots and shin pads? 😂

[@Batmandarkknight.]

Fair result

[@pete801]

Tough one to score. I had Heaney winning the boxing match on points but he lost the fight. He was hurt multiple times and was hanging on for dear life.

Bring Janibek over and give Heaney his Stoke stadium fight.

How Heaney beat Bentley I’ll never know

[@user-river1980]

THAT WASN'T EVEN A TEST FOR BRAD, YOUR CHAMP WAS SPITTING OUT HIS GUM SHIELD AND TAKING TIME IN THE CORNER 😤 RE MATCH 💯🫵

[@jamesring5680]

As a neutral watching this brad won Nathan got battered and was out on his feet

[@philipmartin71]

He wasn't spitting it out ,he had a new gum shield that was too big

[@user-rp5ni6bu9r]

Draw probably the best decision. Heaney boxed behind his jab for the most part, showed good chin to stay on his feet. Paul took the fight to him and got his reward later on innthe fight. Needs a rematch and if it happens,id pick Brad Pauls to stop Heaney mid fight.

[@MatthewChapmanYT]

Agree mate. Especially if it’s in neutral turf where the ref doesn’t allow him almost a minute to recover after spitting his gumsheild out

[@user-river1980]

Heany running the whole fight 🤣

[@Youngballer739]

Why do they never call holding ?

[@henners9747]

Pauls should've got the nod. Heaney deserved a point deduction for spitting out his gumshield 3 times!

[@user-river1980]

Heany spat his dummy out 3 times for extra time 🤔

[@caseyhenry2748]

That Chinese get up 🔥

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

Thought Haney took it by a round or two, but it was such a badass fight that it must be re-run, and the draw means he defended his belt until then, so all is well.

[@dwaynedibley997]

Wow u had Haney wining that . U must be from stoke

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

@@dwaynedibley997 Nah, I just had him nicking most of the rounds where he wasn't hurt.

[@MatthewChapmanYT]

7-5 either way or 6-6 was about right. But in the rematch I hope the ref doesn’t allow Nathan to spit his gumshield out when hurt… TWICE

[@whatsnottohike]

I've always said, the ref should have a spare gumshield for each fighter on them so when the fighter spits it out, like Heaney did THREE times!, it can be replaced immediately and then he takes the one that was spat out, at the end of the round so if it happens again, he can just keep replacing it. Lots of fighters cheat like this now and Heaney was really hurt when he did it each time. Points should have been deducted. There should be an immediate rematch imo. but it was a great fight!

[@christopherdean5531]

Many views on here stating that the referee should carry spare gumshields. The rules state that the chief second of each boxer has 2 x gumshields just in case one gets knocked out of the ring and can't be found.

[@davidwhite5721]

Split draw what absolute nonsense

[@multioptioned]

Are all the judges watching the same fight? 3 different scores? 😮

[@MatthewChapmanYT]

Was hard to pick em, could go 7-5 either way or 6-6….. imo. But let’s face it Heaney should’ve had points deducted for spitting his gumshield out TWICE when hurt.

[@paulgoode5245]

Take my hat off too both lads,deserved NOBBINS that one

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

Seemed a fair result, but the ref stopping the fight like that, mid action, for a gumshield and giving him that long is a bit fishy 👀

[@MarkSmith-fy1ed]

His gum shield came out when Brad flurry to finish him, but ref didn't stop to see where the next 10 seconds go as Brad nearly fin8shed him. But great fight

That 50 second stoppage when Pauls had him hurt in the 8th was criminal.

[@selectivevisions]

yo the ref interrupted the action at the worst possible time to put that gumshield back in did not wait for a break in the action at all and then stood there letting everyone have a convo while they cleaned the gum shield for 30 seconds

[@15johnf]

Why are ppl forgetting pauls ears were boxed off for the first 6 rounds? Firsts half 5-1 being generous to pauls. Second half of the fight very close, but all in all heaney got a couple of rounds. The rounds pauls won he did so impressively. 8-4 to heaney 👊 great fight all the same.

Heaney had like 50 seconds to recover after Pauls hurt him in the 8th, because he spat out his gum shield. Should have had a point deducted

4:58 haven’t boxed before but surely it’s a bit dodgy giving a time out when he’s spat his gum shield out when Pauls has him hurt. Literally had like 50 seconds to recover?

Two absolute bums. Pointless following either as they aint gonna get anywhere near world level. The whole show was based on how many tickets Heaney sold. Who gives af about that. His skills are what matter and he is food for anyone above Brit level who has a punch, complete garbage card from top to bottom except for Liam Davies . Knew i shouldn't have illegally streamed this and wasted my life. I could have done something more productive like count the leaves on the tree in my garden fs.

[@jamesring5680]

Nathan was beaten unfair decision constantly spiting out his gum shield when things got tough and he was all over the place at times even turning his back he looked like he was close to being knocked out and would spit out gum shield to gain extra time to recover and stop from getting battered he also didn't throw hooks as well as his opponent and he looked like he was being dominated at times I think his home support swayed the decision but for me he lost
