Dismal judging undermines MBBC displays

MACCLESFIELD Boys Boxing Club had three boxers involved in three separate shows over the last week.

Frankie “The Tank “ Massey was taking on Jabber Dabber boxer Henry Buckley at Nantwich Football Club. ‘This was an absolute blinder with Frankie engaged in a war that had his opponent worn down by his non-stop work.

Henry's head was jarred backwards several times and the referee should have administered an eight count but just let it go, constantly having to adjust Henry’s head guard as Frankie was giving it so much hammer.

This was up there with one of Frankie's most dominant displays but unbelievably the decision went against him ~ nothing new there, boxing away from home in the Merseyside region. Another dismal display of refereeing and judging, but Frankie took it like a man with his head high, comforted by the comments from the crowd as he made his way back to the changing room with the majority thinking the same as us - that he had smashed the contest.
