After his rise to the top was suddenly and spectacularly halted by Kiko Martinez last year, Bernard Dunne was trying to get his bid to land a world title back on track on Saturday night. He was taking on Cristian Faccio with more than one eye on a world title shot in the new year. It was all going along very nicely until the 8th round, when a clash of head caused the nasty little nick in the above picture. Rather than walk it off as most real men would probably do - only joking Bernard, don’t hit me - the fight was stopped and went to the scorecards before the scheduled end of the 10 round contest.

Dunne won on points, but in the interests of being fair to customers we’re paying out on Dunne to win in round 7 and on Dunne to win on points. We’re also refunding all other round betting/TKO markets.

On top of that we’re refunding all bets on Faccio, because although the scorecards didn’t look good, he still had a puncher’s chance of knocking out Dunne.
