Great tactics from Rafferty and his reaction to winning the British title was great to see, unlike many fighters these days when they win. He took his time and the way he finished the fight was top class. Well done.
Dude was bouncing like crazy like Pacquiao, of course he won't have the stamina to continue doing that for 12 rounds with body shots as well. While the other guy was patience and took his time.
It just looked like Rafferty was patiently stalking him the whole fight. Turner was slick and fast but he couldn't get Rafferty's respect and stop his forward momentum. It's very hard to be bouncing around on your toes non-stop trying to circle away from a pressure fighter, he was exhausted by the end. Maybe if Turner works on having a more active and powerful jab that could offset a pressure fighter and slow him down he'd have a better chance.
Was at the fight last night turner shouldn't be to down on that performance because he's a special boxer him he had no choice to box that way someone constantly coming forward who's strong just drained him but definitely a future champ actually gutted for him
when Henry turner throws his hands, he is off balance and chin in the air, looks so vulnerable to getting knocked out. the fact his coaches have not immediately seen that and corrected it is pretty concerning
After the first couple of rounds I was sitting there wondering why they were acting like turner was lighting him up. Yes his movement and defense was great early on but he was barely landing more than rafferty
These are the lads that will have dominated in the amateurs with the hit and move style, was always boring to watch. But over 12 rounds old school boxing wins out.
Great fight both boxers giving honest endeavor. It could have gone anyway but Rafferty had more juice left in his engine. A rematch would not be a bad idea.
Because clearly Henry was the Darling that was supposed to win. I said this somewhere else, but refs seem paid to ensure a certain fighter wins, and can't course correct when that clearly isn't going to happen (e.g. here, and AJ getting a 10 count when he was lying fetal on the ground after Dubois chinned him). Commentators were also singing his praises so much you'd think he was embarrassing Jack, when all he was doing moving faster and getting 10-15% more of his shots on target (and they weren't even big hits). The bias in this sport disgusts me at times, especially when it endangers the favourite like this. We were lucky his corner wasn't heartless and sent him back out to get brain damage.
Henry needs to do what Dennis McCann done and get rid of Alan Smith as a trainer he ain't a good trainer at all he wasn't telling Henry to work the body best thing Dennis done was getting rid of smith he's pony
If this was me ide never qwit on my stall ide go out like a warrior but it is what it is with some fighters until they get exposed against someone there own opposite level
These commentators are clueless at times. Said turner doing great work and landing left hands. Yet he had t landed a single back hand at that point 😂 turner showed zero signs of doing any damage at any point, moved a lot and threw weak shots but was no way boxing well, running away being pragmatic doesn’t equate to boxing well…
Great work from Turner's corner - their man was cooked. Tough decision but the right one. Good fight.
100%
I totally agree. No way he could have taken more and it would have been horrible to send him out again.

Some turnaround in that fight.
Really good fight 👍 Congrats Rafferty.
Cracking fight and great sportsmanship at the end. Rafferty was being outboxed but never panicked… very impressive.

Pacquaio got away with it thanks to PEDS. Mayweather knows
Well done lads.
Great fight by both boxers!👏🇬🇧🥊

Great fight, hope both men are well 👏👏👏👏
Well done both.
What a great win for rafferty. Great stuff.
Yes! Great work from both lads but as an Oldhamer, well done Jack! Bringing glory to our town!
I know mate. Bringing it home for Shaw and Oldham ❤

Great fight
Class fight 👏🏻
What a fight
Rafferty looks like RIFF RAFF!
The commentators were so biased towards Turner, so glad Rafferty won. Turners Young enough to rebuild hope he does.

JR to strong, looks impressive 🥊🥊
I like this guy Rafferty!!
Good scrap both good fighters

100% Him and Dennis used to rule the amateurs with that style but it’s not fit for pro boxing
Superb fight.
Fitness won the day.
Rafferty was definitely getting outboxed but can never count out a puncher!!
Rafferty 🔥
Great fight both boxers giving honest endeavor. It could have gone anyway but Rafferty had more juice left in his engine. A rematch would not be a bad idea.
Bad boy ❤❤🥊🥊🥊
Raff man ✊🏻
pure aggression from rafferty , corner saved their fighter for another day , more roadwork for turner ...
That was fun
Good win for jack but I think he’s reached his level here hope Im Wrong
Why didn’t the ref stop it?

Anyone who boxes and runs round the ring often get found out by the bangers with a good chin
Turner allowed the fight to turn to Rafferty's favor in the 9th Round after easily winning all the previous rounds. No wonder his name is "Turner".
Wish they wouldn't speed up fights
Henry needs to do what Dennis McCann done and get rid of Alan Smith as a trainer he ain't a good trainer at all he wasn't telling Henry to work the body best thing Dennis done was getting rid of smith he's pony
First person I've ever seen with same second name as me rare Irish name
Rafferty was to tough and to powerful. He was walking though turners shots like they were nothing.
If this was me ide never qwit on my stall ide go out like a warrior but it is what it is with some fighters until they get exposed against someone there own opposite level
Yup
What's point in letting him go back out to get more damage and a knocked out corner made right decision

No shame for Turner either but Rafferty takes the spoils
❤
Terrible trainers for Henry, bad game plan too much movement in the early stages
Turner failed to continue his style of fights in early rounds
cmon rafferty oafc
Ring girl at the end so dumb
They all are 😂
They talked about turner like he’s this big superstar in the making. Then he gets gassed and quits. 😂
