Boxing: Billy McAllister out after the fight was called early
This is… quite disgusting.
Billy McAllister progressed well in his match against Jerone Ennis but a bad blow had basically opened all his eyebrows and ended the fight early.
That means Jamaica takes the win.
They kept showing those close-ups. I feel sick now.
There’s a photo of it appearing.
Fair warning.
If you keep scrolling…

He turned it into a nearly four-second lead over England when he handed Horton to anchor and he scored in a 7:04.96 Commonwealth Games time.
British anchor Tom Dean came out of the pool before the last swimmer from Gibraltar finished, but England will retain their silver medal. Wales got bronze.
