Browne Stuns Burden With A Right Hand And The Referee Waves It Off In Round Six

Was it a stoppage or was it a call too soon? Either way, Browne got the finish in round six.

A right hand did the damage. Browne drove Burden back to the corner and landed the shot that changed the fight. Burden was in trouble and clinging on, the two fighters tangled up on the ropes, and the referee stepped in and waved it off.

The commentary team called it a huge shot and a fighter in a lot of bother. They also said the tangle of bodies made the ending look a little ungainly, but that Burden did look hurt and was going over. One of them wondered whether the referee could have paused and checked first.

That is what makes a finish like this stick. Browne landed the punch that mattered, and the ending is the kind fight fans will argue about long after the lights come up.

The fight was live on DAZN under the #BrowneBurden banner.
