I watched this fight and I must say I cannot see how Williams won this after having 2 points docked. McDermot rocked him in the 5th with a plum uppercut, a shot that Williams was caught with quite a few times.

From BBC Sport

Danny Williams held onto his British heavyweight title with a controversial points victory over John McDermott in Dagenham on Friday.

With the fight apparently in the balance, Williams was docked two points in the 11th round and one in the 12th.

That appeared to hand victory to Essex fighter McDermott, 28, but the judges had other ideas.

Williams, 35, was awarded a majority decision that left him looking as surprised as many watching.

"Of course I'm relieved," said Williams, "but it is the same ref that robbed me against Michael Sprott when I easily outboxed him, and he deducted points off me ridiculously.
