Dexter’s Thoughts
Andrew Robinson was always going to be up against it against a talent like Liam Williams. Williams showed his world-class abilities after the clash of head with a great finish putting Robinson down in the first round. Robinson never really got started and if it wasn’t for the nasty cut sustained in the clash of heads I’m sure Robinson would have grown into the fight and asked Williams some questions. Robinson at the age of 36 may not get the chance again to contend for the British title again but he has had a great career and I’m sure D’Animal will sit down with his team and discuss what to do next.
