Ladies and gentlemen after 12 rounds of boxing we go to the judge’s score cards judge Victor llan scores it 116 to 113 in favor of Nathan Heeney Judge John leam scores it 115 to 114 in favor of Brad Halls and Judge Kevin Parker scores it 114 to 114 this bout is a split Draw Richie your reaction a split draw You’ got it to Nathan Heeney by two points Victor Lan gave it in by three John leam who has sat in front of us gave it to Brad Pauls and then Kevin Parker 114114 yeah a little bit surprised there
I I didn’t think and I didn’t think Brad Pauls had won the contest I didn’t even think it was a draw I thought Nathan had just done enough um with the better work that he did in the first half of the fight Brad Paul certainly pulled it back
And made it closer but for me I thought Nathan won that okay then so that’s the official result let’s get in the ring and join JD Dyer because he’s going to speak to these two Warriors and I’m sure everybody is fascinated to hear the way
They see it and what they’ve got to say JD there’s just times as a broadcaster where you can turn around and become a fan and I generally say this when I mean this when I say instant classic gentleman you’re both Warriors you both deserve the respect I saw the respect
Between you Nathan I’ll come to you because you still got the bels at this yeah but I’m GED I’m GED I’m abely gotted I I didn’t want I want to win mean I don’t want to draw like yeah yeah it’s it’s run him I thought I thought
Enough to win but I also did let him into it as well at bad times and he caught me sometimes as well so fair play to Brad he was he was excellent he was excellent Brad I know how much this meant to you coming in we had spoken a
Number of times throughout the week and you spoke about this moment being your world title tell me how you feel now now it’s a split draw um mix of emotions to be honest I think the crowd enjoyed it so I’m happy about that I always like to
Entertain um but that belt right there I wanted it more than anything in the world and you know it goes if you’re the away Fighter fighting the home fighter fifth close respect to Nathan he’s done it the exact same way I’ve done it small wall
Built of fan base you got to respect him I like him I just wanted his belts it’s all nothing personal I can always see the respect has been between you two all week press conference weigh in there’s been ultimate amount of respect I think
A lot of the fans at home will want to know so what can we run this back can we do this again because it feels like there’s unfinished business there was plans with Frank so I just i’ got to see what Frank wants but like I’m I’m more
Happy to do whatever Frank wants me to do whatever listen an excellent fighter and yeah it’s um it was a good close fight though excellent fight but yeah I’m absolutely got it I’m GED like I know it’s it’s to me yeah I don’t want to draw I can understand the disappointment
Naturally because you’re in this moment and you’re going to take time to reflect and take it all in Brad I want to give you one more word because there was a lot of support in here for you as well there was a lot of Brad against the
Stoies but I heard a lot of nuke bomb in here tell me how you feel as you summarized tonight I feel so grateful man um I’ve Dred up a bit of support from Coral to come here um and it really pushes me through you know was in the
Trenches a bit there and then the support really pulled you through and Nathan had a lot had some so that’s why the fight was so good I think I think naturally I have to give you the final words I know you’re disappointed I know you want to take time to reflect upon
What’s happened here tonight but just think about the support think about the buildup think about the stoies think about everything that’s gone into it phenomenal phenomenal like I say I thought I did just enough like yeah you shouldn’t leave that close but I thought I did just enough to win the fight but
But it is what it is Brad was Excellence very strong caught me some great shots and all credit to him he was fantastic they’ve been gents all week Becky genuinely there’s no words to describe these two apart from True gentlemen and again true class as they finish off yeah

Good decision. Heaney was getting hurt too much
Brad won't get the rematch.
As Frank Warren will have other plans, and he knows now Brad is a threat to Nathan.
Respect to both fighters.
Both boxed like true warriors, just a shame it's not them who hold the cards.
Let's see what Frank Warren's next move is
Decent scrap. Sounds like Nathan's not in a hurry for a rematch anytime soon. I'd like to see it. I think Paul's could have had him out of there, had he just taken his time when he had Nathan hurt. Still, decent fight but I think Nathan won enough rounds to take it.
Brad let him know he ain't world class,and they need to run it back! 🫵
