Powar Wins British Featherweight Title on Technical Decision

MANCHESTER — Gully Powar has the British featherweight belt. He defeated Zak Miller by technical unanimous decision in round ten to win the vacant title on the Buatsi–Hutchinson rematch card.

Queensberry announced the technical decision, and FIGHTMAG independently confirmed the result, round and vacant championship.

talkSPORT reports scorecards of 96-95, 97-95 and 96-94 for Powar. Its account says swelling following an accidental head clash led to the stoppage and the decision going to the cards. FIGHTMAG also reports the tenth-round ending following a head clash; the detailed swelling description and scorecards here are attributed to talkSPORT.

There is no need to turn an injury into a spectacle. The official outcome was a technical points victory, not a knockout. We make no claim about Miller's diagnosis, recovery or medical clearance.

Kimster's take: a technical decision is still a decision, and Powar leaves with the title. The circumstances deserve straightforward reporting rather than an exaggerated description of an injured fighter.
