Padley was down three times in the ninth round from body shots before his corner threw in the towel. It was a good decision because he had no chance. Shakur was teeing off on him in the ninth without any fear of anything of power being thrown back at him.
Despite being overmatched and underpowered for the assignment, Padley fought courageously throughout, fighting off Shakur at times.
