Smith did well. BUT not enough to win.

Needs to sort out the infighting but I am sure he will have a good career.

IMMEDIATE REMATCH.

This reminds me of Fury Vs Mcdermott in the sense that SMITH will get better and win the rematch while SIMPSON has found his level.

no doubt it will become a pass it around but there is no denying that Ricky fought a geniuine world class fighter last night great win Great performance! Lets hope the WBO does not become a pass it around for other FW fighters. Get Burns in with a rival World Champ after a defence or 2. I have alwa...

Great performance! Lets hope the WBO does not become a pass it around for other FW fighters. Get Burns in with a rival World Champ after a defence or 2. I have always liked his style, he can hold this belt for a few defences at least. His conbfidence will grow and he will onlty get better. RICKY BUR...

I like the video and I like Goeorge Groves. I personally think he beats Paul Smith at this time, maybe if Smigga wins a 'World Title' he can defend it against Groves one day. Groves comes acriss well enough, he is smiling throughout, it's theatre and helps build the fight. Nothing against DeGale, bu...

looks like everybody thought simpson nicked it, including myself. looks like swifty isn't what all the scousers made him out to be. You'll see soon enough that Stephen is a world class kid, Simpson is a tough fight and I believe a tougher fight than Lindsay!! He won that fight last night, While i a...

No way did Smith win that fight!!! It was competitive yes but Simpson pushed ahead towards the end. I was live at the fight, the shots Simpson hit Smith were far greater and more frequent. I lost count the number of times Smith had spray sent flying from his head. I felt Smiths body language at the...

Smith is a good little fighter, but he did not win the fight on my card.

116-112 SIMPSON.

IJL STRIKES AGAIN!!!!

In Manchester if Ricky is actually retired?

I am sure it will 'exist' but will it once again thrive? I am not so sure, any thoughts? Who will lead the way?

No one with a surname 'HATTON' has the guts to face a WITTER. It is a pity, but money means more to Hatton than anything.

Both 2010 Hattons get knocked out.

BoxRec's own Pocket Rocket has done a cracking interview with the big division's big prospect. http://news.boxrec.com/news/2010/richard-towers-cell-excel Look out for a particularly humorous bit of Brendan Ingle psychology. :lol: Great read. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance, good to see he has grown ...

I think Woodhoiuse can do well against FG. FG gets hoit a lit too much and if CW hit him ehough he could mark him up/cut him etc. CW has improved a lot. Gavin may have the better career ahead, ut NOW, it's a good fight! U must not watch my fights cause I don't get hit that much an only had cuts fro...

The reduction by three rounds wasn't a carefully thought out move designed to make the sport safer, it was a knee jerk reaction to a ring fatality. As mentioned, 15 round fights were fought at a much slower pace, the reduction to 12 rounds meant that increasingly fitter athletes can now cram more p...
