Thoughts on Tonight

[Pickles]

Bob 'Haircut' Shannon returns to obscurity.

Poor Ricky. I feel for the guy.

But I suspect that's the best thing that can happen to him, long term.

He is slurring his words, he doesn't look good.

Boxing is no place for him. He needs to throw his energy into something else.

Hatton V Witter?

Good post Carbo

Dempsey is doing a brilliant job. It's car crash television to watch a broken man, on the verge of tears, being interviewed, and Dempsey is playing it very softly and being (rightly) very kind to Hatton.

Haye still in the jungle

The night's not a complete loss then.

Just watched his post fight interview and I'm totally gutted for him. He needs to be guided and protected now as he won't be in a good place for a while.

This.

Excellent work from Dempsey.

Buckland and Foster put on a great show

Quigg was brilliant

Murray did what he had to against a limited opponent, didnt prove anything

Ricky was a shell of his former self and needs to retire

Really miss Dempsey and Darke from Sky boxing

Agreed. Didn't actually hear what was being said (was in a crowded pub) but Hatton looked an absolute picture of human anguish.

Considering that he was out for over 3 years (3 very difficult years too) I thought he put in a rather decent performance but I hope he does retire now because although he's still brave and strong, it's obvious that Hatton just isn't the same fighter that he used to be.

I genuinely feel (and there is no hint of a joke in this comment) that Ricky's family need to keep a very close eye on him over the coming weeks because I really do think he could go into deeper depression that will end up in him trying to commit suicide. He seemed absolutely distraught.

Ian Darke is a legend the Real Voice of british boxing for me
