my stream went after round 4, good work on getting it out there Mr Coldwell, it's only £1.49 I know but I paid it for the main event, half of which I did not see, still can't get the stream working now.

More work needed...

Okay they've stretchered him out and I'll stop giving these shitty updates because I really can't say with any authority what's going on. Crolla UD by about 6 rounds on each card.

I'm prepared to cut Coldwell some slack on this purely because I like the concept and I hope he sticks with it. The undercard was decent and what I saw of the main event was quality. £1.49 is about the right price if everything works. I'll not be forgiving on his second attempt.

My main concern, though, is that Kieran Farrell makes a 100% recovery.

Crolla wins on points didnt quite catch scores.
Thoughts go out to Kieran who looks like is on his way to hospital. Hopefully nothing too serious.

I commend Coldwell for his innovation and efforts on this new venture. I'll be giving him another chance.

My stream held up pretty much throughout. Scores were 99-93 96-94 99-92 all in favour of Crolla. Both we're celebrating at the end, Farrel was on breen's head, then all of a sudden he slumped into the chair in corner. Didn't have oxygen at 1st and seemed ok then he fell to the floor and it was described as looking like a seizure, he then had oxygen mask on and was rushed onto a stretcher. What an absolute warrior, took some heavy shots and kept going forward. Fingers crossed there's no long term damage.

Really good value, the stream was a bit juddery and went off ocasionally but its the first go so im prepared to give it a few more gos.

More concerned that Kieran is ok, fantastic fight and a lot closer than the judges gave it.

To be fair mark, none of us could actually see what happened to Kieran.

I read twitter from people at the venue and they were saying he completed the fight, was raised aloft, then sat down and had a bit of oxygen before leaving the ring. What happened ?

Praised. Other than the chief support all the other fights we're competative. Crolla v Farrel was fight of the year. Conroy & Healy fights were awsome.

For the bill they'd have been praised, I reckon. Two of the fights were bad matches, the remainder were tremendously well matched. Obviously if SKY or Boxnacion had the dramas in delivery that Coldwell had tonight they'd have got bum raped but it's different. Coldwell is a decent guy trying to push something for the boxing public (obviously he has his own interests at heart but that's fine) and it's a concept I like, so I'll support him. But he's had his chance for fuck ups now. It's got to be right next time.
