The negativity has mainly come from fans' reaction to the refereeing of Brook - Jones, during which he incorrectly ruled a knockdown and gave Jones a count, also with some people feeling the end came too early.

But Campbell got off to a convincing start, Ogogo looked good against a decent opponent in Boulden, Brook got the stoppage win and looked good in getting it, and we had a great domestic dust up with Coyle-Mathews which looked like going the other way until Coyle was stopped in the 10th

It's definitely worth catching up on DMA! :TU:

His defense isn't the best, nor is his inside fighting and I have doubts over his stamina and workrate.

He looks fantastic at range with that jab and combinations but get a high volume pressure fighter in there, who can close the distance and hit a bit (not necessarily a banger) and Brook will struggle.

Could (and probably will) win a world title though.

Not at all. Good show on the whole.
Yeah i agree it was a good show.

The Matthews v Coyle fight was the highlight though imo. It looked like Derry had a plan of getting into the later rounds and picking coyle off when he ran out of steam, coyle wanted to smash derry to bits and didnt gas, Derry dug in about as deep into the trenches you can go and pulled off probably the KO of the year.

Brook looked good too i think he carries a bit more power at a slightly higher weight by the looks of it, id love to see him fight mike jones, ortiz or lopez.

Ogogo really looks the shit as well.

Really good show IMO

A good, tough, learning fight for selby. Was the first time id seen coyle fight and was really impressed, was gutted for him after the way he had boxed matthews for the whole of the fight.
Enjoyed seeing brook back to his old self, picking his shots well and looking good doing it, the stoppage might have been abit premature but it was only going one way.
Campbell looked fast and slick in his debut, will be interesting following his career as a pro

Anthony joshua sat next to fast car eddie at ringside aswell :TU:

I was being fresh, I had no doubt it wasn't bad - and after watching I know it wasn't.

Some people need to really have a look about their attitude towards life - just too many with a negative disposition.
