Enzo stopped Fry in the 7th, good fight and he took some good shots

Liam Smith has just put in the performance of his career. Absolutely fantastic, dominated and stopped Thompson early in the 4th after dropping him twice in the 3rd. Real spite in his punches tonight and showed a nasty streak we haven't seen before from him.

Good post :salut:

Enzo did well against a motivated Fry; Liam did fantastic v Thompson and would cope well with a move up in levels; he was very good.

Think Rabchenko's fighting for the WBC next or after another fight, so a defence of the British then moving towards the European in the summer would be a good plan. Wants the Lonsdale outright first though so I'd expect a European title fight by the end of 2014, followed by a progression towards the world scene in 2015.

Selkirk stops Sera in the 3rd with a bodyshot, made it up at 8 but was waved off after being beaten up for 3 rounds and a badly cut eye. Sera wasn't upto much, brave but little else, makes you wonder who he was beating to get to 12-0. Good performance from Selkirk, won't have learned anything, but a top 15 WBO ranking and being in the ring will have done him good. Hopefully the Heffron fight gets made for March 7th at the Echo.

Selkirk bashed him up, 3rd round (I was on computer but the opponent didn't have a proper corner)

Yep, Lillis and Bell have had a real go about the lack of a cutman, or even adrenaline in the corner and the board letting it go, but stopping Courtney Fry from fighting for a title because he was half an hour late for a check weigh in.

I'm glad that they spoke up; it's good to have people who will put their heads up; we've got it good in Britain re boxing and how it's tun but some of it is dodgy and unfair; that respected people are willing to say something does make me feel a little better (and less likely to smash something up)

Butler outboxing Montoya at the moment, looks really good, very fluid movements. Into the 5th now.

Got a lot of time for Butler, looked a class act in the previous fights I have seen of his.

Montoya is making Butler work, he's ducking and diving a lot Butler, montoya is slinging some heavy punches and is landing a bit more. Things are heating up. Butler hands down and mugging a bit for the crowd, Butler is the more precise and better boxer and Montoya is slightly smaller and looks a strong lad. The commentators have Butler up well, last round maybe shared.

A Butler round, he has made Montoya miss and is very confident, boxing and moving, gesturing at montoya.

I'm sure he won't be losing much sleep over it but I have absolutely zero interest in Butler for some reason. Might be the lack of name opposition (not a criticism as the super-fly division is hard to match) but just cannot get excited about his bouts.

He's a good lad but needs someone to push him, he's like peter culshaw, he won't get up for people he should beat easy.

If Butler put his foot on the gas this would have been fun but...he's TOO happy to fight on the backfoot.

Anyone know why Derry-Ormond is over 10 considering it's a title fight and a main event? What's up with that?

I agree he was boring me. Wondering around the ring with his hands down by his waist when he clearly could of stopped the guy that's not boxing imo that's play fighting.

I thought Butler was really good. He sat back on the ropes a bit too much but his reflexes and defence were superb. Dont think he could have finished that tough Mexican. Think a world title is within reach for him.
