I thought Rees did enough but it was so close I'm not going to argue, just a brilliant fight!

At least Rees beat Father Time to come up with a fight like that.

I thought Rees had taken it, but was close and if he does decide he's had enough you can't blame him he's a true warrior !

was it great or were they just peppering each other?

was there any conviction in the punches?

I think that may have had something to do with the judges scoring, especially with Rees saying before the fight that he would quit if he lost, I do think it enters the judges thinking that brave warriors never know when to leave it be so maybe we have to help them to make that decision.

Buckland can come again but how many more fights like that did Rees have left in him?

The most obvious example of it was when they gave Berbick a decision over Ali to force Ali to retire.

Well done to both fighters, they really earned their purses last night.

It will be hard to retire for Rees after everyone saying they thought he edged it.

But the little dynamo was fading in spells and is definitely slipping. If he can afford to then he should maybe consider training now alongside Lockett.

I think he has done ok money wise and been smart enough to invest in a couple of businesses ect, I would like to see him retire now if that is the case and enjoy life, he certainly has the experience and skills as a fighter to share as a trainer.

is buckland going to possibly be a bit outgunned up at lightweight? hard to forget the john murray fight...

anyway gary appears welcome up at lightweight where we obviously have a world champ & where there the majority of outstanding british fights seem to be have been held, in the past couple of years.

is derry Mathews going to be back in that mix? he's been known to come back and spring a surprise, following a defeat...
