Piss on the floor and stand on your chair. Simple. Give us a wave while you're up there!

Is S Smith a level above these 2?

Walsh should get this clearly but both boys are a credit to themselves. Fit as the proverbial and game as badgers.

I must say having 2 men with decent skills, high work rate but lacking power makes a great fight.
Clear Walsh win in the end

Not sure but they are all a long way from world class.

Well done Walsh for that win and Sykes deserves credit for not just giving up. Credit to both chaps

Agreed. A very good fight to watch, Walsh started really well and fair play to Sykes - never slowed down all night.

Good opener, impressive from Walsh against an opponent who kept on coming.

Good fight. Really enjoyed that.

It grates these two honest pros clearly gave everything, entertaining fight and good quality for a modest purse. Last weekend Bellew and Clev would have coined it in putting on a total wankfest.

A really good start to tonight's card.

Sykes sounds like a really good, decent and honest guy. Fair play to him for accepting his defeat with good grace. Hopefully Walsh will move on in 2015 to World Level - well done to both.

I'm welling up here with him giving his brother that belt. Enzo looking in good shape by the way.

Well Eddie must think Smith beats Miura as he's been fighting for some WBC international title, good luck with that...

Does anyone know how Sykes lost the top of his middle finger on his right hand?

Buglioni's fans aren't that creative with their chants, are they?

More likely that Eddie sees Miura as the weakest champion and easiest to get a shot at. Not that Stephen will get there quickly, 3 fights in a year with Matchroom, last one a laboured 8 round points victory.

Sykes definitely bottom (but the most exciting) would like to see the other 2 fight.

Eddie can believe what he wants Miura would eat him up inside 6. Would be an hilarious mismatch.

Credit to Gary Sykes, one of the proud warriors who make boxing what it is, you can't lose much more bravely that that.

Michael retired, but I think he applied for his license back earlier this year, be surprised if we didn't see him in a ring again.

Blimey I'd forgotten about that ear injury, it was horrible to look at.

Buglioni has an absolutely terrible defence, he's good to watch though.

When the hell will Buglioni have his defense worked on? FFS same mistake time and time and time again! He's very lucky Robinson is no puncher

Aye, Walsh has earnt the right to be considered the best of the three IMO, but Walsh v Smith would be an excellent fight. Walsh's biggest problem is inactivity, but he's dealt with a lot of quality domestic operators. Smith seems to have veered off down a less interesting foreign import route with Matchroom's assistance....

I'd be greatly surprised if Smith was competitive against Miura.
