Cheeseman too strong and relentless for Upton who although very brave and game, too inexperienced to deal with the non stop aggression of Cheeseman, would've liked to have seen Upton's corner throw the towel in before that last knockdown, a bit of a rout that

Ted v Eggington could be good. Dont think Coldwell will rush Fowler in with him yet.

Didn't sound it from the commentary.

Eddie seems to want to go commonwealth from what he said and let these domestic ones build for 12 months

Tend to side with this. A weird end for me - bad stoppage but deserved winner.

But give the guy a count, look in his eyes and then make the decision. He just dived in before he even went down. Look at the Cheeseman fight, that lad was given a chance.

Bellotti was the champion here. You can`t stop fights like that without even giving the lad a count. Terrible. Could have been a classic. Imagine Foster in the Castillo v Corrales fight? Holyfield v Bowe? Ward v Gatti. They would never have happened.

It was maybe early and I can agree with all you say also but he is there to protect them. Belloti didn't moan and was still on pretty shaky legs when he was taken back to the corner.
