Yes, Fitz

[Ruthless-RKO]

This the one I’m looking forward too

[Cholo_cws]

Fitzgerald for me and if Cheeseman doesn't show enough defence he could get stopped late on. I don't think the ref will need too many excuses to step in in the wake of what sadly happened this week.

[liamlion]

Cheeseman fighting out of his skin and Fitzgerald looking a bit one dimensional. Really good fight. More intrigue than barn burner

[Ricky]

Surprised cheesey ran away, hes a come forward fighter.

115-113 Cheeseman for me, I cant really complain about the result when my card was that close but I personally cant see how Fitzgerald won it by the margin on 2 of the cards, not the worst decision ive ever seen but the wrong one IMO, I thought Cheeseman was quality for most of the first 7/8 rounds, surprise to see him use his legs and outbox Fitzgerald but he done a great job, side to side, never stopped moving and although he probably wasn't landing top drawer punches that hurt Fitzgerald he was still outboxing him in my view, he kept it simple, in and out, mostly single shots and he was getting his hook home first in the exchanges

Fitzgerald just walked forward crudely getting picked off, feet too slow to close Cheeseman down, I was disappointed in him until the later rounds when Cheeseman slowed down and started to hold his feet, not sure if it was fatigue or tactics because he's usually got a top engine but either way it allowed Fitzgerald to come into things, landed some lovely lefts to the body and Cheeseman was looking weary by the end, I had Fitzgerald sweeping the last 3 but still not enough on my card

Cheeseman unlucky not to get the W in his last 2 defences but they were both close in all fairness, still a decent fight

[Coco]

Fits was great against Fowler, but then maybe Fowler isn't special.
Also in the build up Fitz looked a proper nutter, maybe he is the sort who sometimes has his head right and trains and other times he doesn't

i think after the first few rds fitz was on the front foot moore so then cheeseman which is not like cheeseman fights. dont get me wrong it is not like fitz bullied him on the front foot, i just think it looked more so. i think fitz won

The interview with Cheeseman is bit worrying really. I had Fitzy winning but it was fairly close but if Cheeseman thinks he has been robbed he's deluded and all the "it's a sky conspiracy" but is just weird.

[handsofstone]

Twitter's going bananas pretty much everyone is saying Fitzgerald deserved the win, I never seen it myself, he wasnt effective on the front foot, Cheeseman might have been pot shotting a bit at times but i thought Fitzgerald looked a bit puzzled, cant remember him landing too much in the first 7 or so rounds

[TheLeprechaun]

I had Cheeseman winning for what it's worth.

[margaret thatcher]

Was really close, seemed it could go either way but with it all going to Fitz by multi points clearly the judges were giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I turned the volume down after 3 rounds because it was obvious Sky were cheese homers. He can’t use that as an excuse.

He thinks because he fought on the back foot and didn’t get hit as much he deserved the decision. He done less than Fitz offensively which is why he lost.

[Glass Joe]

Cheesman did what Delahoya did against Tito and coast the last 4 rounds (not as bad as Oscar). What lost him the fight.

[samwbr]

Ted won't be on sky again after that. He lost a close fight there isnt a conspiracy. They have pushed him out there and stuck with him after he got humbled by Garcia.

[mickey1975]

He headlined The O2 when clearly not ready, live on Sky! There’s no conspiracy. He’s been given favours if anything.

Fitz got peppered in sparring at The Ingles last week.
