That's the refereeing you get when you're the promoter's boy.

Brain damage..

That’s what..

Wow that was spectacular from Williamson.

Simpson didn’t have a hope of surviving that onslaught, Williamson with so much in the tank.

Not going so well for Shalom and the BBC.
Another one of his charges bites the dust.
Simpson didn't look great in there tonight.

Simpson has a lot of heart trying to get up but he was out of it. Williamson was great tonight. Well deserved win. Excellent fight

Haha. I messaged him on Facebook yesterday,... Simpson's there for the taking. Attack the body. You'll get the late stoppage. Although TBF, he didn't reply and has no idea who I am. :lol:

One thing's for sure, if it was Williamson on the deck like that, he would have been stopped.

Oconnnor would have carried Simpsons back to the corner

John lewis would have had simspon winning most rounds and he interesting if Foster would have let that go on as much

Simpson weight drained ? He looked awful.

I got told he was tight at the weight last week. That said, he didn't fight tall tonight, next to no lateral movement and didn't snap the jab.

Would have been jobbed on the cards. Had Williamson ahead before all the knockdowns but Simpson was in front on all three.

That's why Troy could walk through his jab, nothing behind it.
He looked really flat tonight, take nothing away from Williamson, really great Indian summer to his career.

Maybe to an extent i'm underestimating how well Troy boxed and how tough he is but Simpson just didn't seem able to deter him at all

When your opponent walks in the ring with an 'I won't be denied attitude', you need to be on your game. Maybe Callum had an off night, but I think he's looked fragile for a while now.

Not a bad fight, too untidy to be good, but a great result for Williamson and a dramatic ending !

I really thought Troy was just being brought in for Simpson as cannon fodder, but Williamson boxed with purpose and kept thumping those right handers over the top of Simpson's guard to great effect.

Destroyed the home fighter, snapped an unbeaten record and bagged 3 titles in the process. Troy must be elated :yay:
