Brave lad is Simpson going straight back in for the rematch, Probably not very wise though, as most people are saying, it’s rare you come back from a bad knock out immediately and turn the tables, although Leigh Wood did it recently

Fury nothing special. But I was surprised he had a six rounder first out.

Good job the journeyman couldn't hit hard

No power and easy to hit is not a good combination…. But at least he’s handsome

If the Lithuanian had more ambition he’d win
Mickey was saying he was a good amateur, I struggle to see how based on that. Debutant nerves? And who's idea was it to put him in with a southpaw in his first outing?
He was. Very decent. I don't get why they did 6 x 3's against that opponent on his debut. He obviously believes in his own bullshit.
6x3's against a southpaw. Madness.

I don’t think ginger Jack is expected to win this fight, he’s not handsome either

Hassan pounced at the first opportunity. He’ll have tougher nights in the future but he can thoroughly enjoy this night.

A few weeks back you wrote that Dan Garber was 'decent' yet the fat 3 - 13 - 1 dwarf who lost to Clarke tonight beat Garber.

Where have you been anyway, big show in Leeds, you're proby 'close to the team' of all the Yorkshire based fighters, and a Legion's lad on the bill, I thought we'd had at least fifty posts from you this week?
I'm here mate. Are you?

Smith says Gradius is very handsome, but he doesn’t think Sean is, so has Gradius slightly ahead on points as a result

Fortunately for Hemphill it didn’t matter that he squandered the once in a lifetime opportunity to win a continental belt.

Being handsome gives you a two round advantage for sure

'Here' as in on the forum or at the show?
I'm at the show. As you saw, a Legions kid was on. I try not to comment on them good or bad nowadays.

Bit of an annoyance that everything now has to be at an Arena (whether it merits it or not) when a smaller venue would work better.
