Okay here, according to Britishboxing.net are the results of the fight academy show.

Buster Keeton is the new British champion with a 7 round stoppage of Lee Swaby. Good result for Keeton, I have to say I did favour Swaby.

and.... in a big kick in the teeth to the BBBoC - Alan Bosworth beat Matthew Hatton via a 10th Round DQ. I think Matthew is alright, a bit harshly treated in some quarters - but I am chuffed about this result. Here hoping Bosworth will fight be allowed to fight the winner of Daws vs Morrison next time!!!

Lee Noble beat Jack Hibert on a 6 round stoppage

Nick Smedley gained some experience beating Jon Honney on points over 6

Adam Kelly beat Tye Williams on points over 4

Jon Ibboston beat Rob Burton via a second round stoppage - so its an improvement to his shock draw to Burton in their first meeting. Burton must be a right pie boy at Light Heavyweight.

Fair play to Bosworth!

There cant be many who train themselves in their own back garden who do as well as he does..

What was the reason for the DQ?

I fancied Swaby to win the main event - ol' Buster must be over the moon!

Norton's style is all wrong for Buster - its going to be a short reign for the cinderella man.

Norton would start a heavy favourite, but winning the championship can bring out another level in a fighter.
Although i did say that i thought there were other boxers at cruiserweight that should have contested the British title, i am very happy for Keeton winning last night, he's a value for money boxer who has been through alot of tough fights.

Good luck to him and fair play on a good quality win. He has had a long hard career in the shadows at a very successful gym - today is his day in the sun and I am sure he will be enjoying it.
I bet when he was getting KO'ed all over Europe he never thought such a day would come..I goes to show what hard work and determination can bring

As I understand it was a good fight last night but I still think it was undeserving of its lofty status.

Still, I hope he makes some decent money on the back of the title - if I were him I would try for a different first defence then Norton though - he will get counterpunched to a standstill..
