Jeez he wasn't that bad ?!

Agreed it's hard to see him reaching the top, but he's got a Euro title in him, Shirley ?

This Philbin v Pagan fight is good.

Looking at their records I would have to agree with that. Cornish has beaten no quality opponents at all, even since the Joshua debacle he has fought only safe opponents with losing records, doubt whether he deserves a shot at the British title at all tbh.

I bet on Sexton when he was the (very slight) outsider.
Seems a sensible bet, but what's worrying me now is.., does anyone know the "medical reason" that Sam pulled out of the first fight ?

Still, if he really is getting only £4k, then it's a not a "pension-fight". Surely suggests Sexton has some ambition to win this and make a bit of money off the potential future fights.

He never impressed me at all really, he scored a lovely KD and did hurt the Peruvian fella to the body a few times but he takes too long to bring his hands back up after throwing, I'm going on all his pro fights in my assessment , he could be manouvered into a European title shot but I'd be surprised if he reaches Euro level abilty wise, I hope I'm wrong though coz he seems a top lad

Hey. He was totally out boxing Joshua for 50 seconds. Have some respect

Landed a jab more than Martin at least, probably enough to get into the Scottish HW Hall of Fame

What a fight

Great fight, close but no doubt TOC will have it a shutout one way or another

Just remembered there's 3 scoring judges

Nobody likes a draw but...

Really was.
I only starting watching in R5 when someone on here said it was good - thanks whoever that was.

Was anyone scoring it RBR ?

I had it a draw 95-95.excellent scrap

That's fair enough, but no argument with the two 96-95 cards.

Ive heard about Tiffney for a while now, 1st time ive seen him and so far I'm impressed, only good fighters have done this to James

I'm sure Barry has called him TiffAny about 5 times.

Looks like Sam Sexton is sat behind Askin, must be a relative surely

Good atmosphere for a 3rd undercard fight.
Tiffney looks good and sells tickets.

Gary Jacobs is no oil painting! I remember yearrrrrrrs ago Arena did a photo shoot with Gary Jacobs (I think he was in the front cover?) and I believe the Collins brothers???! Great photos....but

How time has passed!

Very impressed with Tiffney, great engine for someone who hadn't been passed 4 rounds, throws the shots in bunches but as Barry Jones pointed out he never smothers, bullied James in there

I think there might be quite a lot of money to be made betting on the winner of this fight against Dave Allen if Allen wins against Thomas for the commonwealth.

One thing I'd say is I thought they looked much closer in height than I expected looking at the face off.

Bit random

Didn't he do time for nicking a minute?

Sexton/Cornish vs Allen for the British and Commonwealth - seems bizarre when there are so many great/promising British heavies around.

Surely Price can get back in the mix ?
I'd like him to get a Lonsdale belt outright - seems a great guy and he guarantees a KO one way or the other.

The main event may well need judges...
