Perkins showing why top class amateurs really don't need mollycoddling.

Very nice.

Does anyone else get wound up no end when you see birds at ringside (that is a technical term - not women or ladies, but "birds") who clearly don't give a toss about what's happening in the ring, and clearly won't have paid for their ticket ? Gets right on my wick.

Me too.

Are they afraid he will lose against anyone decent?

Ask Eddie why they knocked terry Flannagan back for Kevin

Since we can't realistically do that, could you tell us ?! (not being sarcastic, just an honest question. I imagine the answer is they didn't want to let Mitchell near him ?)

The fact that Eddie told Fielding to go and eat breakfast and fluid up before the weigh in is pretty appalling. That's not right.

Johnny Nelson's attire - is he auditioning for a new version of those cheesy 1980's milk tray ads where a james bond type bloke would risk his neck to secretly deliver a box of chocs to a fit bird ?!

I like how McCrory admitted it was very disrespectful of Fielding to be 3lbs over on the day, think sack it now I'll have a drink and come in almost 7lbs over! Meanwhile the opponent makes the limit. The perks of being the home fighter: if the shoe was on the other foot pretty sure the fight would be off.

McDonald is becoming an embarrassment.

How did Perkins-Ochieng finish up?

Ridiculous!! Heard better ring announcers on amateur shows.

The ref gave it by 1 point to Perkins! Another shoddy scorecard.

"The number 1"?!

I'd love it if Brook gets sparked out. He's so boring.

Missed the last round, but up until then I had it 70-62 to Perkins, Ochieng landed one clean punch in the first 5 rounds.

By ensuring he hasn't spent the last six weeks down the pub

Halling does chat some shit. Brook look another weight class.

Would sound a bit shit if they announced him as the number 12 or something.

I dont think jumping up from that to Vasquez is smart though.

Just announce him as the special one instead of the the number one the special one.

Brook doesnt look that great to me.
