I didn't think Walsh deserved to win to be honest. Ceylan was picking him off all night. The 117-112 to Walsh was a strange card.

Was thinking he maybe scored the second knock down that the ref called a slip? Thought on the whole Walsh didnt do enough to win especially away from home

I wonder where Walsh will go now?

Back down to British to box his mandatory?

Dammit missed this totally. Got into one of the SKy fights and by the time I remembered and turned it over they were showing Eubank repeats again.

he should go for some fringy international belt or something to get himself into the big scene. he's too good for british level, and can hang on the euro scene so is worthy of some kind of shot at the big time. may take a bit more manouvering than if had won the euro, thats all.

Wasnt a great fight but I have no complaints with the verdict, I had it 115-112 Ceylan as well,Walsh started off excellent scored a cracking knockdown with that uppercut but kind of struggled to get any momentum going,he had success as an orthodox but when he switched southpaw, he was eating right hands and couldn't get his own shots off,he did better when he switched back but then turned lefty again,gutted as I fancied him to look good but Ceylan is a very clever fighter and moves well and uses his height and reach well,I think he'd give Selby some tough spells

Really close fight. I had Walsh a few rounds up but I just edged him in a few due Ceylan going back a lot.
Was a close one. Both talented fighters.

got to say despite not getting the win walsh showed great improvement on Saturday, agree with the previous poster that he is above british level now and should be trying to get some international experience

Close fight that could have gone either way. Walsh showed good punch power, but just didn't land enough punches to convince the other 2 judges.

Fair decision and Ceylan had a nice, busy look about him. With home advantage those Danes are tough to beat.

Excellent win for Joe Murray. Gets his career on the right track again

Watched this yesterday after reading and decided to try and score it I thought 115-114 to Walsh.. Very close fight and Ceylon was very effective on the back foot.. I felt Walsh looked like he was chasing the fight. Also if this fight was over here Walsh would of got the nod by a few rounds.. He should defend the British get it outright for his old man then an assault on the World stage.. Very good boxer far better as orthodox that southpaw

Agree about the stance. Looked far better orthodox on Saturday.

I thought Walsh was very disappointing. His footwork and speed of foot was much slower and cumbersome compared to the fleet footed Ceylan. I had Ceylan winning clearly. I thought Walsh knew he was losing and knew he lost at the end. I don't even rate Ceylan that highly to be honest.
