If I was pushed, if I couldn't have the draw, I'd pick Robinson, but it was that sort of fight, depends what you like, so no argument. I thought M landed the better quality but he didn't do enough for me.

Yep, I would love to see a rematch - looks like Markham wants to move on though

This has been a very enjoyable card, Boy Jones impressed me and the Markham fight was a great dust up. I hope BN crack on with regular cards next year involving there young kids - Yearde, Jones Jnr, Benn etc

I scored it 95-95.
Markham won 4 drew 1 got a 10-8.
Robinson won 5 drew 1 -1.
Had the overall impression Markham was winning and he had the crowd, so close decision is fine with me.
X2 on the rematch

Sahota fails to show his much vaunted 'ability' again.

Skeete by ko he is getting better each time cant see thain having any impact on skeete. Wasn't his biggest fan in the past but fair play to him could be world champ in 2 years

Sahota keeps failing to show his much vaunted ability.
I don't know much about him but he looks like he can get tagged and marked up quite easily, even at an early stage at pro

Unfortunately - from a fan's pov - this is a bout between 2 counter punchers. It got better in the 3rd when Thaine came into it a bit.

It's an interesting test for Skeete for sure. How good will Thaine be going into the later rounds? He's done better than I expected so far tho I've got S 2 up.

Ive got Skeete 5-1 up, the last round very strong from him, looking menacing
A stoppage wouldn't surprise me now

Too easy for skeete. He is very good at exploiting mistakes from the opponent his jab is excellent. Very careful and clever boxer but you cant allow skeete time to think very rarely has thain tried to go in the inside to rough him up
