Sep 19 Stephen Smith (22-1) vs. Devis Boschiero (37-3)

I thought the ref ruled the knock-down a slip and then suddenly changed his mind Ian John-Lewis style. Feel for Saunders. Hope he comes back strong.

Why do you feel sorry for him? Wasn't getting his own way and took the easy way out. He knew he'd get dq'd when he done it, he didn't even looked fussed

I've been following him since his early amateur days. And it's never nice to see a prospect lose a fight that he's heavily favoured to win. He looked dejected to me in the post-fight interview.

It might be down to bad hands but I've to say Saunders looks a million dollars against people who can't fight back, he was knackered and didn't want to be in there when he got hit back.

[Boxing Prospect]

Dodd really showing up inspired, just like Garrido...great to see the under-dogs really give it a go!

[palooka]

Saunders was blowing after the first round. Clearly been cutting corners in his preparation. Hearn fed him to the wolves there.

Against a man with 2 inside the distance wins?

[sgtcecil]

78-74 Dodd on my card

[handsofstone]

Physically Buckland doesnt look like he was ready to fight for a British title

For me he's one of those guys that should of stayed amateur, he'd of picked up far more there then he will as a pro.

[Boxing Prospect]

Wonder if anyone had Garrido, Dodd and Boschiero to all score upsets...

Yh maybe. I do wonder how some of great amateurs (Kindelan, Felix Savon) would have fared in the pro ranks.

[handsofstone]

Superb fight,as good a 10 rounder you'll see this year,credit to Dodd he got a late oppurtunity and he took it, he really raised his game for Buckland and wasnt overawed at all,Buckland probably felt beforehand he would walk through Sean and stop him eventually but Dodd was the one who got better as the fight went on and Gary didnt look the fittest although he still sets a frantic pace but Dodd outboxed and outfought him

Top notch from both men,congrats to Dodd and i dont think ive ever seen Gary Buckland in a dull fight

[Jedz910]

Lol @ Sean Dodd. Gives a 10 minute speech then ends it with, 'I'm lost for words'. Haha

I tipped Boschiero earlier in the week if that counts :)

Can still get him at around 5/1...shocking and I couldn't say no, 23/2 for the stoppage...tempting

Only got the end of the Buckland fight but don't think he is finished just yet. Him and Tommy Coyle would be fun.

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Sparse crowd can't be more than a few hundred in by the looks of things.

[handsofstone]

There's something in the air tonight i dont know what it is but id be worried from a Smith point of view

[Andrew]

Was expecting a lot more from Boschiero this guy is no mug.

Smiths power looking impressive good to see as he will probably need a knockout to pick up a belt

[brilo33]

[Jedz910]

Top performance from Smith. But mad respect for the Italian dude for getting up from that body shot.
