[margaret thatcher]

charlton needs to learn that not every punch has to be a ko swing from the fences

[Coco]

Charlton pressed more effectively, got off with more shots, Willis moving and not punching again. 6-2-1

[margaret thatcher]

willis shoudl be well ahead, but looking a bit weary with 1 to go

[skanksta]

Ffs point off - 95-95 ?

[skanksta]

Draw 33s ?!

Really good fight.

[skanksta]

Well I got 96-93.

Willis deserves it but US judges could have Rylan or draw…

[margaret thatcher]

even with charlton's late surge and the point off in the 10th, willis did enough for me

charlton spent too much time loading up, played right into the mover's hands

[Coco]

Charlton really went after him in the last and had his best round. Willis negated him successfully but lost a point for holding, 10-8 round
6-3-1 with a 10-8 round to Charlton.
96 -94

[George_Jones88]

I had it 95-94 to Willis so no problem with those scorecards

Charlton thinks he’s a lot better than he is. He beat a geordie ticket seller who can’t fight and done nothing else. Didn’t put the correct pressure on, didn’t go to the body, didn’t cut the ring off etc

Yep. Could still be in some great fights though given the right opponents.

I've put some money on Troy Williamson to stop Cheeseman tonight

[peter barlow]

Steve Gray and Howard Foster at it early tonight. At least the right man won.

[jameswilson]

Thought Willis was on the verge of getting a point off in the 9th as well the way the ref was looking.

He was definitely clinging on a lot at the end.

Reminded me of that unfortunate Okolie v Askin fight.

Askin's never fought since then oddly enough. Anyone know what's gone on there? Has he officially retired?

I’m warming to this as the fight gets closer. No idea how good Williamson is though given his opposition. It’s a terrific fight.

[golden_labrador]

takes a lot to stop Cheeseman

[peter barlow]

Maya Jama, Tony Bellew and Conor Benn

I'm sure that will go down well

[CaptainSpacerod]

Jesus Christ it’s like an episode of loose women

Give em their own channel ffs

He is one tough cookie.
I agree Williamson has some pop, but I won't be putting my money on it against Ted.

[maverick23]

I always find it amazing how empty the stands are early on shows. I’ve been to loads of UFC shows and it’s pretty packed from the first fight - I wish boxing was the same as the atmosphere’s great for every fight.

This has a really good undercard and it’s still only a quarter full at this point.

Yep very decent undercard too. Although it's a long evening if you're there from 4pm. But the pubs are likely full nearby. Filling up a bitvmore now.
