hard to score in some rounds, Hall just shading it at mo, but i think Napa will wear him down over the late rounds for a points win

I had money on a Napa points win, but you hope the guy in there is trying - Napa clearly wasn't. Struggled to make weight? He's about 4ft tall!!!!

Well done Sky, you've just had your pocket picked by another shite main event.

Next we have John Watson V Ben Lawler, who has lost 4 out of his last 5 on Highlights.

Some of the interest on the show is Jeffries- he is winning 'em, thats for sure. Still, not the best Friday Fight Night, I agree.

Strange decision by napa to quit but I'm not complaining as I saw some value in the Hall win and had a small stake bet on it, after initially predicting Napa.

I felt it would be a close fight but Napa was taking control, was such a strange thing to quit with 4 rounds to go and seemingly in command.

It's always my initial reaction when fights end for no apparent (or good) reason.

Watson looked decent.. took his time, finished the job.

Not half!

A very strange FFN tonight. Poorest night of action on there in a long while.

Thought the Napa fight was a bit of a joke myself. Hall was awful and Napa wasn't much better.

There comes a time in a fighters career when his head wants to still continue, maybe even his heart but his body just has enough after the years of hard training and fights. Look at Esham Pickering as a recent example, he's flat now and struggles againts guys who would have been no match for him a few years ago. I can see the same with Napa now, no disrespect to Hall as he isn't experianced and will no doubt even improve now he's British champ but he would not have lived with the Napa of a few years back with the experiance Hall has now. The desire goes when you have a long career, you dont want it to but it does and thats why you get fighters carrying on to long, they battle againts what another part of them is telling themself...If you get what I mean

It's just mad, because he was ahead on all 3 cards by a handy number.

He mustn't have realised.

To be fair to Napa, his last fight was a close loss at British title level- against a good opponent. That said, to bounce from one title defeat straight into another challenge might not have been the best move, but then hindsight is wonderful, and all that.

Thought the bodyshot Jeffries threw to finish the fight tonight was top notch. Power, precision and a good twist to the punch aswell. He took a bit of stick for the last fight and he again showed some of his rawness tonight but thats what these early professional fights are for, they're there to learn him certain things and the lad will hopefully learn from them.

Well in Tony, credit where its due there tonight. Onwards and upwards.
