Heart of a lion. Even when he is hurt he finds the willpower and determination to plant his feet and start throwing, he looked really small in there compared to Hall. Didn't see the stoppage because my Sky went down but there appears to be mixed reviews about the ref stepping in.

I think Martin can definitely make an impact on the Super Fly scene if he keeps going.

Martin, great effort mate. You are a warrior and now one of my favourite fighters to watch.

I watched it with me father and mate who aren't into boxing, and even they were screaming when you landed a punch.

Are you dropping down? You will be a force.

I didn't watch the fight but it sounds like Martin is a pocket-Joe Frazier.

Well done Martin mate, I didn't think it should have been stopped especially as you had overcome the early barrage, You were starting to ask him questions I believe when it was stopped.. You can definitly come again, Weight below you would be the one with the advantages too!! As long as your strong at the weight mate...

Well Done again!! :TU:

Full marks to Martin for his bravery last night, how he got through some of those rounds and kept throwing punches back i don't know!!

hard call on the stoppage, i thought that Martin was doing ok in the previous couple of rounds.

Good luck for the future Martin, hope you earned a good payday you deserved it

I thought the stoppage was premature but I also thought it was one of them that will benefit Martin in the long run - I think he gave his dam best but it was a fight that was lost in my view as brave as Martin was.

I hope Martin has woke up this morning not hurting too much but he should have his pride firmly intact!!! :TU: :TU:

Is Stuart Hall related to Allen Hall? Only ask as both are from Darlington.

He looks like a cross between Dana White and Moby.

Credit to both guys - great fight.

You could sense ringside that Power was going to be overwhelmed then tough little bugger that he is he kept on coming back.

Great win for Hall at this stage of his career.

Great little fight

Martin is one of the nicest fighter i have work with and one i have a lot of time 4.He all ways gives a 100% in the ring, i know he going away on hols today and when he returns we will sit down and chat what Martin and his training team want to do wii have my backing. He is one guy in british boxing who everytime goes into the ring you know will not let himself down or the fans.

I assumed this, but as Ian told me, Stuart is no relation at all to Alan or Michael.
