Good point, I don't want to give Craig any disservice - it was a career best performance last night for me. Clear winner. However, I remain convince something wasn't right with Matthew that night.... he was so much better before and since. I would favour Craig in a rematch, but its a tough fight to call. Matthew has proven himself, to me, a very worthy EBU champion. Not worthy of a Light Middle title fight, but I wouldn't begrudge him one at Welter - if Gomez got one.

I agree - Joe has done a great job with Craig, getting him motivated and fit. You can see the passion when he is interviewed.

A job very well done

I think both are top guys, Joe is at all the shows always (including all the am's) and gives it 110% just like Craig when he fights!!
