I was shocked seeing him knocked out in a round after some of the rave reviews on here of how tough he was.

He is tough, but the ones you don't see hurt you. He got himself off balanace on the ropes and turned into the shot.
At the time I thought Luke was doing well enough, he seemed to of spooked Fielding in the pre fight introductions, and was making a good aggressive start, Rocky was having to hold close in. Then in a flash it was over. Surprised.
Rocky is looking a good counter puncher in there now.

Great result for Rocky, Luke Blackledge accused him of ducking him in August, he should have ducked in round one. :OhYes: :zzz:

Fielding was dominating and finding Blackledge very easy to hit.

I wouldn't say dominating him at all, Rocky was more accurate, but was having to grab hold close in tightly, thought the ref should of said something to him.
Anyway excellent result for Rocky, British title shot can't be far off

See the fight with Skoglund he is one tough ba$tard. No matter who you are in this sport get caught with a shot like that you are only going to the canvas.

Just hope Fielding has a significant step up next year. Paul Smith is a perfect fight for him IMO but he doesn't seem keen which I find odd
