Good performance from Smith. Time to step up. What do people think of the comments from Gallagher at the head of the show? I thought he lacked class.

Gallagher lacking class? Shock, Shock horror, horror

Absolutely classless, keeping quiet when asked if he would shake John's hand at the end was disrespectful, Smith's body shots were class.

Didn't see Gallagher's interview, but his column in the MEN yesterday seems to have been along the same lines

It's a difficult position Gallagher is in given his past with Murray. I fancy Crolla to beat him via late stoppage.

Yes, I think there's a little bit of a double standard really. if someone is slating you all over and in the papers then it's not genuine to say that you wish them well and that you'll shake their hand after - it's a phoney position.

They are both as bad as each other but when asked that question why not say yes and be the bigger man.

Warrington beat Monroe, pretty easy - a good powerful display and the corner pulled Monroe out after 7.

Warrington looked very good, munroe looked very bad. Very sad to see Monroe go out like that

This is a load of rubbish!! Bad match making

nice punch

Looked like a good show before, most of the matchups looked pretty reasonable, but they've turned out to be mismatches, can happen sometimes and if the main event's good no one will be complaining.

Munyai was worse than that crap Argentine from the last fight. Never thought that could be possible!

Nice punch when your hitting a defenceless person

James is gonna be in a state of shock reading that

Expected a lot more from him, didn't look like the fighter that beat Power and Haskins, hardly threw a punch, one right hand on the spin in the first round is the only meaningful punch I can remember him landing.

Obviously not the greatest of opponents but the punches were class and I just get the feeling that people seem to be bigging up everything frampton does and playing down everything quigg does. I really like both fighters, they're both world level in my opinion, just no where near as good as Rigo!

I think it is going to be one of those divisions where you have 1 guy way ahead of the pack with the next 3 or 4 guys fairly closely matched.

It's not that I think Quigg is shit. I just think that Frampton looks a more natural, fluid boxer (probably the extensive amateur career) ... Quigg looks robotic to me in his movement.

Yeah exactly. Great location by the way! Class film!

I don't think he's too robotic. He's powerful to the head and body and has the engine for 12 rounds at world level. Frampton has proven he can box on the front or back foot though so I see your point in that regard.

Don't you just love how after this fight and Frampton's they name every champion they want to fight bar Rigo? It is like Rigo doesn't exist.
