Another epic battle between Dariusz M & Jirov. I doubt that's the last time they share a ring!

[Fist of Legend]

luck of the Irish or what? Collins KO's Benn with a body shot in the last round after Benn gave him the beating of his life.

Benn really has to start putting his opponents away, he dominates gets careless and gets KO'd in fights he could win. Collins should have never been up after the 5th knockdown and Nigel probably could have finished the fight a round or two earlier

[gilgamesh]

Yeah that was an amazing comeback for Collins.

How did one judge not give Jirov a 10-8 round in the 11th?!?!


Great fight, I thought a draw would have been the call. They shall meet again!
