Thank the Lord Ryan Walsh boxed superbly to beat Tyrone McCullagh.

Nothing against McCullagh personally, I just cannot stand the style of "boxing" he employs.

Running around the ring pot shotting the whole fight and excessively clinging on for dear life as soon as the opponent looks to work in close. I can't bear it :brick: Extremely damaging for the general appeal of boxing IMO.

The referee should have pulled him up long before the final bell and ordered him to fight.

Walsh kept his composure impressively, used superb head movement to make McCullagh miss and great persistence to get on top of things by the half way stage :bow:

A well earned victory and great news for boxing in defeating the "run, jab and grab" merchants.

Yeah, I was getting worried that Mccullagh might 'nick' a very uninspiring victory.

Walsh kept his cool, closed the distance and turned the fight around.

Walsh vs Dickens is a very solid looking final. Much more so than Davis vs Mckenna (who was very lucky to progress imo).

Is Walsh still British champ? As having the Lonsdale belt on the line in the final would add a bit more spice.

Wouldn't we all like to hit and not get hit? :maybe:

Walsh is hideous to watch himself. As I said before, he needs the handle pulled off a grenade and had it shoved up his a*se in the ring.

Ya Walsh has a bit of 'come forward looking mean but not actually doing much' to him. It's part of why he has so many close fights on his record.

That said McCullough is a whole nother level of stinky
