Fingers crossed that Troy Williamson enters the ring inside a Trojan horse to take naffess in boxing to new heights.

lol, that would be good.

Hard, ugly fight so far.
I give the Trojan the 2nd and 3rd - 29-28.

Referee letting pretty much everything go here.

This is ugly, ugly stuff...relatively entertaining but an ugly mess. Williamson does know he can throw uppercuts right?

I think he made a comment last week that he had a straightener on the cobbles in Tunbridge Wells tonight.

It's "what you like?" Troy's power or Scarff's volume.
|'ll sit on the fence with 67-67

Scarff is winning it on body language.
Celebrating like he's won the round and smiling at the end of it could be enough to nick it.

DRAW

Draw for me.

At least it ain’t the BT Studio

Very surprised at that scoring. Can’t see how you can give that Williamson by 3 rounds.

I've no problem with Troy getting the dec - he did more damage throughout - but as usual it's the unanimity that makes you feel a bit queasy.

All 3 judges preferred The Trojan's heavy single shots over Horrible Harry's workrate and cleaner boxing ? Really ?

feel sorry for the boxer who should have won

Richie Woodall and Andy Lee versus Matthew Macklin and Jonny Nelson. It's like night and day.

Love Andy Lee. Says it how it is. No playing the company man. Big fan of Richie too. BT blinds Sky for punditry and commentary.

Andy Lee and Andy Clarke are, for me, the best combination in the UK....but I can't recall the last time we had those two together

Think they did Smith v Ryder together as Adam Smith was doing the Wilder Ortiz fight.

There’s usually around 5 people in the York Hall anyway..

Is Frank allowed on the Arena?

We've had another dodgy decision then? Unable to tune in tonight

zzzzz

It's not the venue, it's not the commentary, it's just a shit fight between two men who have styles that haven't gelled and neither one has that intensity to up the pace
