Well, thats a contender for KO of the year.

What a strange fight that was, Osman looked drugged or something. What was up with his balance. The shot that he should have recieved a count for wasn't much, and the strange thing was he hurt Halls and just stopped punching and dropped his hands?

I noticed that even after the fight it was Osman who seemed to be on the more rubbery legs. Perhaps it was his footing/the canvas - but if not then I would like to see him call it a day with the win as he is clearly a shot fighter.

After seeing Osman being the victim of a rediculous home town decision on the Gammer vs Francis bill, I would have also been rooting for him to win - and despite the rubbery legs and balance problems, I could see it coming off - cause Walls' defense was awful and looked to be hurt every time he did connect.

A very bizzare contest.

Osman looked totally shot to me, no legs at all and every shot he took hurt him... he seemed to be out on his feet at the end... gutsy win for him but he should call it a day...

Osman did well but how poor was Junior McDonald?

Very disappointed in him - I thought he was meant to be a real dangerman but he was far too passive when it mattered against Eastwood.

Either that right hand shook him up more then it appeared from TV or he just didnt reaaly want it. A showing he will do well to rebound from - fair play to Eastwood on securing only his second stoppage win.

The last prospect on show, Akaash Bhatia, was a far more impressive looking fghter. Despite all 3 contests now going to full route I think he showed good skills, handspeed and a decent dig.

His showcase amateur blitzing of Vinnie Mitchell might not be the last big win that this Maloney managed fighter secures. He is one I will be watching out for in future.

Good prep for Osman, who fights Darren McDermott for the vacant British Masters title in Dudley on the 26th October.

I have yet to see it, but it's a good win.

Tom Podmore.

On the evidence of last nighst showing Darren will steam roller Osman within 4 rounds.

Hussain is still strong but his balance looked awful.

Darren is on the way up and should do a number on him.

Yes, I couldn't understand why he was tottering around at the end, when was the last time Walls hit him clean?

I dont think Osman ever got over the punch that put him over in the first... but his legs looked pretty gone from the start of the fight... reminded me of Carl Thompsons legs in his last few fights...

Didn't think it was much of a punch that hurt him then either, he was swaying back and I didn't think felt the full force. As I said in my first post, what I thought was odd about that was the Osman hurt Walls, stopped punching and dropped his guard without Walls responding... Then Walls caught him.

It was a most peculiar fight.

Walls didnt seem to have much punch resistance either really... it was a bit like a poor mans Sellers vs Stewart... now that was an up and down fight!!... 8)

No, and his defense was awful - I didn't like the way he threw his punches either.

Thats why I could always see Osman winning, despite him looking shot or drugged.

Walls has some scary eyes on him... though they look like they'd cut up very badly...

Osman deffo looked shot. He'd go out with a good record if he went now.
