I missee the fight last night as I was at the o2 watching the ufc event

I was quite disappointed that they were on the same day as I would have liked to watch this pay per view also

From what my friends have told me though it was quite a disappointing fight and failed to really live up to expectations - I will reserve judgement for when I watch the replay though

Thought the ref possibly saved Frampton a bit possibly. Quigg looked like he might have knocked him out in that 11th round.

Trust me it was a waste of £16 in my opinion and I agree with @AW? I think Frampton was let off, Frampton looked gone in the 11th he looked over at his corner and looked lost.

Agree, but Quigg can have no complaints really. If he'd have boxed from the off he could have won that one comfortably. The second half of the fight was decent, but Quigg made the first 6 torturous to watch.

Yeah certainly wont be paying for another PPV for a while, Quigg did get a broken jaw which I found quite remarkable. When both fighters have something to lose its always going to be a cagey affair.

Lucas Browne becoming Australia's first heavyweight champion, rumours suggesting there are talks between him and Haye for a bout as his first defense

I think Haye's next fight dare is set for may which seems a bit soon for Browne to fight again after winning the strap

I guess it would be his biggest pay day although perhaps he could wait for AJ and fight him for more money in a unification fight should he over come Martin

Anyone Watching Eubank v Blackwell-cracking fight, both properly going for it. Eubank on top so far

Eubank always strikes me as lacking focus and a bit of calm and composure.

Blackwell taking a pummelling, but hanging in there.

Eubanks hooks to the body and upper cuts through the guard are looking sensational

His combos and hand speed in general look top class

He's just a little arrogant and at times complacent

The only way I can see him losing tonight is if he gasses

And if Eubank is going to taunt them all at ringside, I think he's got to back it up and promptly get him out of there.

Very impressive stuff from Eubank tonight.

Never a good way for a fight to finish but there was nothing else they could do with the state of that eye
