    Very good fight but not better then Moore vs Macklin. Ayres-Rigby was a brilliant LW fight as well.

    It's a notch below the best of the last 15 or so years domestically, IMO. I still think that Arron-Webb is the domestic FOTY.

    The thing with this fight as good and high tempo as it was it didn't have the ups and downs of other modern day classics.

    As Kos said the Webb fight had a fair few it ebbed and flowed and Webb was heroic in his battle to cling onto his title but sadly couldn't hear the last bell. Mitchell Johaneson as s23041983 says is better as well.

    Very good fight none the less.

    :good Gomez v Johannson was a belter as well

    Mitchell v Murray and Simpson v Lindsay are my favourites so far this year I think

    In my opinion better then Webb-Arron but not as good as Moore-Macklin. Still a classic though.

    Sykes. I think Mitchell vs Murray seemed better because of the **** around it.

    Yep very true.

    Also i've never been one to moan about Rawling but i thought he was awful last night. Mixing up names and at times just shouting randomly.
