    £260k must have gone down nicely.

    Nice story.Perhaps next time he will come over here for more than just a payday.

    I am not a fan of the Daily Mail but their website usually has a new boxing article up every couple of days at mos,t and as this one shows some of them are a decent read.

    Yeah good story, at the end of the day he wasnt good enough, if he could have fought for the whole 12 rounds he may have just nicked it.

    He was down 2, 3 and 8 rounds on the cards. He was never winning that fight.

    Fair enough, like the article said and I thought, after 6 he was winning so if he could have continued how he fought the first 6 in my opinion he would have deserved to knick it.
