    Impressed by Rockys shot selection tonight and variety. I've not watched a lot of him but I've never seen him as that type of fighter.

    Paul Smith would be a good fight for him. Should be beating Paul, he's not a super middle really.

    Dodson is done.

    General forum thread was going into meltdown over it but take what you will from that IB had him a clear winner.

    Credit to the underrated Oliver Harrison for developing Rocky.

    Fair. Grachev just outworked him late on to pinch it. Not a lot in it by any means. Erdei would have comfortably outclassed him, probably won every round in his peak.

    They're going on like it was robbery of the century in the general, didn't see it like that myself, Erdei made it closer than it should've been after tiring in the second half of the fight it looked like.

    Think Rocky has the right idea to have a couple more fights first. Can imagine him vs Smith would be pretty huge in Liverpool though.

    Really enjoyed the Fielding performance and Reid was a machine. Rockys far too accomplished for him but brave doesn't even start to cover it.
    Although listening to his interview damn unlucky to have never having lifted a weight before in his life and when he obviously dropped it on his head.

    Following on from Villa, spends a fortune and does **** all.
    Terrible media loved but limited manager.

    Needs to get his chin down when on the attack but his inside game has come on and his man strength is coming.

    Not sure whether we learned anything new about Fielding. Good puncher but that wasn't the greatest pace and he was on the verge of huffing and puffing even though he had most of it his own way. Also easily hit by an extremely limited guy
