    I thought Bellew won by a round and Crolla won by 1-2.

    I missed some of the Mathews/Crolla fight due to the fighting in the stands, distracted me.

    Chilemba and Crolla won for me. The Crolla one was close but the Chilemba one was a landslide. Anyone picking Bellew and Crolla just listens to the commentary or picks favourites since Chilemba basically did the same thing to Bellew but much more convincing.

    Scored Bellew fight 5-5-2.
    Didnt score Matthews fight however Crolla didnt do enough in early rounds for me so if id give it to anyone it would be derry.

    I thought Bellew drew, but the rounds were close so could have easily been a victory for either. I hate giving draws but neither fighter really convinced me they did enough to win.

    Crolla i had by a round or 2, took the early rounds, Matthews was strong through the middle part of the fight but not quite as much as Sky made out, then Crolla took the final 3 imo

    Thought Mathews and Chilemba edged both fights. But I can see each fight going in the other direction because the majority were close rounds. I don't think any of the 4 fighters would be justified in claiming they were robbed.

    Crolla just edged the fight by a round on my card could have gone either way. Chilemba easily won its pretty clear in all honesty

    To you maybe but the majority of posters on the forums thought it was a very close fight. It would be clear for Chilemba if you gave him every single close round but if you look at it objectively, not much spearated them over 12 rounds. In truth, there was no way either man was a 'clear' winner.
