    Take away the crowd and that wouldn't even be considered close. Hamilton CLEARLY won that fight.

    It was close IMO. Hamilton and his people knew even in the fight he wasn't doing enough. He needed to take it away from Curtis. He didn't stop Curtis momentum and allowed Curtis to have periods of success in a majority of rounds.

    He can only look at himself and demand better. He knew what he was going into and i think it was a close bout that could of went either way and sadly for Hamilton he will live to regret his plan of action tonight.

    Hamilton to me tried to pick moments of pressure maybe he doesn't believe he can fight at a high pace throughout.

    Hamilton looked clueless in there at times.

    He underestimated Curtis and paid for it...

    It was a close fight, how can you seriously try to brand that a terrible decision? I thought a lot of Hamiltons punches looked weak and technically poor, you can't score points just by touching your opponent on the head with your glove. But then he'd throw an accurate combo from angles. He was inconsistent and was pushed back nearly the whole fight. Curtis was out-jabbing him for f**ks sake! I wouldn't argue with anyone seeing it a round either way but I don't think it was a terrible decision.

    I thought it was a lazy performance by Hamilton.

    Tbh Hearn signed Hamilton so i would of expected it the other way. I like you know neither guy but i call it as i see it. Fight was close and Darren's reaction says a lot. He knows he could of done more, A lot more! but Curtis got it right on the night.

    All the best to both of them.

    Didn't see the fight but Boxing Scene had it a draw.

    Did Curtis say if he's retiring or not? He should retire as things won't get better for him then ending as British Champion.

    Billy what did you think about Campbell's performance tonight? How did he look against Ricky when they sparred think he needs to start stepping up opposition?

    i had curtis at 5 to 1 on betfair , he was 10 to 1 in the 11th round , but imo never has there been a more deserving slice of lady luck ! coming into the ring with a rapper never helps ur case either , curtis would of lost that fight 9 times out of 10 imo , but last night he found something else, had the whole place welling up when talking about his dad , and the 50/1 .... well done troll hunter !
