    ^ on that basis - maybe with Meli being basically a part-time boxer - that would suggest that if he had the benefit of being a full-time boxer like Cummings, that he would have beaten Cummings???

    UTV will be showing a one hour highlights package on Monday night at 10. Only found out tonight, Cyclone must have been keeping it quiet so as to not hinder ticket sales

    Had it 94-94 myself, everyone around me had Cummings by 2 or 3 although he was very lucky with the referee

    Was meli better than everyone taught or was conrad worse? I think Cummings has a great pro style but I don't think his the smartest fighter who can make adjustments

    Bit of both, saw Meli against Pagan during the summer so I knew how high his work rate would be, but he showed great skills as well last night, made Conrad look very foolish.

    To be honest Meli is a LMW, must have been about a stone in difference between the two on the night.

    What Cummings did show is great strength and fitness, will be tough to keep off for 12 rounds, and even Meli was knackered in the final 3 and by all accounts he is a freak of nature when it comes to fitness

    Just going by photos there IS a big size difference in Cummings favour for sure. All the more credit to Meli.

    Did anyone get a choice to select a frampton or quigg section when buying tickets?

    Quigley racked up another win last night.
    Didn't have it all his own way though apparently.
    Went the distance for the first time

    Was against a tricky journeyman though the guy who beat shane mosley jr. And a guy who would come to win. It was a good step up imo

    Well that's good news for me then. I got 2 tickets through matchroom fight pass. But no option to pick whos section so I assumed I'd be with the quigg fans. Obviously I wanna be with the frampton fans though. So its probably all just mixed
