    CBS was dead tired at the end but Chamberlain just didn't have enough left to end it.

    Fair play to Shane Mcguigan, he really does produce dramatic improvement in his fighters. CBS looked gassed at times but bit down on the gum shield and would not be denied and much respect to Chamberlain for his no quit attitude.

    Great fight. Really hard and gruelling one for both. CBS looked knackered from the 4th or 5th onward but one of his best attributes is his desire and he won convincingly albeit it was a very demanding nights work for both of them. IC is talented and tough and like CBS he has a good chin, a big heart and he fought valiantly all the way through.

    What the hell are you loling for, you daft ****? The vast majority of this RBR have it 116-112, with most saying there was a stretch of close rounds early, when CBS was dead on his feet. There's nothing remotely egregious or lol worthy about my scorecard.

    Why did they ask IC if he would be up for a rematch? CBS won clearly. It was an 8 rounds to 4 type fight for me

    Don't call me chief, and no, I was wrong about Chamberlain, he's undersized and just as shitty as the rest of the guys around Billam-Smith's level. Now here's a cookie.

    Nelson and Riakporhe picked IC beforehand then they made excuses afterwards. Riakporhe picked McCarthy to beat CBS too, both times if I remember correctly. We know CBS is a meat and potatoes type fighter and what he lacks in skill he makes up for in heart, toughness, strength, determination and power but I bet they keep picking against him even though he keeps proving them wrong.

    No one can convince me Riakporhe deserved the decision against CBS.

    Round 1 Pigford 10-9

    Joe managed to actually outbox the Ghanaian, who's quite slippery, but also very inaccurate.
