    Not one that boxes 3 minute rounds, but "Dalton's gonna be a superstar Koogs"....

    no promoter has more than 1 world champion, vacant WBAs aren’t found in UK cereal boxes like in 2016

    True. There are only 4 male UK world champions right now. Hopefully Cordina regains his title in April against Rakhimov.

    Given the Benn thing, I find it really hard to believe that sudden 1 punch power he found to win the belt. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a very sedate version of Cordina like Cash after the Bentley fight

    Brilliant performance by Wood and Lara. Real value for money scrap.

    The closest man to the action who's job it is to assess the fighters ability to carry on who was Michael Alexander who was a boxer himself thought Wood was capable of carrying on.

    I have been terribly busy with work over the weekend and have now seen most of Matchroom's event from last night and what a performance by Wood. He was well on his way to winning on points and for large periods made Lara look like an ordinary boxer. Understand well if Wood wants another fight against Lara. What a fight !

    Big mention to Billy Allington. What a fit, game hard man. Dalton Smith had to work hard for that one, and congratulations to him. Great fight lads, enjoyed that one.
