    He did very well. Quality boxer puncher with great feet.

    Calm down, clearly the matches with Briedis showed he's vulnerable late, and CBS as we saw against The Okolipus knows how to fight KO artist southpaws.

    Very impressive from Jai. Massey is one tough dude and he wasn’t able to get anything going at all.

    Solid professional job by Jai, but really not the most entertaining watch. Not a fan of his attrition style.

    Uhh no. He had promotional issues and was ducked for years.

    Impressive performance again from Jai. Lovely skills

    I feel sorry for Massey he took a real pounding. He's tough as they come and he landed a few good ones of his own but he was outclassed and taking a beating and his corner pulled him out so he could live to fight another day.

    Which is exactly why I give CBS a good chance against him.

    Everyone on here knows that Jai vs CBS is nothing more than another mismatch. I want to see it, but the outcome is obvious.

    Yeah, Earn is a good promoter but an awful matchmaker.

    Fine. And I'm sure there are ads on those free fights. But when I'm paying for a fight I don't think I should also sit through them.

    No knockdowns,no staggering around. No head snapped back. No I don't want guys getting hurt but this is boxing isn't it?
    Massey didn't look hurt to me.

    Yes it was good call from Gallagher. I think he's been criticised previously for being too slow to throw the towel in, but he was spot on there. Also followed the towel in tk to make sure Steve gray didn't ignore it!
