    It was three years ago TBF; and Kelly boxed and moved without getting embroiled in exchanges (not a criticism of Kelly, that was the right strategy for him). This fight is a great illustration of why you shouldn't go to war with Williamson; he can seriously punch and is hard as nails.

    You could see it coming Williamson just had too much dog in him and he throws with bad intentions

    What a great last two days, two of the people I detest the most, get sparked. First Jake, now Callum. Hopefully Andrew Tate gets taken out next.:D

    That's some straight up capping for sure. How does anyone look at the roster and not see that Adam Azim is his biggest star and the one genuine fighter he has with potential to become PPV star.

    Is he really? I think Azim is a great talent, unsure about PPV star, didn't his team put the brakes on him. Also his last fight was on DAZN I think, he is probably going to be promoted by Turki with Ben lurking in the background.

    Seen Anthony Fowler talk about how him and Troy were around 168 as Amateur both cutting to Light Middle turning pro.

    Maybe this is more natural for Troy, I thought he looked great. I’d like to see more fighters fight at their natural weight classes. It will never make sense to me that they feel they have to cut as much weight as possible for the advantage.

    That was truly some of the worst reffing I've seen in quite some time. The UK need a complete ref overhaul.

    It's cool to see Williamson pull of the upset, and he's always fun to watch... but I thought you liked Simpson. :lol:

    In its own way, it is also a British stoppage, just on the other end of the scale.

    Fair enough.

    I knew after Simpson got dropped twice the last time out his resistance was suspect so Williamson was definitely live going into this fight and proved it.
