    He is a good fighter and i would never disrespect anyone that steps through the ropes. Its a case of overrating Foster and slightly underrating Burns, Burns would take this fight 9 times out of 10. Gutted for Foster tonight though.

    Tbh it was worrying when he had a black eye going into bout. Then as fight moved on Rawling mentioned weight.

    The lad showed massive heart to keep going but he just fought poorly and had nothing going for him tonight.

    The other lad put the words of that Sky article down the idiots mouth.

    Yer i think overrating Foster on the Leva performance was always a danger the lad he fought tonight was really nothing special but as many mentioned it looks like the weight might be a big factor.

    If he moves up to lightweight there are some decent domestic fights to be had a rematch with Matthews maybe

    He is dead at the weight, I also think that he overlooked his opponent tonight...:yep

    Foster must move up if he wishes to continue boxing...:yep

    It didnt look to good from the start for Foster, black eye, then Will Mellor in his cornor :D

    Brave performance but he just didnt have enough in the tank, plus he said he had a virus at the end of the fight.

    Hope he can come back from this maybe go up a weight.

    Burns v Buckland would be a good fight.

    All I think people were saying is...he could have fought Stephen Foster Jr in an all British clash which at least would have maintained some interest rather than fighting this total Afrobum. Not that Stephen Foster Jr is great, because he's not and thats been shown in the past.

    But...we got the Afrobum so oh well. Should be a thriller.
