    He did, actually.

    Steve Gray botched that one badly. 98-94 Lee?

    I had it a draw and if pressed to swing a round either way it would be the very close first (which Lee got on my card) so if anyone deserved the hand raise it was indeed Fitz.

    CERTAINLY not Lee, by four points. :-(

    Besides, on the actual night Fitz was all class about it:


    I can see how with time maybe having watched the video a few times and having Lee now in talks for a huge shot at Golovkin, why he might have gotten a little salty over it.

    He really did get screwed. A draw would have sufficed, and maybe Lee by a point or so would've been reasonable and not the huge slap in the face 98-94 is.

    Hoping to improve his station and get a decent payday, using the fact that he gave spirited efforts against big names in Lee & HNN as leverage to do just that? :huh I don't see how that is something he ought to be criticized for. More power to him. Bit harsh to hope that he gets knocked out for it.

    Be that as it may, there is no way he beat Fitz by four points in anyone's mind but Steve Gray's (and maybe not even his...) and he maybe shouldn't have officially beaten him whatsoever.

    No he was insulting lads and threatinging them because they disagreed with him over the Lee fight, fans IB not boxers, the chap is a fool IB I met him before a few times, arrogant wanker.

    Fitzgerald is just talking up with new team-mate - Macklin. Although he did feel he won the fight with Lee too. To be fair, having spoken to Fitzgerald in the past, I believe he honestly does believe that Macklin is the superior fighter because he said the same before he joined them.

    Ah, fair enough then. Personally, I did think he did enough on the night to either squeak by Lee or get a draw at the worst.

    Did any of ye see the Nevin-Moylette fight, the word down here in the west is that Ray was robbed. Love to get an unbiased view.

    I thought Moylette won and he seemed very annoyed by the decision.
    Any predictions for the finals Matt:bbb

    Irish people are only good for drinking. Not boxing - except for McLarnin

    You drink Irish people?

    Do you blend their flesh up with ice and Bailey's, or how does that... ?
