    Oh I see what you did there, unfortunately you already made yourself look like a ****, so it's a bit late to be throwing insults.

    If someone eats 10-12 shots, isn't throwing back and the referee is helping him to recover, then I'd say it should have been stopped.

    The fight/ fighters and ref were a total disgrace
    The commentary wasn't much better
    They called it a barnstormer
    What a joke
    It was like watching two novice schoolboys
    And a drunken ref . Lmfao

    Towers is awful, I've been harping on about how **** he is, I was proved right last night, even Dallas could potentially beat him.

    Dillian Whyte should try and get a fight with Towers, would be a good win on his record.

    Think a few british heavies will be desperate to fight Towers now.

    Probably just about a legitimate fight for Fury or Price what with being a fellow unbeaten British contender? Then as said Whyte would like the fight i'm sure. Sexton, Mcdermott, Skelton... probably a few others would all fancy it after last night, and it would be a decent win on any of their record to make them relevant.

    I enjoyed the fight. Only seen Tony before in prizefighter and he was dreadful. Poor last night as well, Towers just needed to land a few punches and he'd have wanted out early doors, but he should have got the W in the fifth! Not promising from Towers, but could see him in some fun fights if nothing else.

    The corner didn't throw the towel in, Tony did that himself....it was one of the funniest things that I've seen in a British ring :lol:

    Towers wasnt in a position to be stopped, BUT the ref should not have allowed him to catch so many breaks as i do believe that Toney was going to get him. Awful ref'ing but an entertaining fight

    Gregory Tony is a worse finisher than Andy Carroll.
    Even with the referee being so awful, he still had ample opportunity to finish Towers.
    How funny though, when wanted to quit on his stool, that his cornermen just kept rolling their eyes and sending him back out there haha.

    Proper hometown ref if i've ever seen one.

    The only defence Towers had that night, was the ref. When he steps up, he'll be stopped brutally. Fighters like Price, Fury, Chisora, Sexton etc would have a field day with him.
