    Dickens looks very fit i'll give him that but needs a hell of a work on him with regards to his style.

    Dickens picking his punches very nicely in the last round, he's clearly talented but extremely green.

    Great learning fight.

    I really don't think Dickens was that hurt to the body by Fernandes. Just the commentators mouthing off.

    He's been messy at times, he looks a little confused about what his ring identity is, but he's got some good attributes. He's not just ABC for a start. This will be a good fight for him.

    Dickens is trying to hard to score a KO, he needs to shorten his punches, get himself a jab and remember that the left can be thrown straight too. Some of his head movement has been good though so it's not all terrible but he's not ready for Gallahad, at all.

    Dickens lacks variety with the right hand. He's got that style where people at that level are wary of going in because they fear the left hand which has nice angles.

    I think Fernandes done well to stay in the fight after a heavy KD. Dickens needed that and can learn from it.

    Fielding vs Reed. Could be a good fight.

    Grachev/Erdei shortly. Interesting one on paper.

    Good performance by Dickens, he's a talented lad who looked much better when he shortened up & straightened his punches. He timed some good counters & showed some nice defensive moves.

    Obviously needs to settle down & stop loading up so much but clearly has potential. Another concern was he got rather predictable after his early success but its an important learning fight for Jazza.

    The domestic SBW division is looking very healthy

    Could barely understand Dickens there

    Not sure why Cardle is still doing 4 rounds at this stage, at least we don't have to sit through a long fight as we know he ain't stopping anyone.

    Cardles lack of power even at this level is evident.

    With the way Cardle is punching, I'm not surprised he's got cut.
