    Chilemba broke his right hand, apparently prompting the corner retirement.

    Chilemba quit because of a BROKEN HAND.
    Is it really broken?

    I'd like to see him have a few more fights before going in at the very top level but he looks very good.

    Pretty huge victory for Gvozdyk, who turned a chess match into an extended siege. He might not have cracked his foe's chin, but he sure as hell broke Chilemba's will in the last couple of rounds.

    Sounds good I'd back Quigley to win and by ko, but Stevens has game changing powered is capable of winning

    Gvozdyk needs more fights like these and needs to proactively adapt his style further, this was a good performance but it could be better.

    I'd also like to see him take a few more fights before Kovalev/Ward or maybe Stevenson or Beterbiev.

    However, he clearly is a good top 10 LHW now, maybe even top 5.

    I'd favour Quigley by decision but Stevens might still be too dangerous at this stage.

    I wouldn't be shocked with all those wild swings Chilemba was throwing.

    Cheers.

    He'll let Ward hold all night long.

    Tough to come back from broken will when you're getting pasted like Isaac was in the last couple of rounds.

    Good performance by Gvozdvk but quite a bit of room for improvement.
