    Selby, Frampton, Galahad..

    29-0

    Give the guy his due. He's done it the hard way, like Froch did..

    Galaped lost. Rightly so.

    Well what's he supposed to do when he's getting headbutted and wrestled first?

    I agree with the better ring IQ part but he wasn't throwing enough in my opinion and therefore for me wasn't winning the boxing match. He definitely wasn't winning the fight. Therefore I think the right man was awarded the W

    Of course its subjective, but you labelled the Warrington cards as comedy.

    Imo Galahad showed very poor ring IQ and was as far from a ring general as can be.

    At best you could say he dictated the pace of the fight and stopped Warrington doing his best work up close.

    But he didn't make Warrington pay for all his missed punches, he never looked like the man bossing the action.

    He was utter shite.

    Felt like a drawish fight, but I won't complain about the result. KG took his foot off the gas and allowed Warrington to take the final three on my card, and you can't do that in a fight with that many closely contested rounds.

    apparently he's a bit sorry for gouging out the man's eye. so that's all right then. he's a thug.

    Course not. You reckon Warrington beats any of them? Think he stands the best chance against Valdez for me. The other two will cause him nightmares imo

    Not going to continue this. If you could not see what Galahad was doing in this fight then you should really find another sport.

    Was not a robbery. Was a close fight could have gone anyway. After winning the first half of the fight Galahad’s output dipped, probably didn’t do enough to warrant the win.

    I'm not a fan of either fighter. In fact, I think dislike both of them. But that was a terrible fight and the reason it was terrible is because KG put on one of the most hideous displays of spoiling I've seen in a long time. His holding made Tabiti's look positively tame in comparison and the ref should've deducted numerous points off of him for it. The spoiling tactics KG employed tonight is literally the style of 'boxing' I hate most of all. It's Andre Ward/Clememte Russo-esque and it's hideously ugly and it always sucks every ounce of excitement out of a fight.

    I feel like a pretty solid Mexican fighter would give Warrington all sorts of trouble! I can’t see josh holding on to that belt for very long

    Santa Cruz boxes his head off for 12 rounds no problem

    I see Warrington vs Walsh next at Leeds fc

    No expense spared on the BT Sport presenters

    Black Skellington

    Old annoying guy, Dempsey or something I’m sure his name is

    The guy who used to do the Champions League on ITV with Andy Townsend and Robbie Earle

    What a lineup

    If the style employed by Galahad was enough to crown world champions on a regular basis, I'd happily find another sport.
