    Barry lost to the better man last night. Hopefully he can come back from it.
    Entertaining show. Donte Dixon looks a real prospect and Baumgarner was impressive.

    I'm gutted I didn't stick a few quid on Kiko. Fair play to him though, was a great fight (probably one of the most entertaining Kid Galahad has been in) and was a lovely knockout punch. If Galahad goes straight for the rematch I'm putting money on Kiko knocking him out again.

    Be honest lad, what a horrendous result for your beloved boy eh? I bet you were well disappointed. Thats up there AJ-Fatty isn’t it, very embarrassing. Bearing in mind Quigg stopped him in 2 rounds best part of a decade ago. Unification? Turn it in.

    Tbf a couple of belting stoppages on that card though.

    Well done mate. Never easy to watch someone you are rooting for get beat

    Especially when you've known them from being a kid.:)
    That's boxing. In most matches someone has to lose.

    He deserves it, especially after getting shafted last time he was over here.

    On a side note I think Barry deserves some praise. There’s a lot to not like about him but you can’t knock him as a fighting man. When was the last time someone won a title and defended it 14 weeks later, yes even if it was supposed to be a straight forward easy defence! I wish more fighters would be more active. That’s why Canelo is head and shoulders above everyone at the minute.

    When Barry won the title it was getting on to 2 years since anyone had even boxed for it. There's a long list of fighters who didn't want to fight for it last night.

    Yeah, the likes of Jordan Gill was offered it and didn’t fancy it. As I said you can mock him for getting Knocked Out but at least he’s willing to get in there and fight.

    Definitely big congratulations to Kiko. I didn’t think for a second he would win. It’s boxing though and that’s one of the exciting moments that shocks fans and keeps our sport flourishing. Kiko deserves all the accolades and hopefully a rematch can be done.

    Me too along with 99.9 % of boxing fans. Massive upset, but well deserved by Kiko.
