    Could be an interesting scrap funnily enough. I think we could be seeing Big Shane against a lot of prospects in the future.

    I don't think Shane got into the game to pick up belts but I'm sure he is In it now to humble a few frauds. I bet he loved being under the lights on Saturday turning up fat as a pig and sticking it on the gordie drago, I was so glad he didn't get robbed. Hope he sticks at it and finds his place on the circuit like kamil has. Hopefully takes a few 0s and will have my support every time.

    To be fair to Gill he gave it a right go and easily beat Drago- would be a test for most English level fighters/prospects on the way up.

    Bet on him in play against that weird looking Robinson fella, how that guy has sparred the likes of Whyte and AJ I’ll never know, Gill was 12/1 in play whilst lighting him up like a Christmas tree, I know the bookies have cottoned on to the robberies now (Campbell Hatton was about evens in the last round of his beating against Martinez) but those odds were too good to turn down, I agree he would probably beat Adeleye

    Shane Gill would be a fun addition if Boxxer put on a one night heavyweight tournament like they did with the lightweights a few months ago.

    No one really knows how good Shane Gill is, as Drago is that awful. His footwork and feints were causing Drago to freeze or completely miss.

    It was great to see the right man win. This didn’t happen of course when Adeleye himself was taken to school recently by Sokolowski. Somehow they gave Adeleye the decision, even though if he can’t beat Sokolowski then he isn’t ever going beyond British level.

    Good on Shane. Great performance and came out on the right end of a decision. I am quite sure if he keeps training hard he can improve and keep the fans entertained and earn a few quid.

    They (or someone affiliated) did a heavyweight one which Nick Webb won. I do like these one night formats, generally fun to watch and quite unpredictable.
