    Hatton Jr. showed an incredible fighting spirit and he can be proud of himself.

    If his name was not Hatton he would be fighting in leisure centres and town halls he is very very poor no power falls in with his chin up in the air and smothers his work theres a reason they wont put him in with anyone who can punch a bit.That was an area level fighter that beat him easily tonight so what's his level?

    Great win for Dalton. Was really interested to hear his thoughts but Hearn grabbed the mic to shout ‘I dare you, I dare you’ and made it all about himself.

    Plenty of things I’d dare Eddie to do, like tell us what happened to proving Benn’s innocence for a start.

    Spot on. I like Dalton but he deserves some proper exposure now. My mate went to the show and said even though they cordoned most of the arena off it was still half empty.

    Then who do you think is Adam Azim's best matchup is right now?

    Because right now, everyone in the top 10 are older than Azim by quite a bit nor is there any reason for Adam to go fight them right now

    Surely if you want Azim next you wouldn’t sign a new Matchroom deal? Makes it much easier to make the fight if you remain a free agent, by all means go back to Matchroom after the fight though.

    Call me a cynic though… “e didn’t want it koogs”

    Hearn did his usual skill of managing to contradict himself in the same sentence. Went from wanting world titles next to calling out Azim who’s ‘levels below’ in the space of 5 seconds.

    Very fair point and perhaps it is due to the Nick Ball fight being a World Title fight and he was underdog.

    He openly said "Daltons world level, but we are happy to drop down a couple of levels for Azim because the fans want it Koogs". All about the fans. His success rate at pulling off these type of fights is terrible.

    Fans?! Dalton Smith?!.....what fans! They were having to give tickets away for free on seat filler sites like almost every show he headlines just to get it a quarter full last night!

    Smith is a good fighter and I'm sure he will keep progressing, good luck to him but even Eddie must realise his profile is almost none existent.

    Really fun show live. Didn't think there were any amazing fights but most fights were good. Dalton Smith impressed me, great performance. Hungover today. Sofa, food, water. Let's go!

    Crowd was about 5K I think. I was there live. Atmosphere was good, can't argue with 47 quid tickets. I got value for money and my view was spot on.
