    Willings finishing with the upper hand is just lovely to see, what a lad. Hope to see plenty more of this unheralded scrapper.

    Ref scores it 78-73, giving Willings a couple of rounds. I thought about scoring the last one for him, but that's about all.

    78-73 haha love that, Willings getting a generous showing on the cards for the shift he put in. Fair play for nicking a quarter of the rounds in a fight versus a far higher level opponent.

    He’s from my home town that lad. Certainly didn’t disgrace himself. I imagine the nerves affected him too, he looked tired quite early on. Good experience for him.

    Fair play to Willings. He ate everything that Whittaker dished out and sees the final bell.

    Whittaker, even in victory, with his ' I can get him outta here any time I want' self belief, and didn't do it, will have put some negative reasoning into that ridiculous psyche of his.

    Just a matter of time before he gets starched by a decent opponent.

    Willings is tough, pretty skilful himself and he put in a very credible performance coming in at such late notice. Pleased for him.

    Mark my words, when Whittaker comes unstuck against a world class operator who can crack we'll witness an epic chicken dance. He can get away with this at this level, and his length enables him to do so too, but when he does lose I suspect it will be of the HL reel variety

    He comes across as a lot more likeable in interviews and I don't mind him but he's getting KTFO at some point

    Considering the level he's been operating at and the jump in level he's taken here, you've gotta be greatly impressed. Honestly would love to see him even making it to an English title eventually. He's got plenty of good things to work with, the double left hooks were working well and his shoulder roll is nifty enough.

    Looking at the LHW scene he will probably win a vacant belt at some point but will swerve the likes of Azeez and Buatsi until there is a belt on the line so we can expect these low calibre fights for a year or 2 more.

    He will never face Bivol or Beterbiev and he souldn't as he gets Iced by both.

    But he will get a belt at some point.
