    What a fight last night between these 2 boxers. I was ringside best fight I have watched in very long time.

    Not saying either are going to go much fearther than area level but shows the importance of good matchmaking.

    Ware won by brutal ko in 7. Might be repeated on Eurosport.

    Will look it up. I boxed Frankie Borg a few years back in the amateurs, lost a cracking fight that could have gone either way on the scorecards. He is a talented fighter but has always had a suspect chin. Also he got into a bit of bother and spent around 7 years behind bars. He must be about 36 now, Eubank Jr and another fella from Birmingham I think have also stopped him with pretty brutal ko's. Maybe time for him to think about his health and future, hope he does not get hurt from the sport.

    Haven't see the KO yet but have heard about it, was it worse than the one he suffered against Eubank Jr?

    Wow ! Good fight, a nasty stoppage at the end though. They are the ones that worry me, ones where they are exhausted. I hope he's okay.

    To be fair he has always sounded lke that but agree he needs to have a long thing about his boxing carrer.
