    Class shone through there

    Two great fights tonight though

    I did say when this announced despite how uninspiring this show was on paper, that there would be a cracker on here

    Nice to get two

    Yafai did exactly what he needed to do for all this hype around him. Get him out there again before the end of the year, Jay Harris possibly?

    Thank goodness for Walker and Pattinson, otherwise this would have been up there with one of most boring cards I’ve ever seen

    Well that was quick. Yafai wins by 1st round TKO when Frank's corner throws in the towel.

    Was Flynn vs Baker decent? At least the main event was over quickly.

    @Wizbit1013 I think you tagged me asking why I rate Dacres so highly. I think he beat Sokolowski in better fashion than Fraser Clarke and David Adeleye. I think he is technically better than all of them including Fabio Wardley. My concern is his lack of power - I didn’t see him today but I expected Dacres to win by stoppage. Let’s see I genuinely think he beats all 3 of them.

    Yafai did what he should have done given his credentials, the hype around him, and his age. He doesn't have time to waste in these fights. Get him in with Jay Harris before the end of the year.

    Yafai attacked from the beginning and the overmatched Frank was ... well ... overmatched. Galal never really caught Frank with a great punch but he hit with a lot of good ones.

    Yafai looks like he can Limbo dance between Hearn's legs wearing a top hat

    It was a cracking fight


    Dacres was poor tonight, looked levels below current British Heavies

    Definitely not better technically than Clarke

    He didn’t do badly you know mate before the losses he was selling over 1000 tickets scoring for at least a 10a off each one more for some of them.

    I heard Ritson nearly battered him in the street. Ritson wasn’t on a ticket deal so he was actually helping Joe sell them to make him a few quid on under card. What I heard is Ritson had the better of it easily in sparring but Joe was going round saying he’d beat him or something so Ritson wanted to chin him for it which is fair enough if true.

    Had Cyrus won today it would be him vs Ritson a better option for Cyrus would be Joe Laws, then maybe a Rylan Charlton, then Ritson.

    Been in a lot of hard fights now Cyrus and I’d like to see him use his boxing a bit more.

    Had I seen this earlier, I would've most likely said Pattinson-Walker.

    It was going up against Spurs vs Man Utd followed by Man City vs Newcastle - very tough competition, I would imagine as a result it will of been one of the lowest viewed boxing event of the year
