    Watched the fight live and it was very close, gave it to Wright by a round but Simon was working every minute and I had no problem with the draw as I recall.

    Simon would have been a handful at his best for most fighters but his career was cut short, for various reasons, not all of them good.

    Wright fought well in the fight and I thought a draw was a perfect result, shame about the scorecards and you have to think something strange went on.

    Have seen it happen a few times to be fair and not always in favour of the home fighter, so perhaps it was genuine although unlikely

    The fight was extremely close.

    I gave it to Simon but only just.

    I remember watching this fight live as well- long time ago. Simon won due to relentless work ethic.

    Simon was a real good fighter, pity about the car accident.
