    I was a bit disappointed with the fight night Saturday to be honest.
    Barnes was not in the fight at all..good champion though.
    Fury has shown nothing to say he can beat either wilder or AJ
    Even though he has lost the weight he still looks in poor condition and his lack of punch is very evident.
    Carl had a solid win against a sub par opponent.i feel thr Warrington fight could well be his last.
    Any body there??what sort of atmosphere.tougher to get a good buzz on outdoor arena..

    I thought it was Ok, Paddy was too small for his opponent and his style was made for him also. Fury showed no power but I think he just wanted rounds. Crocker looked a bit of a one trick pony but hopefully he will learn, hard to know with Carl, he looked good but Jackson while game, was limited. Crowd very well behaved-and wet!

    I thought it was a decent night of boxing. Frampton opponent was game, game, and yes he was game. Fury needs at least one more fight before tackling Wilder.

    you're prob right don't want to seem overly harsh, i suppose the whole Windsor park thing i was expecting bigger fights and/or better opposition..

    What do you mean about Warrington being Carl’s last fight?

    I'm with you I found the quality of the fights lacking. I didn't think Paddy Barnes was ever really in his fight and was ill served by whoever put him in the fight. Crocker is game but it wasn't much of a spectacle. The Fury fight wasn't great, the circus before and after didn't do much for me. Frampton fight was best of evening but although he's a class act his opponent didn't have enough to trouble him.

    Bit annoyed we didn't see Luke's fight on BT Sport having enjoyed the Cummings one.

    If he beats Warrington I think he tries for a unification with Valdez or the trilogy decider with Santa Cruz. If he loses maybe he calls it a day. I think he beats Warrington as it stands.

    Did anybody else feel Collins was a bit hard done by in the Ward fight?

    The scoring will always favour the northerner when fighting in the north, in a close contest.

    It’s been known for the scoring to go against the southern guy even when he was a clear winner. Ask ormond!
