    Have to give credit to booth in the first 4 rounds looked like he might have enough to outwork molitor but the bodyshots took their toll.

    He proved he belongs at that level i don't know if he will get another shot maybe against Rendall if he wins? Would like to see him get Rendalls old euro belt and get a few defences of that put some money in the bank. God knows he has earnt that at least

    Everyone knows I'm a big Jason Booth fan and have admired him for the last few years.

    he did'nt do him self no ill last night, where he proved he could stand among the champions with a brilliant boxing display with Steve Moliter. Moliter is thought to be THE most skilled super-Bantam champ at the moment and Jason hung with him in the skills department and just lost because of the strength of Moliter IMO. Although the fight could have went either way IMO.

    I'm proud to say I'm a Jason Booth fan.

    I was down last night but on reflection Booth did very well. Molitor is not brilliant by any means but is much more experienced at mixing in World Class and Booth did enough to win the first four rounds and earn a draw on my card.

    I don't think he'd find the 118lbers as strong, although it's full of top level competitors. I think Booth could do some good work down there, bar the Euro route now there's not much else he could go for at 122 IMO, a fight with Poonsewat isn't logical, might he wait for Munroe (and could it even be made?) ?

    Booth is a class operator though, cemented his reputation last night IMO by being so competitive with a World Class fighter.

    I had it a draw last night and i feel really disapointed for Booth, he gave it his all and thats all we can ask, he made everyone proud.

    He seems to not have much in the way of legs at this stage of his career, but he's got a huge heart and is pretty strong for his size. He may have a hurrah or two left. :bbb

    Less and less fighters like him now, as the numbers dwindle and fighters give up easier. Sadly it won't be long before fighters with his love for the game, mentality, skills and decency are very thin on the ground :-(

    Does anyone have a video of either of the Booth-Napa fights would love to see that as I never saw that the first time around, two truly skilled fighters at their best.

    Right im on my soap box now. Jim Watt is a ****ing *****.... Round 11 scored that fight to jason booth 10-9, now **** off, more like a even round, theres a pattern with Watt that he always blindlessly backs his man if he has bigged him up before the fight im fed up with listening to that Scottish *****, Sky should get rid of him like the other Scottish ***** Andy Gray.

    both fighters were bloody great for three weeks notice , booth had a bit of working out to for the 3/4 rounds but the man is amazing ,he digs in and finds a way to win even if he never wins a world tittle will always be thought as a champ
