Josh warrington unbeaten english champ and new commonwealth featherweight champ 16-0. Holds 2 wins over unbeaten fighters (male and samir) as the away fighter. Thought he boxed to a good plan last night picked his shots and upped the pace at the time samir started to blow fantastic performance. Was shocked the bookies had him at 9-2 to win. Was a good 50-50 fight fair play to both lads. Thoughts ....
Warrington did a great job last night covered up well from Samir's wild shots early & picked him off with some clean,crisp combinations. Good entertainment from both fighters wouldn't mind seeing them do it again at some point.
People r carried away with that it was a 4 round fight and selby was ill. Samir was offered a rematch turned it down then turned down his mandaotry postitoon to avoid selby.
Warrington looked really good to be honest and I am really surprised that Warrington's first stoppage cause he drove forward well and had a decent array of shots. He sat down well on his punches. Now though it depends on what route he wants to go. If Selby does relinquish the championships like I believe he will. The maybe Walsh v Warrington for the vacant British would be a good match up
