    Judges filling in the cards at the end. Giles definitely won rounds on the back foot, Gomez was outboxed the first half of the fight.

    This would be one of the few times you're dead wrong.

    You might be right. Most people had it to Giles. I might have to watch it back one day.

    To me, the judges who scored for Gomez got it right. He made the fight, threw more punches. Dominated, as I saw it. Giles ran all night long.

    He ran, and landed FAR MORE while running. Aggression means **** all if that aggression is ineffective.

    Actually you were right on the money as I saw it. Gomez made the fight and threw more punches. Giles ran, ran, ran.

    Just because you're taking a slow and steady tinkle on your opponent and not trying to drown them with a heavy forceful one it doesn't mean you still aren't urinating on them :facepalm:

    Giles took the slow and steady approach

    I like Fraser Clarke. Not sure how good he is as a boxer but he's a top bloke...
