    According to today's Daily Record Willie Limond may have to look at the possibility of retirement after his fight with Khan.

    Apparently its the 3rd time he has perforated his ear drum and will have to look into an operation to sort the problem but if that fails he may have to call it a day.

    I really hope this isnt the case and he manage's to get healed up correctly, he did himself and his country proud after his courageous display on Saturday and i hope he can get back on track soon as he is a very good pro who still has a decent future ahead of him in the ring.

    Apparently it was a career high pay day so hopefully it was enough to look after him.

    That would be very sad. This fight has been a shot in the arm for his profile.

    Yup, hopefully he can come back and make the most of his new found fame, get a few more decent paydays.

    That would be gutting. He has a big chance to make waves at euro level.

    Real shame. He came to win and was as brave as they come against Khan. He made a fan out of me with his gutsy display on Saturday, I really hope he is able to heal up and fight on.
