    So do I. Haye started off using Cleto and Grant gloves on his promotions and Warren does it now as well.

    Quigg-Murray-Roberts-Marsh will be a good quartet at Super Bantam in the next few years.

    Murray will end up at feather IMO, for some reason he wanted to prove that he could make SBW :huh

    I've noticed that Maloney's stable are using Grant's more often as well now.

    I don't think Roberts is going to knock many people out with Reyes gloves, Margarito handwraps and rocks in his hands.

    Roberts warming to the task quite well in Rd 2.

    Looks talented but no power.

    Definitely looks like he has no power but he can develop that.

    The potential looks abundant in this lad Roberts, I like him

    He's not your typical British figher in terms of style is Roberts. Wish we produced a few more 'slicksters' like this.

    Yes you're right. Although, if this kid is successful, he may suffer from Junior Witter syndrome.

    Great win for Macklin - didn't expect him to win so soon! Right time to stop it as well IMO.

    Renda with knockout of the year! The way he put those punches together to finish it, very nice indeed.

    Roberts looked decent, could go places.

    That guy in the last fight was made of granite :lol: Reminded me of the Simpsons ep. when Homer becomes a boxer and just lets the other fighters punch him without throwing anything back.

    J Murray didn't show too much in 1 round, but he certainly has a lot of potential.

    M Murray and Quigg looked good again - time to step it up!

    Why didn't they show Vassell though? He was one of the fighters I wanted to see tonight, was he taken off the bill?
