    Missed the fight but I'm delighted for the 'Dappa one', his talent never matched his achievements for so long in his career and now he's getting what he deserves. Granted he has come on in leaps and bounds.

    I know Damaen Kelly was thinking of a comeback, he toyed with Napa the first time and I wonder now will this convince him to make that comeback a reality.

    Anyway well done Napa, he won't make it at World level but I'm sure this belt will help him earn considerably more cash and as European champion a lot of respect.

    What a terrific little fighter that man is. It really takes a skillful operator to overcome being so vertically challenged and lacking in both strength and power.

    The scoring was horrendous, and the punch stats a joke. Ballone never hit that many shots. All those flurries on the ropes that impressed Jim Watt actually did ****.

    I agree, I thought Napa won this quite comfortably in the end.

    They say you can't teach old dogs new tricks but it seems that Ians punches had a bit more pop last night.

    where'd you get 2/1 healy?
    late in the evening i was going to ring paddy power - they had him 11/8 for points...but that was late in the evening, there may have been money going on him during the day...i think they mentioned that too on the telly...

    good bet....even if i didnt do it..


    was surpirsed he downed him in the 10th...didnt think he'd have the firepower for that..even if it wa accumilative effect..
