    Tom Little upset Tom Dallas in a rematch of their 2012 fight. Not really a surprising result and something a lot probably expected given Dallas' poor form as of late.

    1-0 Josh Sandland upset Dominic Akinlade who was knocking on the door of an English title fight... I wonder if he'll still fight Nathan Gorman in April?

    Surely Dallas will call it a day now?

    Can't see how the board can justify a shot on the back of a loss. Saying that connwell was passed to fight Bowen at super feather after being stopped so nothing surprises me.

    Didnt know Bowen was fighting him.
    I saw pat Barrets interview explaining what his intentions were for zelfa and i also noted steve wood didnt bother with the purse bids, he said that this one is better putting on the burner for a bit.
    I would favour zelfa personally especialy after a few more fights.
    Bowen is keen tho.

    Cornwell since pulled out with a injury. Bowen v devine is at purse bids. Haven't seen either tbf. Just frustrating at 2 unbeaten prospects doesn't happen yet again. Happens way to much. A loss isn't the end of world.
