That was pure excitement from the first bell. I can't remember the last heavyweight fight that good.

Yep and a big event for for a fight that was not a world title contest.

I had it as a draw and that was being kind to Clarke in the later rounds. I can see how Wardley could have won it by three but not the other way round. The point deduction was fair but Wardley did get away with at least three backhands so perhaps justice was done.

Yet again, this fight showed the difference between top boxers and mere mortals. Any one of those punches would have had us waking up sometime next week (Jon Crofts and Big Daz excepted, obvs) yet they both took clean shots for twelve rounds and barely flinched.

Top of the bill tonight should be good but the rest of the card isn't up to much.

Willie Limmond has died ten days after a brain seizure. He was 45.

Tonight's bill isn't up to much but in the early hours Devin Hamey v Ryan Garcia could be interesting. If you haven't been following it, Garcia has been melting down all over social media in recent months, weighed in 3 pounds overweight, paid a $1.5 million forfeit and starting drinking beer on the scales.

Nokes looked good although Mendy was in thereto see the 12 rounds out which he did.  Interesting to see if he can go further, nice set of belts he has now though

Yeah a very impressive performance, all 3 judges gave it 120-108 to him, first time he's gone 12 rounds.

There's a good fight on YouTube now - Shakiel Thompson v Vladimir Georgiev.
