That's a good, if strange, win for Nathan Cleverley.

Very strange because Braehmer didn't seem to be in any real discomfort and I thought he was up by a couple of rounds at least.  Had an ice pack on his elbow after the fight so can only think it had something to do with that.

Tyson Fury has now announced (on twitter) that he's retired.

[PaulWinch again]

And then announced he's not.

[paul_e]

which announcement came whilst he was off his tits on drugs do we think?

Great performance by Liam Walsh.

Last nights 'performance' by Bellew is the perfect ammo for the anti boxing lobby - he was completely unhinged in the way he fought with basically no defence and his behaviour after was that of a man off his head. 

Would go as far to say he gives Fury a rival as the biggest moron in boxing, not a fan of the way Haye sells his fights but sincerely hope deals with Bellew if the Angry Lego Man gets his wish for the fight to happen.

Bellew is a horrible twat, seems constantly angry and cocky. I don't think I can remember a single weigh in involving him where he hasn't tried to start on the other boxer physically. Has he actually beaten anyone with a pedigree?

Looks like Frankie Gavin has failed to make weight for tomorrow.

Looks like Frankie Gavin has failed to make weight for tomorrow.

He really doesn't give a toss does he....British & Commonwealth titles at stake...take his purse off him. He really doesn't
want to fight Eggington does he??

Wipe that blood of the end of your nose.

[villan from luton]

To be fair it was an excellent fight, does Eggington support the sty as well given that there was a lot of Blue in his corner?

[cdbearsfan]

He's from Smethwick so I'd guess he's Albion but have never heard him say one way or another.

[villan from luton]

Was a great fight anyway

And another absolute travesty on a Sky card.

Anyone else watching this?
