Enjoyed that one. Davis had heart.

He was due to be fighting at 140. He weighed in at 149.

As they were saying on SKY, he just hasn't got the power to be a welterweight, but hasn't got the dedication to operate at a lighter weight.  Looked very laboured again tonight against limited opposition.

It must be hard for him to get motivated when he's fighting eight rounds down a bill he should be topping.

Yafai looking very sharp, but the Japanese lad already showing that he has real heart.

[FrankyH]

Yafai looks like he is tiring.The Japanese lad just doesn't look like he has enough to finish him if the fight swings his way.

[J]

What a tough fighter that Japanese fella is.

Dave - did Lennox Clarke fight? I thought he was on the undercard and due on Sky.

Drew with Karel Horejsek according to Boxrec.

[Rotterdam]

Thanks. I couldn't find the result.

The way Boxnation shows an entire bill means you can see really good down the bill fights like this one.

I didn't think Frank Warren was still in the business, but there you go, and he doesn't look like he's aged in 20 years.

He's putting some good bills together now. He doesn't have the big names but he matches fighters well.

He's putting some good billa together now. He doesn't have the big names but he matches fighters well.

That's like the polar opposite of how he used to be - names whose records must be protected at all costs.

That's Eddie Hearn's job now. So far tonight I've seen a decent if one-sided British title fight, an absolute war and two very promising youngsters. Now we've got a British fighter challenging a genuine world champion. It's the sort of bill boxing was made for.
