    Ingle didn't say anything disrespectful or outlandish, he was answering questions immediately after the fight.

    When asked about the bodyshots Ingle said Kell told him the body shots didn't bother him. Do you want him to lie?

    When asked if Spence was the best welterweight Ingle said he's up there with Thurman among the best in the division. What's wrong with that? How is that not respect? Ingle said he's not on Mayweather's type level (superstar). How is that disrespectful?

    Ingle said the eye damage was the big turning point, until then he felt Kell was a couple of rounds up. How is that disrespectful? Shock! Horror! Trainer feels his fighter was winning a close fight.

    The Porter fight was more physically taxing, he believes the eye injury was the main factor in Spence getting on top. Shock! Horror! Trainer feels his fighter suffered an unlucky disadvantage.

    They're hardly comments to get upset over for gawds sake. His fighter wasn't whitewashed, he lost a very competitive fight. He'd be a right shit trainer if he DIDN'T think a tweak here and there could have been the difference.

    Fenster backs the U.K. guy no matter how many excuses he made, anyone surprised?

    Kell was honorable. Ingle was despicable, but go ahead and excuse it. You and Ingle seem to think excuses are fine.

    Ha ha, just seen the hordes of armchair warriors on the BBC website saying how they think he is a quitter.

    I doubt any one of them has had an orbital bone broken, lost their vision and then fought past exhaustion against a brilliant fighter who wants to take your head off.

    After Victor Ortiz broke his jaw he seemed to like taking a few early exits.

    No, he is not a quitter.

    He might have been permanently blinded in that eye if the fight had continued.

    You cannot take comments by those who have never sponged a punch serious. They have zero validity. He's always conducted himself as a professional and deserves nothing but high praise for working himself back to proper weight and meeting his mandatory. Spence was not a quitter, what he was was a beaten fighter who frankly was taking more damage than just the eye. By far it was the major significant damage, but there is a whiff out there like Spence just got a few lucky punches in or something.
