Simpson was bossing the Fight.

Simpson said afterwards: "I'd love to give him a rematch, it was a shame that the referee stopped it when he did. I felt that I was just ahead on points, but it was a tight fight. I'd absolutely give him a rematch, he was good enough to give me a shot at the title and I'd have no problems giving him a rematch."

Truscott said: "I felt I was sloppy at times, but I was coming into the fight. I was starting to let my hands go, then I got caught with the head. It wasn't his fault, but fair play to him he's the champion."

Gotta say Truscott's pulling on the head bugs me, he does that a lot.

Trusscott wasnt enjoying it

Chris "Hightower" Burton sporting a new haircut cruised to a 80-72 win over a Bulgarian Cruiserweight champion. He worked hard jabbed well and was well in control against a much smaller man.

great sportmanship from truscott, good on you mate. i was rooting for simpson and thought he was winning but paul showed that he can get hurt and still fight back and thats a great quality in any fighter. ironically hes very like simpson in that respect. good fight, cant wait for the rematch.
