FYI - Yes i am indeed a very bitter boxing fan this afternoon
Nicky Cook was in no state to continue, he'd taken two heavy knockdowns that he'd barely made it up from each time, and looked out of it. The ref made the right call, regardless how long was left, another barrage from Martinez could've damaged him. I was gonna support Cook till I saw him wearin Man Utd gear into the ring

Enzo was actually beaten by a slicker, significantly less experienced fighter. Not necessarily inferior at all. I thought Ola whilst probably behind on the cards just had taken over the rounds. Enzo probably edged the first 2, Ola easily took the 3rd, & 4 & 5 were definitely Enzo's, but from then on it was close & it looked liked Ola was taking over. There was no way it was a suckerpunch, even Jim Watt admitted it was on the cards. I'm delighted for Ola, who's from the same area as me, and is also good friends with my trainer, so kinda feels like a victory for our boxing club

Also its pissin me off that some of the press keep trying to make out he's not British. He was BORN in London (not Nigeria as some keep spouting, just because his parents are from there) and he lived here till he was 21 when he went to the States to be a professional. This is even more blatant than Lennox, the guy is British. End of.

The Khan fight was obviously anti-climactic I agree, although it didn't look like Barrera really had anything, people saying he got some good shots in just before it got stopped are talkin gibberish IMHO. I think it did answer some questions, it at least showed that Khan can take a clean shot off a 35yr old legend (which he caught a couple of), so his chin is quite as disastrous as feared, and hopefully Roach can hone his defence and use his speed how he did last night to make him a top-class fighter. I'd personally like to see him up against David Diaz or maybe Michael Katsidis next, before pushing him towards a world title. In all honesty, I can't see JMM being interested in a fight with Khan, nor Warren or Roach going after it. I think they may push him to fight Romanov for the vacant IBF belt if they go straight for a title, a fight that is winnable I think. But the top guys (excluding JMM) like Casa & Baby Bull are still 2-3 fights away I think
