    Jaysus, will you give over. Eggington is one of the best value-for-money fighters you'll ever see. He gives everything he has and is as down-to-earth as you'll ever see and that's all you have to say about him.

    Never said he didn't give value for money did I? He's a British level fighter and it's sad to see a once world class level fighter like Paulie lose like that to a British level fighter.

    If you said "British level fighter" that would be fine. But you didn't.

    You said "someone as **** as Egington", which was pretty pathetic.

    "There's Anthony Joshua.. He's universally loved isnt he".

    I think Sky Sports want me to love Anthony Joshua a bit too much. It's a bit like when you're in the same school as your cousin.... you dont really like him.. but your mother keeps at you to go and play with him.

    AJ just doesn't have the personality of Frank Bruno.

    Some body shot to finish Paulie there. But I fear he will continue like Roy Jones. He's been in with quality down through the years but as said never had the true power to be among those.

    **** was a bit harsh alright, he's decent and is improving, it was just sad to see Paulie lose to him.

    Bad decision to have this fight so far up the card. They should have had Pauli / Sam on now, and the Katie Taylor fight before it.

    Agree they really are trying to big up Taylor and make her the female Joshua the crowd just ain't biting tho.

    I presume because the Italian isn't engaging, like the rugby last week. (Italian team coached by Conor O'Shea)

    Conor's tactics were a cut above this. The Italians were engaging- just not forming rucks

    Not contesting.

    Vicious enough finish. Good decision by the ref, could have probably stepped in before she actually hit the floor.

    Conor O'Shea's Italian Rugby team made world news by 'not contesting' at the breakdown against England on Sunday.

    I assume it's a joke on the part of the Italian as she barely engaged Katie at all.

    Yeah that combo to the head was a show stopper, she did well not to get KO'd clean out.

    In the rugby, the Italians wouldnt engage in the ruck. Connor o Shea, is the Italian coach who told them to do it.

    I don't think so. Her dad is English though, we always claim anyone with an Irish connection!
    She looks great in the ring, are there any other pros around at her level though?

    I have and i dont mean it as a total disrespectful comment but if your a pro athlete you want a bit more effort.

    Yes Taylor is a class above but the girl was a standing target for second half of fight it would be hard not to rain in on punches.

    A double KO would be nice here can't stand either of these two, kinda want Haye to win because him vs Joshua would be a decent fight, if Bellew some how pulls it off we'd get the absolute joke that would be Joshua vs Bellew.

    I've done it too and I wouldn't like to face the shots the Italian faced. The comments were unfair. Katie is a truly WC Boxer
