    Quite impressed with Dalton Smith there.

    I've been hearing good things about him and I know he was a very good amateur. He looks very sharp and accurate. Lovely variety of punch and seems to have a very good sense of distance. I'll be keeping an eye on him.

    Sky were very much underplaying his work in the last round. Looks like he could take Barrett out here.

    The commentator has it level? I won't be asking him to put up any shelves for me, that's for sure.

    Yeah that's the worry for me. Could be another Ritson v Vasquez. Three British judges..

    I put on the fight a while ago and was wondering was it the same guy, Cant believe he is still going but now realise how young he was then. That was a really disappointing night by the way. I still remember it !

    I don't follow boxing closely so I didn't know.

    Naw, that's not Adam Smith. I'm not sure who it is.

    Are the presenters preparing us for a draw result? Surely Kiko has this by a country mile.

    Zero argument for Barrett winning that. Cards will be interesting.

    That is just disgusting. Absolute cheating.

    Even Canelo would have got a split decision in that fight ffs.

    It's almost like professional wrestling at this stage. The result is pre-determined.

    Absolute disgrace. The UK is by far the worst place to come as an away fighter and get a result.

    And who paid them to give those scorecards Eddie? He really must think that we are all idiots.

    Pathetic scoring at least Eddie is telling the truth about it. I thought Barrett won the last 4 convincingly but I’m struggling to see what else he won before that. Don King line there let’s do it again. Even Barrett is embarrassed by that
