Nevin of Ireland versus Campbell of Hull in the batamweight final then.

First ever Britain/Ireland final, apparently.

Campbell's tall for a bantam; needs to use his jab to take full advantage. The little Mick looks to have the quicker handspeed.

Such a farce that a knockdown is only a point. Would be so counterintuitive that a bloke leading going into the last round knocks his oppo over and loses.

Yeah, fair decision, IMHO.

Already got his nickname all sorted out for the pro career: "Cool Hand" Luke Campbell.

Been a really good tear up between the Cuban and the Ukranian in the light-welter final.

The smarter work from the Cuban, but Berinchyk was a machine; fought the whole bout on the front foot.

Yea I've mentioned that before, it should be worth more like 3 or 5 points. Generally if you clearly win a round you win it by that sort of margin and that's the sort of effect it should have.

Knockdowns should be worth at least 3 points, but they need to be genuine knockdowns. Some of the refereeing has been odd for me

Fred Evans having his arse handed to him in the welter final. 10-5 behind going into the last.

Have a ****ing go, son!!!

Counted 15 seconds there without throwing a single punch and he's 5 points down. ****wit. Just **** off if you aren't going to even try to win.

Baffled by how the Italian won that round by 2 points. But still another guy who isn't throwing enough punches.
