Tonights Action *Spoilers*

First topic message reminder :

Joshua just about to knock Legg out, Damien and Chris have both text me saying the atmosphere is rocking   

Another poor stoppage

2-1 Chunky great round

Jesus christ, what is it with Froch vs Groves cards and bad stoppages. That was dreadful.

Oh come on. We never get to see fights anymore. As soon as one breaks out it's over

Why would any foreign fighter want to come to the uk?

That was terrible for two reasons the stoppage but also the fact that degale was not in a neutral corner during the count

Said it before and I'll say it again. De Gale beats groves and froch handily.

sensational performance on the big stage in which was he supposed toughest fight yet.

clearly not. Dominant display.

That was dreadful mate, Steve Grey has had a shocker of a round.

Poopie stoppage again! Legs buckled but degale missed next two' fair play degale; jumped on him when he hasn't in the past: still see major weaknesses in him though which were there against groves.

And because DeGale was wearing black socks and black shoes

The last three shots missed and he stopped it!

I've watched enough boxing to know when somebody is vulnerable to the wide left which suggested he wasn't getting walked down ever.

Great knock down combination by Degale but thought that stoppage was a bit early. Chunky has a habit of pulling back when just on the verge of knocking someone out.

He had his gloves up and was moving away, in control. Stoppage was a bit early. Should have given him a chance.

Paul you on twitter tonight; tweet from v2 to Eddie asking for better officials this is absolutely shocking! Worries me about main event!

Can see why groves asked for non British ref ey!

Hopefully that's the bad stoppage out of the way.

No Damien is doing it. From the V2 Boxing account or 606 one?

That was the best I've seen DeGale (other than the socks)

V2! Given degale had most of that his way look at state of him! Worse than Hatton' jeez!

First ever Degale non-snoozefest. Still comes across as a naughty naughty boy in the interview.

Still best Degale performance since he lost to Groves.

Hopefully thats the end of the dodgy stoppages

God I hate David Haye.

Can't see any tweets on the account mate.

Looks like owen was right. Gonzalez tried to walk degale down, knew he couldnt win at distance....but didnt realise he couldnt win inside either. Great first knock down, stoppage was slightly premature for me (it was coming but still premature). At least I think it was, I was distracted, the mrs andmother in law were serving the takeaway.

English refs need to get some 'time in' in america.

Yeh, It's obligatory to have one, let's hope they booked it in a fight early today

I was speaking for myself, milky - just hoping Mrs Superfly doesn't stop me drinking.

Was the best I've seen Degale look, was sitting down on his punches and the power looked to be back.

Sticking with Froch to win in the 10th-12th round by KO/TKO.

Durability and stamina carries the day.

Only two glasses of wine for me tonight The babys getting christened in the morning....then the real party starts!

I'm at Twickenham for the ba bas tomorrow so only the two for me too.

So, tonights the warm up! Get your priorities right and wet the babies head!   

No live show tonight Owen, due to issues explained earlier

You dont sit down on your punches when your back is on the ropes. You throw what you can... you havent got a clue hammer. Xitting down on shots is what you in center ring with proper foundation. Do you even know what sit down on punches mean. Id rather be emore alias than someone who feigns understanding.

Im not drinking either. Got an exam on Monday and need to revise all day tomorrow in a last minute job

Why, are you playing? If not, you need to harden that liver up for tomorrow!  

Will the fight be starting earlier now? Since Degale is over already.

Went to the England/Barbarian game last year, It's great fun was sat next to some hand aussies.

Great performance from Degale.............Looks World class

Well done Mitchell pulling it out (The fight that is!!)....Stoppage was right his opponent was done...

A world champion in waiting he ain't though !!

You can sit down on your punches in any part of the ring, he wasn't on the ropes when he dropped him.

Agree. It wasn't a great performance by Mitchell though. There are times he looks the real deal. But, he just doesn't have the temperament. A small minded Muppet who thinks selling £10 wraps is more important than preparing for a world title.

You dont know what sitting down your shots means hammer.

Why the hell does froch stand straight on and throw combinations from his waist? Its dumb.

UK boxing. Home of the soft stoppage which favours the home fighter. Its embarrassing to watch. The timing is just god awful. If you are going to stop it then stop it when the guy is on his arse. Not when he is half recovered and his opponent has missed three punches.

Call me bloodthirsty but I want to see knockouts and proper finishes. Not that kind of crap.

Hundred percent behind you cw

Hammer will reply once he's googled 'sit down on your shots'....

Thought Degale was good, did not mess about this time and showed he is not the feather puncher people keep saying, would love to see him against Froch or Groves 2.

Happy for him and a good night to do it.

I can't be bothered rising to your bait fingers.

Google crashed

I was under the impression to sit down on your shots is just a case of having both feet firmly on the ground when you throw a punch, which can be done anywhere you are able to stand... Degale throws from allot of angles and fast combinations so does not always sit down on his shots but does so now and again and clearly had this guy very hurt.

I'd remove that Nick, before Rowley sees it!
