    I felt Pacman had other gears to go into, he did enough to win and win quite easily. If Bradley had been better I felt he could have upped his game.
    I think Pac Man's problem was that his conditioning was such that he only could fight at full speed for the last minute of most rounds and then in the last few 4-5 rounds he just dropped off the pace.

    I didn't get the impression that he had other gears to go into because by the 7th or 8th round, the commentators had noted he was breathing heavily through his mouth.

    Shame about the Munroe/Quigg fight ending in a no contest.

    Munroe's face was a bit of a mess though, he got absolutely sliced open!

    Re: Boxing
    Did anyone see the most comical fight between Richard Towers vs Gregory Tony? Honestly, it was the most laughable fight I have seen.

    Just watch the 5th round. The referee literally saved the Englishman's bacon, no doubt about it. The fight should have been stopped when Towers legs were so gone you thought he was doing a crazy dance. The ref didn't allow Tony to resume boxing until Towers basically recovered!

    Then laughably later on the ref ends up pulling up the guys shorts to cover his body protector.

    Just as you thought it couldn't get anymore laughable - the corner for the French guy refuses to pull him out of the fight even though he wants it stopped (this was probably a couple of times). He lasts a further one round and then pulls himself out of the fight with a dodgy elbow and then it goes down as a TKO? The corner did not pull their fighter out!

    I have never seen a fight that had me in such stitches of laughter. If it really wasn't for the ref being so unbelievably inept at his job, it would be funny.

    I am still giggling today at it. Even Johnny Nelson was perplexed!

    If you watch one fight - honestly, take a look at this one.

    No way was Tony's elbow injured though. He's got no heart at all. He took a similar dive against Mike Perez in Prizefighter last year.
    Any half-decent heavyweight destroys Towers.

    Nathan Cleverly should be on the list.

    And why does it matter what city they are from? I never really got that?

    Nathan Cleverly (Cefn Fforest) Your right, missed him.

    I mention the place they are from for nothing else but to point out that the better boxer comes out of the north of England. lol
    A whole new discussion.

    I would have David Price above Fury personally.

    edit - And would wait until the quigg-munroe rematch before choosing the super-bantamweight haha

    I would have David Price ahead of Fury, if we're counting Ola Afolabi as British he should be top at cruiser, Cleverly ahead of Bellew at 175, Macklin ahead of Murray at middle. And Haskins has moved up to bantam so I would have Ashley Sexton in his place at super-fly.

    Aside from that, good list.

    How did Victor Ortiz lose his fight? Did Lopez just catch him with a lucky shot that broke his jaw?

    Definately not Tyson fury, he get's dropped all the time, David price would literally walk through him in my opinion with ease. That's why Fury is trying to avoid him and won't accept the fight.

    Probably an unpopular statement but Chisora would beat him now Imo, he was undertrained and overweight when he lost to him last (fury) plus he's improved vastly over his last 2 fights prior to that. And haye would knock him out also.

    After David Price disposed of Sam Sexton, a lot of people will be thinking, who is next? It is too soon for a Klitschko.

    David Haye and Dereck Chisora at Upton Park on July 14 THIS WILL BE A 'freak show',
