Huge upset there Warrington poor from the start.

How the ref didn't call it in the 4th I'll never know!

[the goal was on]

Johnny nelson for once calling it spot on. Disgrace that was allowed to continue.

Warrington was 1/25

Referee should have stepped in earlier alright.

In fairness he fought well enough in the 5th 6th and 7th rounds, up to the left hook in the 4th Warrington was on top.

Kiko Martinez getting shafted in the earlier fight was a great example of how boxing is so crooked in the UK.  Even Eddie Hearn was going apoplectic and it was his fighter that benefited, because he knows it hinders the chances of him bringing big fights to England in the future.

Framptons fight pulled due to a slight hand injury to Frampton. Seems very unlucky with these injuries close to fights.

Was speculation in last few days that Warren had struggled to get a TV deal in US and couldn't finance the fight purse as a result and a postponement was on the cards.

Think that's been 2 so far, there has been others that have been pulled by the other fighters in the past so unlucky or by design it's a lot of wasted training and commitment to a fight lost.

What's been Warrington's thoughts after his defeat? Would that have a baring on things or are they even the same weight?

Disappointing performance from Sean McComb there tonight. Was hoping he could be the next big thing for Irish boxing but not sure he'll get above British or European level on tonight's performance.

Another hype job who stayed in the amateurs too long. Bad form seeing him actually quit, maybe the weight drop affected him but either way it was his call. Looking forward to Clark v Marku tonight then hope to see Kelly beat.

Not sure if we will see too much more of McComb after this. Talented enough fighter but doesn't seem to have the desire for it. He's opening up a gym in Belfast and has a new baby so his head is obviously not in it.

Josh Kelly on now

Kelly stopped! Hype job. He looked good for most of the fight too.

Kelly stopped! Hype job. He looked good for most of the fight too.

Won most of the rounds if not all apart from the last one before he was stopped. Kelly looked good too but you could see Ava's plan to just keep in there until he slowed down. Relentless work that didn't allow Kelly any rest. Mad how quick the tide turned there.

Marku looks brilliant, watched his last fight which was as bad a decision as I have ever saw. Clark looked amazing against Laws too but looked out of his depth tonight, but showed some heart and a good chin to stick in there for as long as he did.

Looks like Billy Joe has finally got his big fight with Canelo.
