Stephen Simmons

[lord bunberry]

Did anyone watch him winning tonight, I though he looked pretty good. He works as a doorman at why not on george street, it would be great to see an edinburgh boxer go on and win a title again.
Ricky burns is up later, looking forward to that one

Didn't see the fight but Stephen is a good guy, he's got massive potential if he starts to relax into his fights a bit more.

Looking forward to John Simpsons fight, rarely in a bad bout and has jad some horrendous luck in the past. Burn is in for a tough night as well.

Simmons looked really good, I thought he was very professional he didn't just wade in when it was obvious he was the better fighter, he was controlled. I agree about the Simpson fight should beautiful right tare up

Good to hear that as he works so hard and deserves to do well.

[Pretty Boy]

Was right.

Great fight. Reckon Simoson just sneaked it.

Cracking fight, I thought it was much closer than the judges had it

[Pretty Boy]

This guy Gonzalez looks like a very, very good fighter.

Big performance needed from Burns here.

Definitely, needs to close the gap and take a few punches to land some on this guy

[Pretty Boy]

Already looking like Burns needs a KO. Very unlikely he can outbox this guy to make up the rounds he's already lost.

[Mon Dieu4]

Looks like only one man will get a knock out so far

[Pretty Boy]

Burns looked done there against the ropes but landed a huge counter right and left hook.

Gonzalez hurt him more though, a man with a lesser chin would have gone there.

Great round of boxing.

[Mon Dieu4]

Ooft that's what i want, total war, more of that please, can't believe burns stayed up

[Pretty Boy]

Suddenly Gonzalez doesn't look like he fancies it. Think he's shocked Burns is still there.

Ricky really needs to pile the pressure on.

[Pretty Boy]

Gonzalez legs look gone now.

Burns wins the rounds from now on he could just about snatch a draw.

[Mon Dieu4]

Looks like fitness and the will to win made the difference

[Pretty Boy]

Gonzalez refuses to come out for the 10th.

Burns will to win dragged him through that.

Lot of work to do if he wants to fight Vasquez or Broner.

[Mon Dieu4]

Couple of good fights on tonight, i really enjoyed that

[Pretty Boy]

Jamie McDonell winning the IBF bantamweight title as well. Crazy scoring in that won 114-114, 118-110 and 115-113!

Good night for British boxing.

Do you think gonzalez was really injured or just didn't have the legs to carry on. I found it strange that a boxer would call it a day so easily when he was ahead in the fight

It's hard to say.

Personally I think the fact Burns survived the bombs he threw in tue 7th round broke his spirit. He's used to guys going down or wantingbout after that, Burns almost seemed to enjoy it.

Even if he was genuinely injured he was just about far enough ahead he could have jabbed and ran away for 3 more rounds. Danny Williams won a British title fighting with a dislocated shoulder for 5 rounds, Ali fought a world title fight with a broken jaw, Haye beat Valuev witj a broken hand, even Audley Harrison won a European title with a partially dislocated shoulder.

I went through to the Emirates arena, the first boxing event I have ever attended! A thoroughly enjoyable night, not least from laughing a the behaviour of some of the locals. I thought the scoring on a couple of fights was debatable though. Decent atmosphere and a great reception for Burns.
