I tell you now this whole show was a fix from start to finish, truman whos fight wasnt shown won hand down without a doubt , the ref scored it in lenny daws favour absolute joke, they should broadcast this fight so the public can see the REAL winner, the uproar from the crowd showed they were all in favour of truman, even daws supporters knew truman had won it, truman is a true talent and we should expect to see alot more from him

Thanks for bringing Boxing back onto terrestrial TV Channel 5, I'm looking forward to watching the likes of Galahad and Eubank Jr come through the ranks. However bit disappointed that Fury-Price isn't happening, that was the biggest British Title Fight to make.

Set up to record and missed Eubank fight had to watch on catch up and missed first round. How commentators missed Eubank not using his right through the whole fight amazing. Great to have boxing on TV but very poor commentators.

Love boxing, the Kid Galahad fight was great, wouldn't have been disappointed if I had paid to see that fight. However, what happened to the Eubank fight - went to make a brew after the Galahad fight, came back and the program had finished?????? Did you not anticipate Kid Galahad going 12 rounds???????

Great to see two great sportsmen, Booth and Galahad fight as true warriors and end the fight with mutual respect and admiration. I don't usually watch boxing but i am glad that I saw this bout. I can only say that I hope both these great gladiators and embassadors for the sport prosper. They show that despite our continuing disillusion with sport (predominantly footballers note last weeks Man Utd handshake debacle), two men can still enter the ring, fight without quarter and still shake hands afterwards.

for some reason channel 5 just dont do boxing well. and who ever that commentator was who was talking about the knockdown being in the temple was so annoying because he didnt have a clue what he was talking about. oh and where the hell was the eubank fight youve been advertising. rather pay for a fight, atleast then i get good coverage

OMG, channel 5 commentators, it was obvious in round one eubank jr wasn't using his right hand, how did you not notice! - I thought it was a PR thing it was that obvious. He would of smashed him with two hands! You mentioned combinations,he never threw any,! Well good show, I was a fan of the amazing Chris eubank, his son will do good.

Could channel 5, whom I too would like to praise for bringing boxing back to the masses, re assess their commentary duo. Dave 'BoY McCauley constantly contradicts himself virtually every round, his monotone opinion spoiling the atmosphere of an exciting headline contest, whilst the anchorman ( yes I said 'anchor') waffled his way through the fight revealing his deep knowledge of er, commentating! After reverting to southpaw in the 2nd, Galahad was always going to win. The honourable Booth was solid but out skilled all the way. Fans aren't stupid and are even capable of understanding what they see, regardless of the 'on a knife edge' scenario portrayed by the commentators. Most televised one on one contests require silence for the competitors,(tennis, darts, snooker for example) so that they can concentrate fully. Is this not the same for viewers? Just stop talking all the way through the rounds, for gods' sake. If you were attending the event and somebody talked in your ear during the every round in the fight you'd be telling them to shut up. Even the privileged eavesdropping on the cornermen was spoiled with inane drivel. Can 5 set a new trend in sport commentary and appreciate the audiences knowledge and let us become absorbed?

I'm looking forward to what should be another night of great action on 5. Thanks yet again for bringing boxing back to primetime terrestrial TV. Manish, Nishioka is the WBC Super Bantamweight champion however the belt Galahad is fighting for is the WBC International title vacated by South Africa's Simpiwe Vetyeka. A win for Galahad could see him just up the world rankings.

the vacant WBC International Super Bantam weight title??? the current holder is Toshiaki Nishioka and has been since 2008, how is it possible it's suddenly become "VACANT"? is this a mistake?
