    Will likely go under the radar but I've just watched as good a fight by a British fighter on foreign soil as I think I'm likely to see. Definitely in the top five British away wins of all time. Like Calzaghe vs. Lacy but in Texas not Wales.

    Pretty much punch perfect beating the home town favourite in Texas. Yorkshire lad with a World Title and more folk* get excited by an average Leeds United fan in Josh Warrington.

    * By folk I mean Leeds United fans. But you can understand it considering they've had nothing to cheer for over a decade

    Stunning performance from McDonnell. Seen a lot of people on Twitter saying Kameda should have won, would love to know what they were watching.

    Dan Rafael, Virgil Hunter and Paulie Malignaggi - all so called US experts saying Kameda won. Disapointing really as that was a clear as day win for McDonnell. As you said mate, stunning performance ....... but will struggle to make the papers tomorrow.

    Agreed. I'd like to see him face Quigg at Super Bantamweight, would be a big seller at a stadium and nothing less than he deserves.

    He deserves a huge fight. But you could argue that fighting at Wembley and in Texas and Vegas (was the first Kameda fight in Vegas?) are bigger than what Quigg has experienced.

    If he had power he'd be in the top five Pound for Pound and our best fighter. That will be his downfall when he moves up in weight unfortunately.

    Great performance. Really hope he gets a world title shot now, should've never been stripped a couple of years back

    He should be a three time World Champion really.

    He has the WBA Title, should have won the IBF Title in the first Kameda fight, and shouldn't have been stripped three years or so ago.

    He doesn't have the WBA title. They've got the WBA regular which is basically worthless. Just a way of conning folk into buying tickets for world championship boxing when it's not. The WBA champ is a guy called Payano.

    They do the same with Scott Quigg too, he's not a champ either.

    I agree about the IBF, he should've never been stripped.

    And he should be WBO champ too so would have 2 of the 4 belts. Shame how it's worked out

    Absolutely agree, and Payano is THE WBA champ, however as long as other fighters are claiming to be world champs I'm going to let British fighters claim that too. Not all the organisations choose not to recognise the WBA regular title holder though, so if he'd have fought one of the other champions it could have been a unification fight.
