he used to be an England cricketer.

About 999 more than the fight then.

God knows who would of paid to watch that fight last night.

Obviously fixed the result as well.

If that's what you call Boxing, get Louie Spence into the ring.

To be fair, it was just a publicity stunt.

Always was just a bit of fun and was never intended to be anything special, if you thought it would have been then you need to watch more boxing. no way was he going to pull up trees, but he did put a smile on my face and I was happy when he won.

I think the result was fixed and the guy he beat got a big payoff...

There's no way that wasnt fixed. In a four round fight where you dont actually hit your opponent and get knocked on your ass but you still win??

Freddie was a disgrace and his opponent wasnt any better.

I defend Boxing as much as I can but that was just awful as a spectacle. This, 'well he gave it a go so fair play' is just a load of bullshit. If it was one of those charity boxing nights then fair enough but this was supposed to be pro boxing and it definitely wasnt that.

[AKCJ]

He said at the end of his documentary that he won't do it again and that he's left professional sport behind him now.

[Guest MattP]

He punches like a 34 year old who's never been in a boxing ring in his life.

I didn't enjoy that at all. There is no way his opponent was as bad as he has just shown. He was fat & slow, but he should have been able to bully Freddie quite easily.

It takes some guts to get in the ring, but that win was paid for. I would have preferred to see Freddie get his arse kicked. Boxing was the loser.

He was.

He's had two fights, one against a fighter who has never seen the end of the first and the other was against Jameel Williams, a fighter who is 0-5 and had barely even took a round off anyone until he fought Richard Dawson.
