Kieran Farrell is being kept in hospital overnight after collapsing in the ring following his English lightweight title defeat to former British champion Anthony Crolla at Manchester's Bowler's Arena; Farrell lost the 10-round fight by unanimous decision. The Heywood-based boxer started brightly and his high work rate worked in his favour in the early going. Crolla, though, landed the better quality punches in a fight that was keenly fought, but swung in the 26-year-old's favour after the fourth round and it stayed that way despite Farrell's all-out attacks.

God! I wish him well and hope for a speedy recovery. Another sobering reminder of how high the stakes are every time a fighter steps through the ropes. -
You know how many times I've heard that nonsense about bleeds? How many times I've personally seen it disproved?Comment

I've always said that the devastating knockout is usually easier to take than a 10 or 12 round pounding to a decision loss. Some guys don't even know they've been down or out, while it's hard to shake a lot of lighter shots and getting roughed up. I hope he gets better soon, but his career should end here.Comment

A reminder to all those who think PEDs or loaded gloves aren't that big of a deal - this is what can happen even when clean fighters box.
Best wishes to the bloke.Comment
