Carl Frampton can take a punch but must pick his route to the top carefully.
Promising
Lee Selby outpointed Martin Lindsay to retain his British and Commonwealth featherweight titles and his trainer, Chris Sanigar, said afterwards that they want to keep the Lonsdale belt before going after the European title.
The Lonsdale belt is fantastic. I never lost my British title in the ring and it's one of my deepest regrets that I wasn't allowed to defend my title and get my Lonsdale belt. Every fighter wants one - it's the crown jewel if you're British.
Selby has got habits he needs to get out of, but I think overall he's a very good fighter. He looks tough and hard and has that languid style.
They're right to go and get that Lonsdale belt because he's only 25. They should make some fights they can win, earn some money and then move up to riskier fights.
Selby has been in the gym with Floyd Mayweather Jr, who he wants to watch a little bit more if he's to tighten up that defence. He's just a kid who's come from nowhere, proved he's gutsy and can punch - but needs to learn a bit more.
There's more tweaking to do before he's let loose with the big guns but I would put money on him fighting for a world title one day.
Comeback
Andy Lee battled past Anthony Fitzgerald on points to bounce back from his stoppage defeat to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr with a victory and it will have been an emotional night for him.
He is targeting the likes of Darren Barker and Martin Murray in a stellar British middleweight division, but he may be a step behind those two at the moment.
He's been through an awful lot and was often on the back foot against a very pedestrian opponent, but you can forgive him for that as it's understandable. Fitzgerald showed great tenacity and came to fight and that's what made the fight.
It wasn't the most inspired from Lee, but after a stoppage defeat and losing his mentor and great friend Emanuel Steward, you can forgive him for not being on fire. I'm sure there were demons and a few memories of Manny every time he sat down on his stool. The two were very close.
It's a great division with the likes of Macklin, Barker, Martin Murray and now Lee. We've seen this kind of thing in the past with great domestic fighters grouped in the middleweight or super middleweight division with Tony Sibson, Kevin Finnegan and Alan Minter, then we had Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn and Michael Watson.
I think the crop are all fractionally short of world level even though Murray has a shot at Sergio Martinez coming up, so I think it would be great to see them fight it out and see who is the best on these islands.
We've got some great fighters there who have fought at world level even though they've failed, and I think they know that the best fights out there for them are with each other.
