I am pretty desperate to see Tony fight Khabib and it would be a massive loss for the sport if we don't get to see it someday or when one of them has begun to decline.

This was a massive win for Tony, Cowboy's record isn't the best so people may not hold him in high regard but this was a really determined Cowboy who was genuinely seeking the belt, not the same Cowboy who turned up against Darren Till without even knowing who he was fighting.

Round 1 could have gone either way but I too gave it to Tony, then round 2 was all Tony! He was lighting Cowboy up and seemed to have some kind of laser guided target system set on Cowboy's nose because he was hitting it dead on every time he went for it.

In one sense it was a shame to see it end the way it did, but it was really a blessing for Cowboy who would have only taken some unnecessary punishment in the third round. Tony showed no signs of slowing down or gassing, he can go all night.
