STEVE BENDALL
Middleweight Fighter
Bethnal Green Friday 22nd Feb.2008
"I'm not, finished. But I will have to see how I'm going to get another shot. I felt I could have beaten Darren if the fight had not been stopped, but he is a very good lad and I wish him well in the future.
"I still feel that I can make it, but I don't want to stay in the sport if I can't get another shot at a major title."
Steve, appearing live on Sky for the first time in about five years, added: "I slipped over in the first round and they put it down as a knock down.
"I admit I feel that I did give him the first three rounds but I was starting to get into it, I felt that I was becoming stronger in the next fewrounds and I always knew that would be the case.
"But the clash of heads which was unfortunate. Darren also knew it was a clash of heads and so did the ref.
"It was one of those accidents and there is nothing you can do about it now.
"The fight was going exactly the way I thought it would go. I knew he would come out fast but then slow down.
"He is a good lad and full credit to him, but we were just warming up and the strength was coming out of him."
Darren said!! "No disrespect to Steve, but it was a good fight for me. It was like a game of chess and I like that, That's why I like boxing. Good luck to Steve.
