From my memory BBC did not show the whole fight but rather a clip at the end of their programme with the result.

I can't guarantee that just what I remember

Interesting Fact

I was just looking at Vitali Klitschko record. I noticed that when he wom the WBO intercontiental belt in 1998, he fought for it after Pele Reid vactated it to fight for the Commonwealth belt.

Could you imagine the massacre that would have been!!!!

At least with the IBO, you have to be in the top 35 of their independant rankings (which are completely unbiased and a great reflection of current rankings) to challenge for a title, which in my opinion means the IBO title is far more credible than the WBU title

I just feel sorry for Bennett. It is not a good fight. Cook is going to destroy him. Bennett is weight drained. Thank god Muya wasnt a puncher or Bennett could have been in serious trouble.

I am surprised that Micahel Lomax fights on Ringsdie cards and on BBC cards. Does any one know if he has a promoter/contract or not. Also it is a shame the Bami fight is only 6 rounds.

In my opinion after the top 4 bodies the IBO is the best "second tier belt" Lets looks at the evidence: 1. The rankings are completely idependent computer rankings which are not biased 2. This is recognised in the fact that their champs aren't number one in their rankings 3. All challenger...

maybe a change of promoter might be whats needed.

Fight Acamady and Hennesey sports are both good up and coming stables with tv exposure, and as already shown, they can get important fights with major governing bodies.

Yep Haye looked excellent tonight. Very focused. That Dowling was no mug either. If Delenay had problems making the weight, it would be good to see Haye in a non title fight with him.

The fact that Froch and Haye are getting BBC backing can only help there cause.

I get the impression his promoters are liking to keep him in the shadows. I remember reading somewhere he has a number of fights in a short time and then goes back to training for a while. He is so young though there is no need to rush him, but a decent test would be good for him by the end of the n...

It would be another great fight surely. But I can not see Frank Warrent letting it happen.

Apparently this fight isnt part of his 3 espn fight deal. So I can pretty much guarntee Audley wont be in with a live opponent. How long does this mean Audley is going to stay in the States for, until every British boxer has retired? Come on Audley surprise us all and lets have a half decent opponent
