Retired John Barnes. Made Frankie De Milo move to Australia, starched Rocky Dean (who was on a streak till that point) and is now British Champion (after calling out Esham in what would be an outrageous dust up). ABSOLUTE crime the lack of exposure this kid is getting simply because he lives in the seaside town they forgot to knock down.The most under-rated fighter in Britian right now? Possibly....

Agreed, what a great fight him and Pickering would be.

True, The Goods. I'd like to see more of a home-grown talent like him on Sky.
Incidentally, does anyone know why Eurosport screen fights live from France and Italy - and not from Britain?

Probably to do with combination of scheduling and promoters. Having said that, there have definately been one or two shows live UK shows there. Also, from Egypt (Eubank's self-promoted flops were shown live if I recall).

They're a French based company probably has something to do with it.
