International Prizefighter

[Old bones Ian]

Yeah i took a while to find it, and i remember that the results didn't show up on the records of the boxers involved.

[alexpaterson]

I would like to see

Lamon Brewster
Tony Thomson
Oliver McCall
Juan Carlos Gomez
Calvin Brock
Sam Peter
Travis Walker
Cory Sanders

I would definelty watch that would be a very good watch over 3 rounds imo

[Spud]

wonder if any of the promoters has considered organising an international veterens prizefighter, at heavyweight (perhaps 35+ years of age or similar, each fight perhaps 4 x 2 min rounds of slugfest, there must be at least 8 international veteren heavyweights who would like to throw 'bombs away' for a few mins for a few quid?

names please?

Rhino - the idea is presently being investigated between 2 promoters (1 UK & 1 USA).

[funso banjo baby]

i suspect this thread is a thinly veiled attempt by Tyson Fury people to draw attention away from OCT 2 with very silly banter ?

Good fighters - Brock cannot fight again though. I'd probably swap him for someone like Oquendo.

I assume you mean South African Golfer Sanders? The other one wouldn't get sanctioned.

[WestEndRiot]

To counteract the problem of needing huge prize money to entice big names, how about getting one of the major sanctioning bodies involved and offering a guaranteed title shot to the winner?

I'm not saying it's fair that some over the hill 40 odd year old could get a World title fight on the back of a couple of 3 rounders, but it would be a way to attract genuine top 10/15 fighters.

i dont think corey sanders would do it isnt he partially blind in 1 eye?

Corey sanders is blind in one eye, but corrie sanders isnt. Corrie is the one that KO'd Wlad etc... and I think thats the one people are suggesting get in there. A few fast, hard Piston like punches from the big man would go down a treat. Think he's looking at going pro in golf at the moment though, so dunno if corrie would be interested.
