Vann was just doing his job, Kebede was clearly way below championship standard. The blame has to lie at the door of the WBO.

yes 59 seconds of the 1st.

What an embarassment, Sports Network out do themselves.
The red faced Maloney deserved all those empty seats. To think he was calling out the fans all week, only to reward them with a 90 second farce.

errr, Vann did nothing wrong.

complete joke of a fight. Kebede has the worst punch resistace I've seen.

The scottish fans were booing the fight heavily, as they should. that was good to see. I saw a woman in the crowd saying "What the fornicate was that?" straight after the fight. SN knew this was a mismatch. they knew they were screwing the fans for money and it was also nice to hear that the fans were shouting expletives at mcGuigan and Nelson. maybe this is the start of them not going to any more mismatches?

And why the fornicate should we feel sorry for Harrison???? he fornicating knwew it was a mismatch. joke.

Frank Maloney : "We've got to get this so-called Tartan Army to come out and get behind him."

Neil R : "Its time we got the so-called big time promoters to come out and put on decent, realistic fights"

Aint half as much of a farce as some the shit we've had to watch in your neck of the woods the last couple of years. WBO might be a less attractive belt but at least he has the balls to fight for it instead of withdrawing from numerous mandatorys or fighting for shite like WBU.

Lets not get into an England vs Scotland thing here! shite is shite where ever it is and theres little to choose between the WBO and WBU... theyre both shite tinpot titles!!!. Lets see if Scott lives up to his word and goes for Chi....... talk is cheap!.

What an awful week for Scotland. First Vogts is told that he'll be keeping his job, then you all have to suffer Maloney's trip north of the border, and finally the week is capped off by a fight that didn't even last a full minute.

The whole thing just left a bad taste in my mouth. Decent, honest people shelled out their cash to cheer Scott on, and were rewarded with a farce. No wonder they were booing, i'd have been screaming bloody murder. Tonight's action is not the type of thing that encourages fans to come to fights. Sadly, it's another damaging night for British boxing.

Not sure that Vann could be critised for his part. He did the only thing he could do. I reckon he could have stopped it even earlier than he did, because the bloke never recovered from the first punch.

Please note: The first paragraph started as sarcasm, but the more i thought about it, the more i realised that it should be taken seriously.

Agree with you about the stoppage, the guy was fcuked-didnt know if he needed a shite or a haircut.

Wouldve been better to have Vogts in there with Harrison, now that would be money well spent

I've actually got a lot of admiration for how the Scottish fans voiced their discontent.... boxing fans the country over deserve better than the dross we are continually being fed by the likes of Maloney and Warren!... its time fans voted with their feet and stayed away from the fights... thats the only way to force decent competitive fights!.

MightyWarrior · Post by **MightyWarrior** » 29 Oct 2004, 18:55

Yeah good that Adam Smith & co voiced their disgust, about time, but they could'nt really dress it up as anything else.
Smith is pretty clueless if he thought the guy took a dive - it was clear to all he just couldn't hold a punch.
A real patsy. His corner looked like they were attending a funeral, and that was even before the first bell.

In my opinion Maloney et al are as much to blame as the WBO for this crap, and the scottish fans have already started voting with there feet. Harrison used to sell out the Braehead but the numbers have been going down with each passing fight.

I wonder how much Kebedes lack of preperation have affected his performance. Since his former promotion/management company that he was contracted to closed earlier this year he has not sparred a single round against a pro boxer and its not like he sparred with alot of them before, probably only Paolo Roberto. Its "funny" that he lost so early since he is extremely fit. He runs to the gym every day (more than 10 kilometers each way)
