In fairness that was a white collar event with big gloves on, fighting against another non boxer.

Supposed non-boxer. The Aussie was a lot bigger and rangier than James, and had some amateur experience that James sorely lacked. Judging from the clip he was a mean bastard too, who celebrated rather a lot while Cracknell was still laid out on the canvas.

Agreed. And it highlights what can happen when someone fights an opponent with a tiny bit of experience. Flintoff, a veteran of about 8 weeks now will be in for a rude awakening if his guy has any experience at all.
Saying that in Oklohoma there is no commission at all and is fertile ground for digging up dead bodies!

Have you seen Mickey Rourke's fights? Pretty rubbish stuff which perhaps Flintoff can aspire too. You'd think the match makers should have gone their job and brought in a warm body that Freddy can beat?!

Great action! Pavel Silvin's boxing career seemed to go downhill from there:

Haha really entertaining, however they would never let Flintoff near such a big strong game guy. They would be equally as raw, but this guys conditioning was terrible #roids bad for stamina!

I thought that guy Dawson from last night was horrendous!

Expected nothing from Flintoff to be fair but that Dawson guy apparently had 3 fights already?!

Against what? Department Store Mannequins?!

Just watched it. A proper sparking. Nearly happened to Flintoff last night.

Yup, which says plenty about Bonin...who went on to fight Haye in his very next fight!
