Good man, knew you would be.

[mickey1975]

Sad.

[Oiky]

Didn't go well for Frankie

[Bigdogsnose]

Sparked in the first!

Did he even get properly hit?

[Bigdogsnose]

Not watching it, just reading a blog. Apparently looked in shit condition (must if been in the full fat coke), get smoked by an uppercut.

I saw it. His tactics were awful and he looked in bad condition. He fell to pieces the second his opponent employed BKB skills.

Great night for the boxers… I know a few lads who’ve done both and they all say it’s a completely different sport. I thought Cox would have suited it, though.

[Controversial]

Cox got stopped

Being ignorant of BKB , what's the approach the fighters use , meaning difference to gloved boxing is it more go for it and not trying to box too much?

Dirty boxing they call it. Holding and hitting. They're very good at it. I only realised tonight that it's legal, I've seen bkb guys in the gym practicing it but thought it was illegal.

Did you ever watch Cain Velasquez in his pomp in UFC? If so, his stand up work (without the kicking) would have been great in BKB.

P.s. I've never seen anybody (IMO) who'd be better in a real fight than Cain at his best. There are great boxers, MMA guys and wrestlers who do/did their sports well including better than Cain did MMA but in a pure scrap I've not seen a man yet I'd back over Cain.

Don't follow it, pretty grim stuff IMO, heard Paulie is doing it too, crazy, he must have made some good dough from boxing

[Glass Joe]

Yeah. Hannah Rankin got knocked into the next century when she had a fight. Same will happen to Paulie

Didn’t he already try it once and lose? He surely can’t be broke, he has the commentary work as well.

Grim generally or grim when it's washed-up boxers involved?

I like it, whether it's in a ring, a barn or wherever providing it's a good match between fit lads. Purest version of the sport IMO.

he had one fight, and i thought he won but got robbed (although it was very close)

I know he’s 38 and not boxed professionally for 7 years but you kind of assume a former fringe world level pro boxer and decorated amateur would be a force in BKB, just goes to show if you are caught flush anyone can be knocked out.

[Riddick Bowie]

Pretty embarrassing results. Any footage?

On both fronts for me.
