Why is it non-title?

It's at a catchweight, I don't think Matty could get down to 12st 7lbs on 2 days notice when he was only due to weigh that next month. Considering the weigh in's tomorrow it's actually only a days notice, he got the call at 12 today while he was at work.

Fair enough.

Gutted this one off,Ajisafe and Clarkson's still a great fight,assuming Matty's reasonably fit

I wonder if that fight will top the bill or Daws will be bumped up

If Clarkson had been on the undercard to begin with then he could be fully fit for this fight.

Hennessy messed up here.

As you say Catchweight guessing it will be 10 rounds for the Trophy, not a bad little fight, Ajisafe should have too much but how deflated or not will he be by
JLD pulling out

Gutted as hoped to win money on Ajisafe.

It's very unfortunate, but it would be shame to let a TV date on Ch 5 pass by. Lenny Daws is going for the EU title, no reason why Ch 5 couldn't show that too.

Ajisafe must start a big favourite, but several posters on here thought the stoppage against Clarkson was controversial so Matty is a natural choice under the circumstance. Clarkson showed some very impressive body punching against Dickinson and if he can get some some success with those it could get interesting.

Agreed. Clarkson deserved another payday after his barnstormer with Travis. It was well worth every penny.

Total bullshit that it's the final. Ah well, at least the tournament started well - gutted for Travis who won one of the fights of the year and doesn't get to reap the reward for it.

Lenny Daws vs Fadli should now be shown as well, this is the fight i'm looking forward to most

Lenny Daws gets a bit of a raw deal TV wise though with channel 5, they usually leave his fights off TV and show Eubank Jnr and the main event (before he left) etc.

Hope they show his fight in full

Well the show starts on Ch5 at 10 and its on for 2 hours so i'll be dissapointed if we dont get the whole Lenny Daws fight

For the record i expect Ajisafe to wear Clarkson down,Bob should have too much class for Matty who no doubt will be brave and probably be on his feet when the fight is (probably) stopped

Ajisafe KO9

Reasonable replacement but it won't be a good fight. Clarkson's and Dickinson's styles gelled well, Clarkson's and Ajisafe's won't. Very easy fight for Bob.

Anyone seen the Hennessy sports facebook page? Lots of hate on there guess none of the dickinson fans got a refund :geek2:

Off what I can gather its Dickinsons fans angry because Bob pulled out with injury & it got delayed when Dickinson pulled out they got a replacement.

Got it on now. Cracking open a cold tinny.

It does seem unfair. Could it be a TV thing? Channel 5 didn't want it cancelled a second time.

I think the MC read more sponsors for the fight than there are people at the fight. D

University of Wales?

I hate fights where you can hear the boxers feet clumping around the ring

Decent fight, Clarkson fighting like he knows he can't go the distance.

Me too. I've even emailed Channel 5 expressing that thought.

Clarkson feeling the pace now, probably only a few rounds left in him.

Well, it's been called of. Get the Lenny Draws fight on.

Richie getting pulled off.

not even that.
