Poorest fights to watch that happened on British soil

[dirk2686]

Another rotter: Tyson Fury v Kevin Johnson. Former wasn't remotely bothered about trying to press the action. Latter purely there to survive. Response: yawns interspersed with a few boos.

[milpool]

David Haye v Ismail Abdoul

[dookus]

Harrison Williams I
Harrison Haye (till the KO)
Harrison Francis

Gotta say Williams is coming up in a few of these, considering he was also in some thrillers...

[IRLangmaid25]

For me
Billy Joe Saunders and Willie Monroe Jnr wasn't much to write home about.
David Haye v Audley Harrison

Are the first two that jumped out.

[Tuan_Jim]

Danny Williams vs Audley the worst in living memory,
Danny Williams vs Skelton 2 another stinker, Skelton in safety first mode after a lasy round scare in the 1st fight, while Danny was too obese to move.

Williams/Skelton 1 however was a fun brawl, and Williams/Keith Long was a thrilling melee! Williams also had an exciting tussle with Harry Senior.

BJ Saunders last few fights have been horrible.

Fury v Chisora 2

[Stuarty]

Freddie Flintoff! A part of my soul died that night

[Stuarty]

Calzaghe Bika.

[orbtastic]

I can't find the fight report but I seem to recall it was a 10 round borefest at the York Hall.

Akinwande/Nelson. Even the pre-fight write-up makes it sound boring:

[Tuan_Jim]

Johnny Nelson, in addition to the above mentioned Akinwande bout, sprinted for 12 excruciating rds vs Carlos Deleon and James Warring - in the 90s, these two were widely considered to be the worst things ever to happen on earth.

Terrance Cauthen / John O Donnell was very close to putting me to sleep

[deadpan]

Paul Jones-Jason Matthews

[Gnome]

THat Cornish v Sexton fight is up there. Just the level of the two was embarrassing.

Ah c'mon. It wasn't a classic but it was entertaining enough.

[maley1984]

Rob Norton v David Dolan
Also as earlier broadhurst v Haskins

[TheLeprechaun]

Harrison Williams I
Harrison Haye (till the KO)
Harrison Francis

I'm not sure but I think Harrison WIlliams 1 was on the same night as a Bernard Dunne fight. I was in an Irish bar and managed to convince a couple of lads to put on the Harrison Williams fight instead of the Dunne fight. I remember one of them saying, "This is the worst boxing match I've ever watched" midway through the fight. I think it was Harrison Williams 1. Definitely a Harrison fight though.

[littlepug]

wasn't Pat Barret v Manning Galloway a bit of a stinker ?

agree, ended up being quite entertained by their battle, Cornish gained some respect (off me at least) with that showing

I missed that. Did Sexton deserve his win?

[Mimmy]

The poorest fight ive seen and it wont be beat by a long shot was Johnny Nelson v Carlos DeLeon. I'm not even sure if any punches were thrown over the 12 rounds. Boy it was a stinker.

I thought so, Cornish dug in though and kept his composure under heavy fire and started firing back which impressed me

will never be beat ! I have it on tape (I know !) and tried rewatching it a few years back but couldn't make it past the 2nd round !

[Andrew]

David Haye v Ismail Abdoul

This

F*cking awful

[littlepug]

Dave Mcauley v Louis Curtis was pretty dire

[olij999]

Johnny Nelson, in addition to the above mentioned Akinwande bout, sprinted for 12 excruciating rds vs Carlos Deleon and James Warring - in the 90s, these two were widely considered to be the worst things ever to happen on earth.

With apologies for pedantry, think the Warring fight was in the US, so not counted for this thread.

[Deserter]

Robin Reid V Sugarboy Malinga was extremely poor.

You beat me to it! That was diabolically bad.
