BBC Wins 7-5 against SKY in their Match-up

When you consider that the BBC are gonna get even better over the coming years, Sky look like they could be in for a tough fight!


Lets me know if you agree or disagree!

Super Middle - Sky win = Calzaghe, Magee (and now Robin Reid).

Light Middle - Easy Sky Win. Walker and Eastman are Southern Area class. Alexander, Williams, Takaloo, Roberts are European class.

Middle = Draw - Howard Eastman is the only fighter in this devision who is world class, but with Elcock, Lockett, Groenwald etc Sky has the depth of the devision.

The BBC have Robin Reid on their Oct 24th Bill so he's a BBC fighter now!

Well, I agree with you on this one in terms of talent but i was also judging on PUBLIC AWARENESS and on that David Walker is a Household name and the Sky fighters are virtually unknown, so I still say a draw!

Middle = Draw - Howard Eastman is the only fighter in this devision who is world class, but with Elcock, Lockett, Groenwald etc Sky has the depth of the devision.

This is easy BBC win I'm afraid, Eastman is head and shoulder's above any British fighter at moment. So what if sky has more depth, they are all very average fighters like Elcock and lockett!

Fair comments there Nasty, although I was judging it on talent alone, concerning the Lightmiddles. If your looking at public awareness then for obvious reasons the BBC win alot more, but on talent alone (which is how I judge it) Sky win.

I wasn't aware of Robin fighting on the BBC bill, I actually thought he'd signed with Matchroom who work exclusively with Sky.

However, in my opinion Sky still have the Number 1 and Number 2 in the devision (with Starie retired). So they still edge it. But again if your looking at exposure then of course the Beeb close the gap (more people have heard of Froch than Brian Magee I'm afraid.

Again, you make valid comments about Eastman, but what I'm saying is I'm not interested in Eastman's recent opponents. Whilst I'm not saying Lockett, Groenwald, Elcock (at this moment for the later) are any match for Howard, still be more competitive than Eastman vs Dann or Bendall.

Also, if your going side with the company who holds the world class guy over the company who holds 3 or 4 solid domestic fighters, then Sky should win the Heavyweights (Lewis) and also the Supermiddles (Calzaghe).
