Jason Cook defends his IBO lightweight crown at Bridgend in Wales on February 28. No opponent announced as yet. The show is enhanced by a cracking British featherweight title match-up between Dazzo Williams and former champion Jamie McKeever.

I live less then 5 miles from Bridgend, but you couldn't pay me to go to that one I am afraid.

Is Cook going to bother to train for this? Is he going to check his weight before weighing in (DUH)? Are they going to produce another green haired clown in place of an opponent?

As far as Williams-McKeever?

A good close match, but has the Belt ever been contested by two less talented fighters? I can see thwm whacking each other for 12 already - no thanks!

Seems like all SN's Feb promotions are in Wales - and I aint going to one of them.

Its real fights or no fights for me!

Williams should be facing Roy Rutherford not McKeever.

For a champ to lose in such a close fight, he deserves a rematch.

I'm not sure who is the worst British champion of all time - McKeever or Delaney (who Jon Jo Irwin first gained the title from).

You mean Mike Deveney? The super feather title used to get passed around like confeiti...

Didn't seem em box much but Joey Jacobs and Sugar Gibiliru should be up there.

Scott Welch would get my vote - good record and 'fought' for a world title but watching him box live I couldn't get over his lack of skill....
