Who will win this Domestic battle and why? Should one side throw in the towel ? Why should the fans bear the brunt and who is really to blame ? Your views,please ?

Warren is to blame. He cant take the slightest bit of critiscism.

He wants it all his own way, yet if you look at his column in that rag, the news of the world, he is anything but unbiased.

Its about time someone stood up to him, so I salute Claude Abrams.

Anyway, IMO, Barry Hearn puts on better shows.

There seems to be something brewing involving SN and Boxing Monthly. I do agree with FW in this case. There was nothing wrong with Lawrence Murphy taking on Wayne Elcock. Both a relative novices, it was a good match up.

Did you see Glyn Leach's grovelling apology to FW in the BM editorial?

Yes, thats what I'm reffering too. I believe, only using my opinion here, that it was a misunderstanding. I think BM were refering that Murphy wasn't experienced enough to challenge for a world title. FW took that as Murphy wasn't expienced enough to challenge Elcock.

Slight difference there.

If my memory serves me correctly, both Murphy and Elcock had boxed only 11 times each going into the fight, so BM were wrong there. But Glyn Leach has still bottled it in my opinion. And his apology makes you want to throw up.
Sometimes you have to show people you're not afraid of them.

I think he was reffering to the fact that Murphy was still boxing six rounders when given his shot against Elcock. I know what you mean about the apology though, he must be FW bitch or something. :)
