Boxcino Tournament on ESPN on Saturdays, Fox copy this
Posted: 01 Mar 2014, 18:43
Been watching Boxcino on ESPN on Saturdays for the last 2 weeks. 2 ongoing Tournaments in 2 divisions spanning 3 and bit months.
8 fighters,elimination format,with 4 x Q/F 6 rounds shown on 1 night.
6 weeks later 4 advance to semifinals,over 8 rounds.
6 weeks later,the final is fought for 10 rounds moving the fighter into a contender position.
I believe this is the best way for Fox to promote boxing here in Australia,and a great way to ensure each division that is lacking any quality matchups to be sorted, and propel prospects into the limelight.
I have been thoroughly impressed and generally excited for each of the 2 shows,as we watch the fighters evolve over the tourney,and watch a boxer progress a couple of levels.
love to see concept evolve,in this part of the world.
Thoughts on divisions that you want to see,with maybe a carrot for the winner
