Live Boxing on scheduled Eurosport at 9pm on Friday 30th October. Anybody know what that is?

Its a bill in Wales, Newport I think.

Craig Kennedy and Barrie Jones are the billtoppers

It is called past present and future -

Jamie Arthur is making a comeback Craig Kennedy is headlining along with a Welsh title fight and Andrew Selby is having his debut fight so a great card.

Good old Newport Centre.

FFS, just realised I have plans that night, would have considered getting tickets if not.

Not sure Barrie Jones is fighting mind ha ha ha

Interestingly theres a pro show involving Mark Evans from Holyhead in the seaside town of Llandudno, North Wales in November. Mark co-promoting with VIP i understand.

Nice to see small hall pro shows springing up to fight back at the numerous "unlicensed" shows currently beingput on. Some of these semi-pro contests are great, some nothing short of ridiculous. See below for comedy value example...

Feel free to post a barnburner in reply, like i say some are good fights, but that above... Oh dear

Tempted to go to the Newport bill.

Welsh boxing is in good shape at the moment. Great to see North Wales getting involved.

Do people really pay to watch that rubbish? At the end the commentator said "Really good fight that". I dread to think what else he's been watching.

Fighting James Lilley for Welsh 11st title.

I though you meant Barrie Jones the commentator

Enjoyed the only other small hall Welsh show I've seen on Eurosport - they're a good little addition to the TV circuit. Will definitely watch it if I'm not out.

think he's spelt Barry.

I like a more of a low key small hall show to watch on a Friday don't get them very often anymore and then we get two on the same day!

This and the allegedly show on from Harrow

I wonder if that lad had ever been in a proper spar? I'm not going to dig him out, it's the people who put him on the card and the trainer who thought he was ready.

That ring card girl was a sort though, I'd certainly go to Wales to Bangor.

Yeah, I'm like that too.

Watch young up and comers fighting, rather than Hearn wankery.

I really wish Eurosport would bring back its Knockout Classics on a Friday evening. I used to love watching (often obscure) fights from the 1980s-2000s, knowing one of the boxers were going to get KO'd but not knowing who, cigarette in hand pretending I was at the fight myself. Fantastic fun.

I'm busy this Friday.

Shame. I don't have Allegedly or Sky, so this'd be a rare chance to watch boxing in my own home.

Looks like this is the only live boxing on in the UK this weekend after all now with allegedly scrapping the Harrow show

Friday night, 2 hour slot from a Leisure Centre...be like going back a few years

Only downside with Eurosport is the commentary is normally dreadful!

Please say Steve Holdsworth still does it!?

Not to bad now. Barry Jones did the last one.

Agree! It's grim!

Fair point. Could listen to Richie talk boxing all day.
