Lenny Daws v Anthony Yigit this Saturday 11th Feb, no tv coverage! I would have thought it would be on channel 5 but no, failing that Spike but no! Nobody bothered picking up Green Mundine. Roy Jones jr. v Bobby Gunn the following Friday 17th Feb, I know it's a bull crap fight but I still want to watch it, bocksnation better pick it up!

Lenny Daws seems like he might be the most neglected British fighter on his talent level or above.

Why is there so little interest in him?

He's decent and had been in a few good scraps but decent is me being kind. He's no sort of star power at all and unless you know him personally it'll only be us hardcore fans that watch. He had his hands full with DiRocco and he looked like a fish out of water against Burns.

No, you are not being kind, you are being a dick.

fair point

No, it isn't.

I didn't even know Lenny was still fighting..

I intended to go to the Lenny Daws fight last time he fought in Westcroft, it's only a bus from me. Fell on a night where I was busy. Aint going to this one now. Busy again.

Shame it's not on TV. It was a novelty last time, I managed to watch the main event on +1. Weird to hear people discussing the leisure centre I learned to swim in as a kid.

Surprised this fight isn't on channel 5. Thought Mick would of got a tv date as the original date was scheduled for 5.
Such a shame that in a time when we have so many stations broadcasting boxing and one sided blowouts - for far flung inter-continental titles that a good European title fight is ignored.
Same happened when Farrags fight on the continent was ignored last year.

He is a rubbish promoter.

Can't argue with that

Hennessy should at least put a live online feed for free otherwise this is pathetic

Yes.

I was kinda hoping Channel 5 were gonna pick this up last minute but it looks unlikely

Surely Mick will give the coverage rights to W@rren for 50 quid and a sarnie.
Benefits Mick to have his shows on tv...

Sad that the fella's fighting for a better regarded title than the IBO and we won't even be able to watch it!

Why aren't allegedly showing it?

They should! Daws is a decent enough fighter! I'd love to see him on to more! Why do you think allegedly aren't showing it?

Because they are rubbish.

It's because they don't give a shit now until March 1st when the BT deal goes live. They didn't bother with Mundine Green or Vasquez Collazo, now Daws Yigit.
