The Bravo Benn Boxing Channel (+1) is just showing Benn v Galvano but it's followed by Steve Robinson's fairytale championship win.

Good chance to get it in your collection if you don't have it.

DOH!!! :evil:

Only managed to catch the last three rounds of Robinson V Davidson. I have not seen that fight since it actually happened and had fogotten how the Welsh fighter nearly won on a stoppage in the final round.

I seem to recall reading that Robinson claimed that halfway through the fight an old calf injury re-surfaced which meant his mobility was restricted and forced him to go toe to toe more.

The scores were very close, anyone know why there was never a rematch?

Did anyone see the Benn/Sanderline Williams clash on Bravo?

On the show also was herbie hide vs some canadian journeyman who the commentator had bigged up as a 'class act' and after the demolition praising herbie, saying 'We may be looking at the greatest British heavyweight of all time' ????!!!!! :o :o and drooling over a 'spectacular' 'World' (WBC international title) defence while Herbie leapt onto the ropes, fake title held aloft, with Norwich going berserk.

Truly vomit inducing.

It does sound like the Herbie Hide V Conroy Nelson fight.

yeah, that was it.

It mystified me how everyone there could possibly be so enthralled by such a routine win for such a shitty 'title'.

i mean obviously it happens all the time in this country, but this was one of the most extreme examples I have seen.

Funniest thing of that fight was Bremmer saying that Hide has shown his chin is sound, not one of his best moments.

Herbie Hide does have a good chin, the man is emotionally fucked though...

He took some truely massive right hands from Bowe and didn't stagger at all, and then fell to weak jabs.
