An Australian, in Australia fighting for a "world title" and its not televised?

Did any one see the fight ?

If so could you please tell me what happened? Was Lance winning and got clocked ?

I didn't see the fight. The official results from Vic Control Board shouldn't be far away. I'll be able to get a general idea how the fight went from the scores tally sheet. I believe he was slightly ahead on points going into the last.

Scores @ end of 11 were 108/101, 109/103, 107/102 all for Lance.
He was cut in round 1 due to accidental head clash. Well in control from round 7 - winning every round except one judge favoured Mosquera in round 8.

I guess he & the corner relaxed bit too much knowing they had it stitched up.
I bet they won't be making that mistake again - As the saying goes; It ain't over 'til it's over.

Here's knock-up by my mate Matt Ropis, who last night provided me with basic results after each fight.

That's a good write up by Matt Ropis.

If he can chat as well as he can write, they ought to get him on the telly. Seriously.

And, incidently, that show he is writing about certainly sounds a lot more exciting than most of the live Aussie shows we get on Fox.

Could be because its a a shame title...

We dont get to see half of Vic's fights, and thats for a half decent world title, so what makes you think this fight should be televised?

Take nothing away from Lance, anyone who steps into the ring has a lot of balls and good on him. But should someone with just 10 fights be fighting for a world title?

It sounds to me like this fight was a great case of the fighters making it a real spectacle rather than the title on offer. Quality performances make a champion, not a belt.

Agree, note that I wote "world title" - as we all know it is nothing.
