BoxRec

Lads, need a bit of help.

Can we compile a list of professional fights that have been shown on the BBC (whether live or re-run - but specify which, if you remember) over the last few years?

Since 2000, if you like, though I'm more interested in the last few years. I can't really remember exactly when they sacked it off.

Dates would help, if you can be arsed.

Ricky Hatton v Floyd Mayweather BBC2 Sunday December 2008

Joe Calzaghe v Mikkel Kessler BBC1 Saturday 2008

Worth a mention is Woods-Hoye 4th March '05 and Haye Kelly on the same card (and programme.) Last live pro show BBC have done to date as far as I know

Gatti v Ward 2 and 3
De La Hoya v Vargas
Jones v Tarver 2
Walker v Karmazin
Haye v Thompson
Barrera v Pacquiao 1?

I thought this. Anyone else agree?

Thanks for responses, by the way.

Ottke-Reid was I think

Audleys first 15 or so

Lewis Rahman 1 was live on the BBC (Spring 01?)

Some more:

Damaen Kelly v Irene Pacheco - 27-09-03 (shown, I think, 28-09-03)

Joe Mesi v DaVarryl Williamson - 26-09-03 (shown, I think, 28-09-03)

Juan Carlos Gomez v Sinan Samil Sam - 26-09-03 (shown, I think, 28-09-03)

Robin Reid Vs some hungarian or other was on a saturday afternoon, sure robin won by 4th or 5th rd KO

Witter-Battaglia and Froch-Woolnough were on the Beeb. June 2004, I think. Seem to recall Buncey raving about Witter's performance, and having a pop at Hatton.

Robin Reid V Julio Cesar Vazquez was on one Saturday afternoon if i recall?

Clinton Woods vs Yawe Davis (or something like that) eliminator for WBC title I believe.

Long vs Holden.

Audley Harrison's first dozen fights or so.

David Walker vs Jimmy Vincent

Most Hennessy shows in between summer 02 and summer 04 were shown. These included Eastman and Froch fights.

Williams/Sprott 2

Guinn/Grant (Awesome knockout)

Lee Blundell Ryan Rhodes March 2002

I think this was the BBC's return. Froch and Thirlwall made their debuts. Think Clinton Woods also fought on this show.

The 3 fights I remember most this decade on the BBC were:-
Haye-Thompson
Hopkins-Eastman
Haye-Mock

Nicky Cook vs Gary Thornhill.

Michael Brodie vs Drew Docherty (I'm certain it was this fight - definately one earlyish Brodie fight - in which he looked might impressive).

Danny Williams v Keith Long, Bob Mirovic (re-runs)
