I'm just watching Ferguson and Bessey go at it. Clearly, as the fight is over a short distance, they are both going for it.

Potentially, one of these boxers is going to fight again - and then again!

That's nine rounds of much harder than general boxing. You could argue it's about pacing yourself, but when a fight is over three rounds and it's all on the line, how are you going to take your foot of the gas?! You will attempt to win every fight at all costs surely?

I think this is an exciting concept, but I can see someone getting hurt. If someone goes into a second or third fight and is knackered and cannot protect themselves, they could be suspect to a big shot. Particularly as these guys dont seem the fittest.

Surely this breaks Board rules anyway - fighting more than once on a night?

No shit

This is just top draw council estate entertainment. I wouldnt worry too much about any of them suffering severe damage. None of them are overly able to dish it out.

It's an amusing event. Fair play.

...but some of them do have a decent dig. And the effect is multiplied if the recipient is exhausted.....

Sounds like an idea Alan Partridge would come up with, Inner City Sumo anyone?

And what constitutes as top draw entertainment on a posh estate in Sailsbury? A pukka round of golf?

Well, it's c'est la vie isn't it......

Lets see what happens.

Well this tournament has caught the imagination a bit.... a little bit surprised Harrison didn't go for this.

Also:- Isn't it going to be stupid if a fighter wins a semi-final, but is then too injured to fight in the final, meaning the stand in gets the chance?

Firstly, it's stupid for someone to walk into a final like that. Secondly, shouldn't the 'Next Best Runner Up' get the chance?

Mate... don't worry about it. Who really cares? It'll sort itself out. I doubt any true patrons of the sport are going to be deeply concerned over the format of the competition.

It is a bunch of fat blokes punching each other for the amusement of the watching crowd....

I've seen worse on a rugby pitch.

He was flattered somehwat by the level of opposition IMO.

Still, he is in with a good chance in this tournament.

Ryan Rhodes... there is a name from the past. I didn't even know he was still fighing....

Morgan gets the Harry Hill TV Burp I beg your pardon of the week

£25k is not enough to tempt AH.

I fought more than once a night regularly at the SW Divs. On the same night Howard eastman fought three times beating Peter Wilson in his third fight of the night.

As Tom Jones said its not unusual

Audley would struggle against rogan imo.
