    to do 25mins when the main subject doesnt speak english it was quality.

    the bit where his trainers were moaning about Froch bad mouthing them. Clearly they are rattled by the "no super 6/all fights in canada" tag.

    Glad the reaction has been positive but sadly I can't take any credit. The shows were the work of one of our talented producers, Dave Finch. Shame no one got to see the programmes for Lamont Peterson and Amir Khan - they had just been edited when the news broke...

    I thought Bute was poorly represented. Just my feelings anyway.

    I thought they were excellent to, and a massive improvement on the low budget 24/7 knock off that the Behind the Ropes was originally designed to be. They got rid of all the nonsense and just focused on the fighters' stories and motivations. It was way more effective and looked a lot sharper. It made the fight look like what it is, which is a massive sporting occasion.

    Hello Ed!:hi:

    There are some incredibly knowledgable posters on here, and as long as you can put up with the odd unnecessary insult it's really interesting/fun.

    I've been a fan of boxing for most of my life (about 25 to 30 years) and thought I knew a fair bit, until I came on here!

    If you want a laugh check out the thread on potential posters for the Haye Chisora match, some of them are hilarious.

    Anyway, all the best mate, good to chat to you, and keep up the good work! :happy
