    scene it, hopefully its the end of it. i for one am not a fan tbh. i prefer watching a fight were the guy is dominationg, gasses, gets knocked down/out etc etc.

    I didn't watch it on Wednesday, doesn't interest me anymore. I think after the 2nd or 3rd one i just got bored. There's the odd good fight but i'd rather see a normal mid-week bill.

    this one lacked the big names. pretty sure the last one had a few decent guys in it.

    I watched it, in fact i always do on the chance its a good one. And I thought this time around it was a great night of boxing, some sensational Ko's, a thrillers with the two Toms, older proven guys, young guys trying to get some names on their record and a couple guys in the last chance saloon as well as some great of exposure for the obviously talented and even more obviously arrogant Tor Hamer. Really enjoyed this Prizefighter

    I don't mind it as long as its on during the week, its when its on instead of "proper" boxing on a Friday and Saturday that it becomes an issue for me.

    Standard of boxing is usually poor and for the amount of bouts theres been over the course of the 20 or so ones they've done theres only been about 2 or 3 decent fights imo

    Like the man said, if its on in tandem with 'proper' boxing on a Friday/Saturday then fine, if its the main attraction then it starts to get on my tits

    Not that much of a flop it seems:


    If people want to watch it, and if it brings through people that are then recognizable names to challenge for a British title or whatever, then I think it's good for boxing.

    According to Dan Rafael, it wasn't broadcast in the US. But that's neither here nor there. I never liked the format, it's the least skilled, most amateur mess from the first bell.
