Last five British world title fights in the states

can anyone remember what they were? Is there an easy way of finding a list of all the British men who have fought for world titles in the states?

 

Depends on what you mean by "world title fights", it seems most international fights these days are for some kind of "world" trinket...

 

Murray/Rios was one I'm pretty sure that was last year though I could be wrong, Macklin/Martinez potentially another depending on how you see Macklin's nationality, Khan/Garcia, Barker/Martinez and aside from that I can only come up with Froch/Ward.

I'm sure there have been others in between those just spring to mind.

 

i dont know the last 5 but i cant think of too many who won or even made it to the end of the fight

 

Yeah, just trying to put some statistics together on British world title fights over there

 

of the top of my head not last 5 but some

Rhodes was stopped by Alverez
Hatton was hammered on points by alverz
Barker and Macklin where both stopped by Martinez
Jennings was stopped by Cotto
Lockett was stopped by Pavlik
Murray stopped by Rios
Witter stopped by Alexander
Hatton won 3 fights(1 by ko) and lost 2 by ko
Danny Williams stopped by Klit
Calzaghe won 2
Cleverly won by stoppage

 

froch 1-1 isnt he

 

2-1 i think

 

You're right

Taylor (w)
Johnson (w)
Ward (l)

 

Yep forgot Johnson

 

I think it may be this line up..

Cleverly vs Hawk
Khan vs Garcia
Macklin vs Martinez (Can take out if you don't feel he's British and change with Murray vs Rios)
Khan vs Peterson
Froch vs Ward

 

Funny thing is they say Europeans (inc our boys) stay away and fight only in Europe yet the list there shows British fighters heading to U.S for fights now show me the list of Americans fighting over here.

The HW's go over to Germany and get beat up for okay pay i suppose but does make me laugh when they claim we like to stay away..

 

Weren't they both in Mexico?

 

The Rhodes fight was FT :good.

 

Cheers, was certain one of them was in Guadalajara.
