Hearns latest blog - Lee/Booth ducking Barker?

The Brits should get their own fights on, IMO.

They NEED to happen!

 

I've watched many Frank ****** post fight interviews where he was heavily critical of his fighters performance. You only have to think back to some of Ami Khans fights on ITV.
People are starting to have this cartoon caricature of ****** and that is unfair.

 

Have you read his S*n articles?

On Nathan Cleverly's fight with Hawk: "Even the notoriously Brit-sceptic US media were won over by the unbeaten Welshman’s fitness, industry, skills and clinical finishing." :nut

On Frankie Gavin: "He has the innate instincts and capacity to improvise that you simply can't teach from a coaching manual and, at full throttle, his speed and skill set are simply breathtaking." :huh

On James DeGale when he was an FW fighter: "Has more talent at this point in his career than any other British fighter I've seen." :yep

On Dereck Chisora and the fracas he caused in Germany: "Ashley Giles (BBBofC chairman) should take most of the blame. Chisora is being tried for the same misconduct twice. It is a ridiculous state of affairs." :-(

Don't tell me he doesn't hype up and defend his fighters whilst shitting on everybody else to a ridiculous extent.

 

Decent from Eddie. I can't argue with anything he says really.

Thinking of starting a Promoters Rankings Thread. Domestic/Europe and a World Wide one as well.

Just thinking of how to organise it. Whether to have a select comittee or take votes per month or every 2 months.

I mean so far TR have put on two of the best fights of many a year and we're only in April. Just got me thinking when Arum send a few verbal grenades the way of GBP and Haymon.

 

Sitton, do it, great idea.

 

:good Thanks Richard. Any ideas let me know lads. Been thinking of it for the last week. Will fire it up tonight or tomorrow.

 

You could do a kind of points based system maybe, treble points if a house fighter loses or summit like that.

 

I think (please add anything you think):

-Rate the card's main event.
-Undercard (Match Making)
-Production of the show

Rate each out of 5 then tally it up.

Still thinking of how to put it together as you can see.

 

:good Interesting. Will bear that in mind.

So we're looking at Promoters Shows. How there stables perform and there Media action. Can rate that per month i suppose.

 

Points take the bias out of it which would mightly important when it comes to you know who.

A criteria has to be how quickly tba dissapears off a fight card, nothing worse than a few days before a fight and seeing aload of tbas.
