    A few hiccups with the broadcast but minor teething problems really. First time I have watched Superbox on a Thursday night, it will get better with time and even bouts. Loved the girls, Erin was awesome and Parr was a great contender for the show.

    As for Hoppa and Bob :verysad the only positive of a long drawn out fight was the respect shown at the end, well done.

    Big Bob was absolutely robbed on the Green vs Beyer 2 undercard against Timo Hoffman - even the German crowd booed at the UD result to Hoffman :-(

    Big Bob fought Valuev on the undercard of the first Green vs Beyer fight and did okay but Valuev was just too big for him.

    The girls were awesome - compare the skills and fitness they displayed to the headline fight :-(

    I thought both Parr and McGowan handled themselves really well. Parr's a pretty thing, kind of a shame to see her fighting tough in a ring, very unladylike :lol:

    McGowan and Suzie Ramandan both have outstanding techniques, and as you say the girls seem to be in top shape and take pride in their fitness levels.

    I didn't...what nationality is his wife? Maori, or Islander of some sort? I was hoping they'd interview her after the fight to get a handle on where she came from but they only spoke to Erin.

    JWP's a good bloke, real nice guy.

    Ben Edwards will stop Hoppa again of that I have no doubt.

    Ben threw more punches in his 1 minute than both fighters did in rounds 5-10. Poor Bob, his old legs and non-existant jab, constant complaining, coping that looping right to the ribs about 40 times - Both men were gassed by round 4. it was an ugly fight to watch. I didn't realise that title fights could only be 10 rounds either?

    Ged O'Mahony was very slick, showed good reflexes and was in fine shape, dancing around with his hands down is a habit Paul B should beat out of him.

    The girls were entertaining indeed.
