    Just returning from the farce/fight, putting the fight aside,y did sky hype Lewis but no introduction for the other big names around the ring such as Benn, Hatton and of course Frank Bruno. Being that sky kept on refering to Cardiff in 1993 Frank should of been announced, Lennox showed some class when he waved Frank into the ring, pity Sky couldnt of shown some better clips of their fight as they just shown bits of Lennox on top, that was a real war, Frank put Lennox under a lot of pressure and trouble.

    I went to both of these fights but sadly this latest battle of Britain was a very poor imitation

    I think Sky had paid to bring Lennox over, so just getting their monies' worth.

    Yeah must admit i was thinking why not Frank...then Lennox like a true champ look to have called Frank up to share the stage. Enjoyed that more then the 'fight''!!

    Frank Bruno came out with the best line of the night: "...not literally, because I'm not gay" :yep

    It was a great moment with Lennox and Bruno in the ring though.

    That was a class act by Lennox, shame really as it sort of spoiled the moment by not giving Frank a call

    :lol: soon as they put a mic near Bruno you knew he was going to come out with something funny. His laugh always makes me laugh.

    Franks gay line was a corker, they hit the nail on teh head summing up where they said Lennox and Frank could of give us a better fight both in their suits!
