    Interesting...more "boxing" on TV. It is boxing but I don't know what kind of level it is.

    For anyone that doesn't know, the QBL is the brainchild of Ross Minter and is like a hybrid of amateur/pro/unlicensed boxing but designed to be safer than unlicensed and regulated. Fighters are assessed, get medicals and are matched to their level of skill, experience.
    Sounds like white-collar to me...is this the right thing to be showing on TV as "boxing"? What kind of standard is it?

    At the end of the month, the best of the action from their show from the 17th of September will be shown on PS

    Id agree with that, from few ive seen there seems to be not many punches thrown and alot of movement around the ring, not much action.
