    Kell Brook easily dispatched Jo Jo Dan at weekend in his 1st world title defense but what is the most impressive 1st world title defense by a British world champ you've seen? :think

    For me, it's Nigel Benn's WBO defense against Iran Barkley. Dropped him 3 times and stopped him in the 1st.

    Yeah, Benn's was something else.

    I remember enjoying Honeyghan's first defence quite a bit. Wonder how the refs would deal with that nowadays. :lol:

    I loved Scott Harrison beating Wayne McCullough, nothing against Wayne but as a big fan of Scotts it was great seeing him beat a guy over 12 rounds a lot easier than Naz and Moralas did, and remember alot of people thought McCullough would win. McCulloughs corner and the ref should have lost their licenses for not stopping fight though.

    Nothing against Said Lawal, but the guy was hardly Iran Barkley!
