    During and after the fight between wood and wale the commentary said the winner gets a shot at ryan walsh. Incorrect yes it was a eliminator but it was not a final eliminator which gains u the mandatory position. The board hav made a final eliminator between tennsyon and traynor. U wud think the wud have done the research b4 the fight.

    They have probably been told to use the angel of the eliminator to make the fight make sense to the casual fans, we know that an eliminator doesn't guarantee a shot at the British but the casual fan doesn't and maybe wouldn't understand the point if you then had to face a final eliminator.

    Yeah and for the eubank fight when the announcer was announcing the fighters he failed to mention eubanks 1 defeat. Yet he mentioned jeters

    Also did anyone notice just before Eubanks fight began, Halling was saying how silly the WBA are with their multiple champs system. Yet he never calls Quigg a 'regular' champ.

    Very good point. The WBA are a joke at this stage- essentially just after sanctioning fees.

    :lol: great point.

    Nick Halling is a clown, he is winging the job, fight by fight he must sit there and tick off little phrases somebody who knows very little about boxing has written down for him.

    Quite a few people have said Halling was superb on the NFL so he is talented but boxing is not the sport for him.
