    Tonight (17/12) - 8-9pm BBC London 94.9 and online.
    A long, long guest list including Ajose Olusegun live from Nigeria! No expense spared.
    However, this is the last live show - the 23rd and 30th will be recorded - of the year, so I was thinking of a highs and lows of 2009 Special.
    It would be good to end the year with a lot of contributions - but, you can't make contact until the show goes live at 8pm: 0207 224 2000 to speak/rant, 07786200949 to text and

    .
    I will read out all the posts from all sites, but it would be good to have plenty of live action.
    Adios and enjoy.

    Highlight of the year: Khan's comeback from the Prescott disaster to beat a very well-schooled titlist in Kotelnik and establish himself on the world stage.

    Low: The tragic deaths of Arguello, Gatti and Forest. Many others have died this year, but the circumstances surrounding those three were absolutely tragic. RIP:-(.

    As a footnote, when will the BBC clue-up and realise that this show should be on TV? I'm listening to Cockney FM in Bristol!

    Craig, Bristol:good.

    Highlights:
    Carl Froch knocking out Jermain Taylor with 12 seconds left to retain his word title.
    Marquez vs Diaz - total war

    lows:

    Some dodgy decisions - Funeka and martinez being on the end of some awful decisions
    loss of all those ATGs and the suicide of Darren Suterland
    The booing that seems to be aimed at all our olympic stars (de Gale, Khan vs barrera)

    highs:
    khan and haye both winning titles.
    mitchell beating prescott.

    lows:
    lack of television coverage in the uk on boxing.
    too many fights cancelled (there were about 6 big ones in a row at one point)
    jim watt scoring fights completly wrong and sky not showing the full card when its ppv i.e. arthur vs wright/enzo vs borat?

    The high was someone other than Ricky Hatton getting boxing talked about again. In fact he even got heavyweight boxing talked about which these days is a near miracle.

    I'm not talking about Audley by the way.

    Highs - the introduction of the super six and lets hope the hype and potential are fulfilled into 2010 .... Frochs two victories ... Khan now winning over the British public and Rendall Munroe on a personal footage working his way to a potential title fight in 2010 plus the potential superstars being unearthed in the UK should be an exciting 2010.

    Lows - the untimely deaths of some great and potentially great superstars of our sport .Damn shame !
