Professional Scotland vs England

i think it would defo work its happened in a few domestic fights with scotland v england but would it be fair to the away fighter?

 

Like Latin Fury or whatever it's called.

What was the one with Pinoys vs Mexicans?


But yeah, I like the idea.

:good

 

I was looking at the Kessler-Froch undercard, kinda hoped it might have had a British prospect fighting a Danish one, unfortunately it didn't.

Shame.

:-(

 

You could have the English/Irish/Scottish middleweight tourney - Macklin, Barker, Duddy, Lee and McEwan.

Lee is fighting a weak opponent next in yet another 10 rounder :huh

Duddy is fighting Fraudez jr

Macklin is trying to find a trainer/promoter combo that he's not used yet

Barker will probably be out for a year while Mick finishes his dinner

McEwan has said he wants to fight here in future

Sorted - get it done!

 

As much as I have enjoyed The Super Six I'm not sure if, as a format, it works: For example, the withdrawal of Jermain Taylor and the fact that there are rumours that Mikkel Kessler may pull out should he lose to Carl Froch devalue the tournement.

The period of 18 months - 2 years is also too long in the boxing World.

If we were to have an England vs Scotland "match-up" it should be done on one night like the "Boxing World Cup" between Mexico and The Philippines. We could try and have British Title fights between English and Scottish fighters in around 8 weight divisions and host it in a moderately sized football stadium (QPR in London, Hibs/Hearts in Scotland for example).

It would be a great success and would capture the public's imagination.

 

Something like this would be good notoriously tricky to work out though with the mish mash of promoters and fighters and injuries

I thought the UK vs USA was a good idea that they did as part of the contender series. That could be easily done by one promoter

 

I want to see gypsies vs Cuban escapees.

 

England would win agaisnt any other "home" nation quite comfortably.

 

heres an irish v england one

fly conlan - sexton
bantam - paul hyland - mcdonnell
s bantam dunne - munroe

not in the ams ...ireland would win in that quite comfortably

 

Haye and Mitchell surley??

O'Donnell is english, Lindsay, Duddy, McCloskey, Magee, Rogan are northern Irish.

 

Yeah the Super Six has been a really good idea but it's obvious the format needs altering if they are going to run with it in future.

Maybe domestically the fights could be 8 rounders in the prelim, 10 in the semi and 12 in the final.... at three month intervals subject to cuts/injuries etc - there's a lot of variables to factor in.

Maybe go to a straight knock out format with prelim fights co-featured on the same bill.... :think
