    Of course it was a super fight to suggest otherwise is totally idiotic . From the very first announcement of the fight being made to the final bell this was a Super fight . The Internet was absolutely buzzing with the Super fight exposure this super fight was attracting , every fighter passed and present from small time to ATG"s had a prediction and was getting pumped for this Super fight, I drove a total of 300 miles that Saturday morning after leaving Cardiff and picking my uncle up on Merseyside on route to this super fight and I wouldn't do that for anything other than a Super Fight . SUPER Joe won the Super fight in one of the fights of the new century and I was there .

    They did, but it was not live. Which at the time caused fury, as SKY was making an effort showing big bills live. But in this instance they were held to ransom, and thought screw it.

    Obviously there had been more prestigious fights than this before but a Super fight that sticks in my head was when as kids we all got to see the King use Richard Dunn"s head as a human speed ball live on free to air tv around tea time on back in 76 . I remember the build up to this fight being massive , different to when Lloyd beat the Cobra but still massive .

    So far the biggest live fight I've been to was Bute v Froch which was an amazing atmosphere if I'm honest. Couldn't hear myself think. The best show has to be July 16th which featured Murray v Mitchell, Mckenzie v bellew 2, and few others the Mitchell v Murray fight was top notch

    If you think Mitchell/Murray is 'top notch'; you are going to wet yourself when you see a superfight!
