    Your a legend Kos...been wanting to see this again for ages now. One of the greatest bit of sportsmanship in British ring imo. Fantastic Duel.

    Can't remember now...is this the fight where Ayers just stops hitting Rigby and then the ref steps in and "stops" it after both fighters have basically packed it up

    Bump!

    Come on, this is arguably the best fight I have put up so far and the thread has had less views than the 22nd Pacquiao vs Clottey thread asking what time the fight is on :verysad

    Thanks for uploading this.

    I love this fight, I'll watch it tomorrow or Monday. I remember there being a bit of controversy about the ending when it first happened but I thought it was great, both boxers knew what was going to happen and just looked at each other as if to say 'enough's enough'. Class.

    Have you any older fights? Stuff from the 50's, 60's and 70's?

    Great fight and one I'd never seen before (or even heard of the fighters tbh). Great display of sportsmanship. Cheers for that!!:good

    What a brilliant fight!!!! And what Ayers did at the end was highly commendable. He could have mullered Rigby cos he was gone but Ayers showed compassion after ten rounds of brutal battle. Magnificent.

    And Kos, thanks for uploading this in such great quality, I watched it in full screen and it was like watching it on media player or something :good

    Is there anyway to queue Youtube vids? I've got the laptop linked to the TV and hate having to get up to start each clip.
