    Oh ****.

    What can I moan about now?

    --------------------------------------

    Great news, I hope they extend it further to cover all fights taking place, but not holding out much hope.

    Better than nothing though.

    Great decision. I guess they've left it long enough after Fury-McDermott just to spare Terry O'Connors blushes.

    Good move, who's reckoning this has come from a certain English title match up between a certain Mr Fury and Mr McDermott

    That just adds expense to small cards working on a shoestring. I think just title fights/ eliminators is realistically the best option.

    Yeah I guess a line has to be drawn somewhere.

    Either way, good move. In judged fights I'd say we are pretty fair, but for the odd card here or there it's OK, but in fights scored by the referee there have been some shockers.

    Exactly, non TV small hall shows have a hard enough time making money as it is, would be silly to have 3 judges for a 4x2's really, expense wise.
