    One thing to look at on Boxrec with a British journeyman is.....

    1. If he is given a one point win, he probably won every round.
    2. If he's given a draw, he won close but clear.
    3. If he's given a one point loss, he either shaded it or drew.
    4. If he's given a loss by a couple, it was ****ing close.

    Don't let records deceive you.... it's a common topic for discussion at the bar at small hall shows, I went to one a year or so ago and saw three journeymen robbed, in a total of about 8 fights.

    Ah, OK. :thumbsup

    Poor luck, or just always matched tough?

    Disagree with the referee's decision, but can't say I'm too bothered for Seawright. :pukke

    4 fights in a 2 hour show?!?!

    Absolute madness by Sky standards. ;)

    I'm interested to see what this John Ruiz superfight is that's coming on next...

    :good Yeah, despite the Doran-Maxwell outcome and that wretched octopus battle in Hunt-Seawright I'm glad to have tuned in...just sorry to have missed the first half of Rabchenko-Pryce.

    This card really wasn't much talked about, was it?

    Wasn't really well publicised IB. No one knew it was on TV

    A bit of both.

    He took on a huge welterweight called Skeete a few weeks back and was smacked around the ring for four rounds but was brave as hell.

    If he's in against a middling prospect or someone not very good he's always competitive.

    He's not as good as Peter Buckley, who was 32-250+ when he retired.

    He's a poor journeyman, the sort that needs throwing out.

    Eurosport isn't exactly the hallmark of quality either...

    Who promoted this show? It is definitely a bonus to get live small hall shows from Britain on Eurosport, even with the bull**** stoppages.

    I have to say I miss Friday Fight Night. Saturday boxing should only be for the really big cards.

    Rob Waterman. :conf

    Not really a major player (his stable is highlighted by the likes of Roman Greenburg and Mike Banbula) - but he's also a founder/owner of SecondsOut.com
