[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFu78OlP8LQ[/ame] I found this clip, just before.... And well there's allot of things to look at. I personally think its quite a dramatic video, but the only reason why ive posted it...... Is because of the information put up at the end of the video, about the Heavyweight series tournament. In present time as we speak today, we have the utter shittness of the supersix, which may be similar to this tournament which was held in the 1980's. The winner eventually of this heavyweight Tournament was of course Iron Mike Tyson, look at the quality of fighters in terms of talented involved. People say the Super six is the best thing to happen to boxing in recent times, i totally and utterly disagree with that statement.....i ****ing really do. The winner of the supersix, won't be a world wide household name, and the supersix is not bringing new fans to boxing, it is badly advertise and is hardly getting any coverage in so called sports mad country's like the UK. All i know about the Heavyweight tournament from the 1980's, was that Mike Tyson became the winner, brought boxing back. He was not just a superstar, Icon, he immortalise himself in history for ever. By just looking at the information about the tournament on that video, it looks like that tournament was better constructed... I think the Supersix, has largely been a waste of money.. Boxing needs big events, David Haye by himself with Witty promotion a big mouth and voilence.... Which money cannot buy.. Made a bigger event than the supersixx so far, which was Haye vs The Beast. Which was a **** fight, but sold....... I was abit disappointed in David Haye during that fight anyway, i wanted to see some voilence.
The super 6 is amazing in so many ways, how often do we see good fighers frozen out after a loss?? with the super 6 they are brought straight back into the mix with a top fight, great stuff and only hope it carries on with other weight classes. I agree with you in the sense it has not been pushed nearly enough (in the UK at least) and thats down to the limitations of Froch's promoter - Say what you want about Frank Warren but if Froch was a Warren fighter it would be all over the news papers and live on Sky. I think after this tournament Andre Ward will be big news in the States. As for Haye v Valuev selling that prob did more harm than good for the sport, millions of casual fans getting exited about a fight only for it to be absoloutely shite does the sport no favours.
