    This could be one of Sprott's greatest victories, besides knocking Audley spark out and beating Skelton in the prizefighter final.

    Think we've found the guy Price will win his Lonsdale belt outright against.

    Urgh.... we'll get there with Price. Eventually.

    Feel pleased for Sprott :)

    Especially when his last loss to Gerber was utter bull****.

    Gerber is a terrible fighter. Put him in the pile with useless ****s like Dimitrenko and Ustinov.

    He's obviously well below the level of those two.

    I'm not sure that's true. Sprott outboxed Dimitrenko, who is the 'best' of the three. Sprott would likely have beaten Ustinov.

    You keep saying that when you clearly didn't even watch the fight.

    Yes, I did. The only reason Dimitrenko won was because of the point deductions against Sprott and the knockdown not being called. Look at the 12th round again. Sprott hurts Dimitrenko, who goes down and because Sprott pushed him off him. A knockdown wasn't called, when it could have been, and instead, Sprott was deducted a point. Sprott was the better boxer and without deductions, he would have deserved a win.

    I'd say "watch the fight again" but you don't need to. Go and watch the look on Dimitrenko's face before the decision was announced. He knew he wasn't the best man in the ring and without dodgy scoring and a helpful referee, he'd have rightly lost the fight.

    If it was a fair referee, Sprott would have won. He is a better fighter than Dimitrenko who, by the way, was 5th in the world when those two fought. And people say that this isn't the worst heavyweight division ever :lol:

    I watched the fight live and to refresh my memory, I watched a couple of rounds before replying to you. I think it's quite obvious I watched the fight but if that's going to be your argument, that's fine.
