    So far Boxnation has produced little in the way of new ideas. Behind the ropes (or what ever it was called) was a rip of what Sky has done in the past.

    That said, there's nothing wrong with following tried and tested methods.

    itsa good stab ,and goodto see them trying new things ...would still like to see proper presenters doing more fights as opposed to bunce sweating and slavering his way through a show ...

    Nothing wrong with it! Its just not building up that much excitement due to them both being good guys!

    Wonder where Mitchell will go after he loses this one!

    If they changed the name of the show to..."Big Fight Build up"......would that be a new idea..?

    How is it a ripped off, it's just showing a the build up of the two fighters.... what's wrong with that..?

    Is..."Behind the Ropes"....and rip off of "Big Fight Countdown" that showtime used to use"....?

    Is Eastenders a rip off Coronation Street..?

    :lol:

    Oh of course not mate Katsidis has been a top level fighter.

    I meant the Eastenders hard man act from Kevin. Especially considering how unprofessional he was in his preparation.

    IMO if Kevin's anything less than 100 percent he will get a lot bigger beating than he did against katsitas,burns is looking fantastic in the gym

    That seems fair enough although how can you have a guy No1 who's not holding a title?

    Nothing much to see here folks, just two blokes having a wee chat and some other bloke sticking his oar in every now and then.

    He is the WBA interim champion and since there is no full champ he is seen as WBA champ in my eyes.

    He beat Rios who was number 1.
