Singing from same sheet ...although how about this for controversial ...Is it such a bad thing to show the women boxing? Granted there were definitely better fights out there but if say 100,000 people tuned in solely because they had seen Angel McKenzie on Big Brother who maybe weren't ardent boxing fans who wouldn't have watched otherwise and thus put that extra number on the overall viewing figures would that not be good for the sport. It might not be good to watch but if it meant we got more good tv shows as a result maybe in the bigger picture it's a good thing?

Just trying to see both sides of the argument here? I doubt I'll get many people to agree!!

Ive actually attended a womans world title fight Mister Kerr! :hey

Ive no problem watching womens boxing but what was on the box last night was definately nowhere near the level required for me not to change channel!

Personally I feel it probably did more damage to womens boxing than it did good!

Says the bloke with 2 fat, sweaty, half naked men in his avatar....

I'm fine with women boxing, but it just feels wrong on a basic level to me when I actually watch it (I accept thats my problem, not theirs).

Cheers for the avatar though, you ****er....:good

I have to disagree with the majority. I was at York Hall and thought the main event was a tremendous fight to watch. One of the best young boxers in Britain and surely a future world title challenger in Cleverly against a really tough, doesn't know when he's beaten top level domestic boxer in Danny McIntosh. Cleverly put on a great show - Danny Mac did his bit too just to live with him for 7 rounds. Not least that HBK esque kick up off the canvas in the third round! Good good fight.
And Thaxton - Glover was a quality, 'too close to call 'contest too.
It wasn't Mick's fault or Tyson's fault for that matter that Selezens came in that out of shape, although to be fair the less said about the women the better!
All in all I thought it was a really decent show.

Andy K

As an aside - Anyone who watched the Kahn fight in the pub later -was that the cleanest KO you ever saw

Maybe I'd just been spoilt buy some crackin fights @the men the night before.Just thought the Cleverly fight was over as a contest from the 1st,or maybe even as early as your interveiw with the girlfreinds.Was actually lookin forward to the fight. The Fury fight was a joke and i wont even mention the other,even Froch had to leave the building.Well done to Glover though.
Met up with Jim Bentley @ the MEN. Not seen him since he was our local boxing reporter about 15 yrs ago.Great to see him,top fella.Hope things work out and your all back workin together soon.:good
