    How can any of these guys like Thompson and Renda and any half decent fighter get a following if there fights are shown for two rounds. People won't get any feel for the fighters or get to know them out of the ring because there's no interviews...they really should take a note from Setanta's book. It's not hard to actually show some interest....oh live pga golf's on next....says it all.

    On paper it looked like a decent fight..... in the first contest there were KD's galore.

    Not sure whether it was the main event last time though.

    Sky have really bucked their ideas up in the past six months (since Setanta went bust really) - but a few errors have let them down.

    Haskins vs Broadhurst wasn't enough to carry a show on it's own.... the fight was expected to be half decent but just sucked.

    Then the single time in recent months Maloney put a decent show on, two of the title bouts (from 3 in total) only got brief highlights.

    Their policy of title fights only for main events generally works well, but they ought to have category A, B & C - Rhodes vs Moore was category A, and could carry a show on it's own..... whereas last night couldn't in my opinion.

    Plus they need to show more undercard action - as many people have said before.

    I agree with all of that it would be nice if they could add on an extra half hour so they can throw in a few more minutes of undercard action and also include their little promos and interviews.

    I would also like to see them push for a revitilisation of the commonwealth and push to bring back some quality foreign opposition throughout the commonwealth, the reality is that there aren't enough fighters in each division in the UK to guarentee a great fights all the time involving the British if we saw the best fighters from the commonwealth then we would have many more quality main and co-main events.
