    Maybe they mean WBF? He could get near Choi.

    and he only won on pts. :patsch

    good effort against arthur.

    average as hell 1st defence for cook.

    can't warren splash out a bit and get in a half decent name for a big O2 show like this one. :bart

    This is a farce.

    No wonder this card is on the same night as DLH vs Pac, the only way to get it to pass as a PPV.

    Foster was beaten by Arthur, who was OUTCLASSED by Cook. If the Foster vs Arthur fight was a dodgy SD then maybe this fight was worthwhile - but in this instance the A > B & B > C so A > C logic applies.

    seems he IS going to fight for a world title after all...cook's wbo title..

    how can he get a world title shot from beating a guy with 7 wins in 86 fights?...and it was a 6 rounder!!

    am i missing something here??..

    I havent been near a boxing gym for ages but I might write to Frank and see if he'll consider me for Foster/Cooks next defence, I'll lose but i'll take the payday!

    This a real poor first defence for Cook. I thought he'd have a easy sort of defence but against a foreign opponent so he could mix with something different then what he's used to but this is crap. They may aswell give Ryan Barrett a shot for Cooks next defence or Fosters first defence.

    Shame they could not find an opponet like Juarez, I guess people are scared of Cook. Pretty sure he would demand a big fight and not some bull**** like a Foster Jr tussle.

    The deal was as follows.......

    DLH was willing to give Khan an undercard slot, in return for Warren agreeing to accept Juarez as the first defence for Cook.

    Obviously that was too much.

    People should spit on Cook for this fight. Or he should refuse to carry the ring in with him.

    To be fair, Cook probably had very little choice on who the opponent was.

    Foster will also be willing to take this fight for £5.73 per hour, so he probably gets a decent payday.

    I recall him talking about unifying with Baloyi - he has another 18 meaningless defences to take care of first :good

    Only if he lasts a few rounds. Can you imagine how negative guys would be if they were paid by the hour?!

    I think Audley is paid by the hour...

    I think Audley must be paid on a sliding scale according to the number of punches he throws - however the £££ goes backwards.

    He starts with £100k, and loses £250 for each punch he throws - and an additional £500 lump sum if any of those punches are deemed to be part of a combo. (Per combo)

    -£5k per knockdown
    -£10k for a KO win
