    Defo the best division domestically at the moment with some brilliant fights to be made.

    Another great fight on Saturday in Tommy and Derry. All these fights recently seem to be foty contenders.

    Mitchell - Murray
    Crolla - Derry 1 & 2
    Crolla - Rees
    Derry - Coyle

    Mitchell
    Rees
    Crolla
    Mathews
    Coyle
    Flanagan
    Woodhouse
    John Murray
    Gethin

    Surely some kind of tournament could be set up to sort this lot out, everyone is beating everyone and the rankings are abit all over the place.

    Thoughts......​

    Much more exciting than seeing Burns hide from the champions.

    Wouldn't be a shock to anyone to see Ricky take on a domestic fighter rather than a champion. Got to keep the gravy train going before it derails. :good

    He's definitely too good for the rest at domestic level, however he's not prove at the top level of this division either.

    Given he's a champion he manages to avoid the best incredibly well.

    Eddie is now cotemplating a tournament.

    I've just replied stating we missed out on Schwer,Ayers and Dunne in a tourny and even Smith, Vanzie, Earl, Bennett and co was another stacked LW division lets not miss out Eddie!.

    So many great domestic divisions failed to be captured this could be special.

    Oh dear, resorting to re-writing history. :lol:

    Gonzalez came over and everyone expected Ricky to win. He got schooled and the bloke quit on his stool as he'd gassed himself out.

    How many current belt holders have you fought Billy? None.

    Stop lying to yourself and to everyone else.

    A prizefighter type thingy (obviously better structured somehow) for the lightweights would be the bizness!!!!!
