    I don't remember much of it to be honest but I think it was pretty scrappy.

    edit: Just found a video of the fight here actually: http://www.hattonboxing.com/tv/tv-p...istol-march-2009/dyah-davis-v-hastings-rasani

    Not that's it's worth watching mind lol. That entire card was awful

    :bowdown Roe.

    Legendary stuff bro, that'll help a lot, I genuinely thank you for it. No problem with it being not so pleasing on the eyes, have you seen who some of my favourite fighters are?:lol:

    That's what I've always thought, the production is far ahead of what Sky offer and i doubt that they spend loads more, in fact if i had to guess i would say that Sky probably spend more, with their 10 pundits and insistence on setting up a studio at the venue. The quality of the fighters isn't that much better on ESPN but the match ups and the undercards are far more thought out and enjoyable.

    They pay promters something like $30-40,000 for each show :nut

    Crazy the amount of value they get for that. It's awesome when you stay up and get treated to something like Wolak/Rodriguez :yep

    They had such a great season last year, very much looking forward to it although losing BK is going to hurt

    ESPNS hiding of FNF actually really annoys me . I think i may have ranted about this before . I check ESPN to see whats on ( i have virgin ) and it will say some sort of college sports that i couldnt care less about .

    It's all about Ji-Hoon Chin, even if he did get starched by Lenny Z.

    Nice one, all we need is one more Irish guy and we'll have a 3-man strong Emerald Division.
    :lol: I love that dude, one of the only fighters you don't even have to think about when doing a stylistic analysis due to the fact he only has one way of doing things and in one gear. The definition of a windmiller, and the type of fighter the metaphor ''kill or be killed'' was used in boxing for, he's either mowing you down or getting himself mowed down.

    His win over Ameth Diaz is serious, but even forgetting the fact that Zappa flattened him, getting well and truly handled by Titere Vazquez in just about every round proved that he really is a one-trick pony, who's fairly easy to nullify if you stear clear of his rampages in the early going.

    EDIT: Oh, and Slip, whether or not you were intentionally inferring that we should to an End Of Season awards(it was hard to tell if it was that or you were merely saying if we did Prod had it on lockdown), it's getting done anyways. Good shout.:D
