    This is hilarious and about time! :rofl

    Yes Bunce rules are there to be broken but sometimes they need to be adhered to aswell, especially when it's deragotory to the sport.

    :hi:

    you guys were all jumping for joy when Bellew got his shot. Lets be real Kransqui and Karpency were move worthy contenders.

    I think he's just pointing out that the Hearns aren't the shining knights some make them out to be. B Hearn used to be as big a weasel as Fwank.

    E Hearn seems better, but I still can't forgive his part in getting Audley Harrison a title fight.

    Or Is Bellew underated? he gave Cleverley probably one of his hardest fights to date.

    As Gaz has said many times, it comes down to whether you consider Cleverley is a world-class fighter taking on euro-level opposition, or whether he's a euro-level fighter who just happens to hold a belt.

    Option B seems most accurate.

    Bellew was a decent opponent by that criteria and I felt beat Cleverley. Can't blame Frank for not stepping him up when he's looking **** against B-rate fighters.

    I actually don't mind. It was a **** fight, everyone knew it, except some clueless ****s who imagined Audley was going to change into a totally different fighter against the best guy he'd ever faced.

    The reason I bring it up is when people make out Eddie's "doing it for the fans". I've seen no evidence of that at all from him. He's a business man and recognises he needs to sell the product his customers want, but if he sees a way to make a shitload of cash while turning out substandard product, he will.

    In fact, he does already. It's called Prizefighter. :blurp

    Whats to say Kransqui won't be under rated?

    All we knew of Bellew was he knocked out a couple of bums and then got bashed up by Ajisafe and McEnzie.

    So Fwank's Cheque to the WBO bounced again.

    Time will tell with Hearn I suppose? Apart from the Audleygate scandal the early signs are good but then again he's got many other sports to fall back on and money to play with, no doubt it would be a different story if he only had to rely on boxing to make a profit.

    And your right, Prizefighters ****.

    He might be, but the Bellew fight also had the Brit clash and bit of needle to it.

    Plus doesnt Krasniqi have a decent WBO ranking? which kinda confirms he's not underated more overated!

    You could say that about Audley Harrison vs David Haye.

    The fact they picked this fellow, when they knew about the mandatory situation speaks for itself.

    I actually think Prozefighter is good for boxing, for both up and comers and last chance saloons.

    Perfect platform to get your career going or give you one last chance at getting a title shot.

    Alot of the fights are better match up than any of FWP's.
