    Rubbish!! They took the man's livelyhood away...for walking up to Haye...Haye threw the punches.

    Spitting in Wlad's face Inexcusable, Slapping vitali's face inexcusable, mouthing off about shooting Haye inexcusable.

    But there were mitigating circumstances...Wlad in dressing room, Haye chatting ****, stealing Delboy's thunder...etc etc etc.

    Tyson did FAR worse, Holmes ran and fly-kicked Berbick off of a car roof, Barrera Morrales, Riddick Bowe on NUMEROUS occasions.

    Frank ****** had every right to come on the show and put his fighters side across..and it was hardly a Frank ******/chisora cheerleader session.... colin Hart was there CASTIGATING chisora, so stop with the Bashing!

    As for the show...Ringside do their thing and Bunce's boxing hour do their thing....I prefer the personal, grass roots style of the boxing hour, but also enjoy Ringside...Groves/De-Gale was a show I enjoyed immensely!

    The incidents you are referring to were along time ago, times move on Chisora deserves his punishment!

    Agreed, was along time ago...not sure that chisora deserves to lose his career for what he did, unpalatable...yes! Deserving of punishment...yes! Loss of career....No!

    He'd already been fined for the slap, and so that's out of the equation IMHO.

    The spitting was disgraceful and deserved punishment, again IMHO.

    Haye being at the press conference, looking at the situation at every angle, wasn't needed. Chisora should've stayed at the table, granted, but what's beyond dispute is that Haye threw the first punch, infact I didn't witness chisora throw a punch!

    Shouting off his mouth that he was going to shoot haye...disgraceful...any more disgraceful than Haye saying that the audley harrison fight would be as one sided as a gang ****???? A tad maybe....but lets remember that Haye didn't recieve a ban. Not ancient history either!!

    So all things considered, chisora losing his licence was harsh...again IMHO

    Anyways great both shows...no hate for ringside from me! I personally prefer the boxing hour, but that's just me. More boxing on the sports channels, more promotion of the greatest sport on earth...and thank god for Boxnation...the only dedicated boxing channel on british TV! Gutted it didn't happen in yester-year.

    I dont have too much of an issue with the actual fight with Haye, infact I blame Haye for that and believe Haye shold have received some kind of Police caution.

    I doubt he will lose his career, he'll probably get it back wethere thats 6 months or a year who knows but he cant continue to act like that, its the opposite of what boxing is about.

    It could be written as "it" in that context.

    I do despair of you at times...

    What 'mitigating' circumstances? There was no threat to dereck at any point except the one he instigated.

    Lets be honest here. Buncy's Boxing Hour is a PR propoganda programme. Its like Korean state run TV
