New Heavyweight K.o Tournament

[yvonne]

Now then U.K boxing fan.It's great to hear that fans are welcoming the new K.O tournament which starts on the 11 of April at the one and only top quality venue that is YORK HALL in London.Im really looking forward to what the u.k have on offer in the heavyweight division.Having each of the opponents to anticipate in more than one bout throughout the tournament should'nt be a problem as to each of the bouts only have duration of three 3minute rounds.Good to hear your a fan from the north east.Will you be rooting for David Dolan to win?

Not surprising coming from Hearn.. is surprising we still don't have "Premier League Boxing" though

Well hopefully this new Heavyweight K.O Tournament would cast a light on the Premier League.You never know it could be a start of a new era in the division.It's a start at least!Someone has to bring a new fresh hope in the ranks of the division.Weather there is a Tournament similar already out there in europe i dont know?if not then it could and should generate interest over in there as well.

Wasn't this idea first pitched in Oz and endorsed by Lennox Lewis? It was called Superfighter then.

I dont know mate!If thats right then i cant understand his method of trying to establish it over Austrailia.No wonder the heavyweight divison in the U.K is so corrupt and has been for so long.Mind you i'll give Lewis credit for the idea,but why was'nt he interested over here in the uk?Their cant of been any good prospects,but then why the hell did he try over oz instead?Thats not the right place to try and adopt a tournament like that especially in the Heavyweight division,i mean who the hell is their out there(Austrailia)who is worth boardcasting?.....NO one i suspect!!

I believe Lennox Endorsed the idea rather than thought of it.

The idea was to bring back focus to the Heavyweight division by placing short fights close together in an eliminator tournament, with rounds scored on aggression (so no snooze fests)

Alright they mate.I still give credit for Lewis on promoting the tournament,well after all who else could the oz's rely on in promoting a tournament like that over there?!A nice lump some of £££s to be had for the winner.A toal of approx of 2.7million pounds,WOW thats big money and it's not even a world title bout!!Their were't shy on giving the money away where their?And i wonder who eventually won the tournatment,i bet thats all their won as well considering the lack of pedigree from over there.BIG THANKS for the article you sent from the BOXING NEWS MAG.Most appreciated mate!The U.K will make a better match up from the previous one for sure.Thanks!
