New Heavyweight K.o Tournament

[yvonne]

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)

No hassle, the tournament never took place however, which was a pity. I believ it had something to do with television licensing or something

[yvonne]

It's a shame it never got fully got off the floor.It sounded like good future prospect.I guess it never got off due to licence rights or some kind of goverment boardcasting law or just a simple matter of not enough ££££s involved,never mind.Lets hope that the U.K version has better foundation,which im 100% certain it will have.Im really looking forward to the event.Look out for David Dolan in the tournament.He has got a unbeaten record and is doing great at the moment as pro after he left being a rugby player for his local team WEST HARTLEPOOL.He could win it out right.
