New Heavyweight K.o Tournament

[donnydarkoIRL]

I dont know mate!If that right then i cant understand his method of trying to establish it over Austrailia.No wonder the heavyweight divison is so corrupt and has been for so long.Mind you i'll give Lewis so 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(Austrailia) there 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!

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

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.

I will, thanks for the heads up!
I guess it was a problem with the original, in organising to have all those world class fighters free and trained at the same time too.

Yvonne please don't hate me but unfortunatley good (even half way good) heavweights from our part of the country are about as frequent as a sandstorm in Byker .

I hope this guy is as good as you say and wins the whole thing - what a boost for boxing in the North East that would be - I'll be rooting for him 110 %

Now then mate good to hear some feedback on the Heavyweight K.O Tournament.I can understand your view on the subject that our Heavyweight Division prospects in the country is rather poor at this moment in time and has been for a number of years,not to mention the poor tallent scattered across the rest of world.It has to change round some how!This tournament wont be a fast fix to the problem in the ranks,but if it's supported in the right manner in the right direction then it could at least be a good solid foundation to the divison other here.It's a good idea,it can only do better carnt it??I hope DOLAN wins.He's got the tools and power to do so.
