Aright they mate.Good for you to show us the records on each fighters in the tournament.I watched SoccerAM this morning when Barry Hearn and crew where discussing the the tournament in futher detail to the viewers.He mensioned that if this new U.K Heavyweight devision goes well then he's planning on doing the same tournament next year but including Middleweight too.He said he'd like to do all four original wight divisions e.g Featherwight,Welterweight,Middleweight as well as the Heavyweight.Should be good a prospect to look forward to.Anyhow talking about the Heavyweight contest....i reckon Dolan will win it as he is from the same area as me (Northeast)and he's 3/1 at the bookmakers to win.What do you reckon about the other weights being involed in the future,do you think it'll catch on?

Alright they!It was interesting was'nt it?To be frank with yer,i only knew one or two of the other fighters apart from my local boxer David Dolan.Like Hearn mentioned on the show that he and the fans watching will expect a all-out action packed night of big slug fest bout,due to the fact that each of the bouts are only four rounders!Should be good to watch!Im going to have a flutter on Dolan to win at the price of 3/1.The prospect of lighter divisions in the future in the tournament should be a GREAT IDEA!

Three undefeated fighters in there, along with a couple of big hitters too.

I remember seeing Darren Morgan a few years ago on a Calzaghe undercard, and I just remember him being crude, quite fat, but hit like a truck crashing into a shed at 40mph.

Unfortunately, I don't finish work until 10pm this Friday, so I'll miss a couple of the early bouts. Should be entertaining stuff though, and someone's '0' will certainly go.
