Yehh i herd about this a long time ago in a boxing magazine,its gna be good

[rooq]

i like this as there are some genuine prospects there on the brit side and they need a good test like this. i think the us team will be favourites though just cos they have experienced boxing at a higher level

[jonbonjovi]

pity its not being shown live...i might have to go instead.
its probably just going to be seven 5-round fights, so there won't be an overall individual winner..just team UK or team US

Oh ok, still be **** hot tho! Who u got winning UK or US?

depends who's matched with who...

i think it will be competitive anyway...the american fighters might not look good on paper but they've got loads more experience and have been through the whole 5-round thing before. someone like small looks like hes got the skills but he's untested at domestic level, nevermind world.

it'll be entertaining though and if they package the tv series properly it could do wonders for the popularity of the sport in this country and set off some more of warren's boxers on the road to stardom.
