[rellik13]

I like the fact that were gonna be able to watch the whole fight too! Hopefully this will bring in fans.

David Banks? The guy Manfredo beat in his last fight I believe? the one that jabbed Manfredo's eye off..?

really? those guys are in it? thats awsome.

The whole fights are a good thing to. They obviously are listening to the MASSIVE ammounts of critisism this show was getting from boxing writers and fans boxing fans and stuff.

I don't watch the contender

[Piggu]

It looks pretty solid.

[Kball15]

Woah, LOTS of really good and entertaining fighters in there. Like SAKIO BIKO.

And BUDDY McGirt is gonna be one of the Trainers! thats awsome, hes such a classic boxing personality.

and they arent airing the full fights on the show, they are showing them at a later date on ESPN2.

They are still gonna do the editing crap, just not as much they said

Wow, just wow. Those aren't world class guys but a bunch of them are only one step down. This coupled with the fact that we'll be able to see the whole fights now means I'm probably going to have to drop my grudge against the contender and watch it this season. Excellent, excellent news.

Paul Smiths taking this!

Great to see aussie and uk boxers involved to give it a bit more global interest.
