One of my all time fave quotes "lets have some parliamentary procedure" 4 hours ago, bellevueace said: Also the dubious judges decisions are starting to alienate regular boxing fans with many on the british boxing forum calling out blatant robberies and calling the sport corrupt. They were all during the free to air tv era, boxing has generally disappeared behind a pay wall now and at £25 a pop to watch something that could be over in seconds, unless you're a die hard boxing fan and like to watch all of the undercard, it's quite a stretch. One of the best fights I've seen in recent years was the Eubank Jnr v Benn Jnr, the first one was epic!

Reading the views on the british boxing forum their equivalent to this forum a lot of fans are having the same discussions as us about the state and direction the their sport, seems its not just speedway though we are in a worse state. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phannan Posted December 20, 2025 Report Share Posted December 20, 2025 My excitement for the 26 season is starting to return. Sheffield, the team with the amazing track and fair minded fans is confirmed so that makes 4 and now I see Bomber is confirmed too. And Strictly finishes tonight. Happy days … 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
