I sincerely hope boxing is not going to start being used as a tool to make points to society the way football is these days............ie " if you work hard you can go from lifes lowest point to lifes highest point " just like Jason Booth !........... Football seems to be used as a tool to combat racism,homophobia,sexism bla bla bla..........i just cant remember the last time a fighter whos best days are long gone and who had lost 5 of his last 6 was given a title shot.....maybe im being cynical i dont know it just makes no sense.

*The*Field*Marshall* 674 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Was ringside tonight. . Fury is a tidy heavyweight, little bit right hand happy early on, knew the fight would soon end once he switched to the body. Looks promising at just 19. Good to see Lee looking fit, Booth kept him honest though, he may not have deserved the title shot, but gave a good account of himself given given his age and miles on the clock. . Had a hard time in the past, alcohol addiction I believe. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite right gnash, I don't know whether it was a scheduled defence for Haskins or whether it was call up for Booth, only 12 guys in the bantamweight devision, probably got a lot to do with it.
