Haye winning the Cruiserweight must be the most recent.

Eddie Hearn gets stick for his fighters going abroad and losing so it seemed a good question to ask before the Kell Brook fight.

David Haye went to France and defeated Jean Marc Mormeck, he'd already fought for a world title versus Carl Thompson so understandably people may of considered him to no longer be a prospect. Lennox Lewis and Nigel Benn are good shouts. Interestingly both had experience 3/4 bouts in America before their title shot.

edit: Martin Murray drew with Sturm.  Barker - Geale was on neutral territoty.

No current, but Robin Reid won his first world title in Italy.

Kinoshbi leads the way with Robin Reid in 1996. After Kell Brook, Paul Smith will be giving it a go versus Arthur Abraham.

Slight derail.......anyone know what time the Brook fight is expected to start?

Don't fancy getting up at 2am if it starts at 5am for example.

Just had a look on Matchroom, and it says the card is 8pm-11pm, so I'd imagine that it's going to be a late one.

It'll be a 4/5am jobbie, too late to stay up for, but too early to get out of bed for.

It also falls under the free for non sky sports customers promo.

I've just had a nice old curry, so am probably going to doze off while watching Good Will Hunting, and then wake up with a crick in my neck about 1 Cheesy

Think it'll be on earlier than 4am. The programme is scheduled to finish at 5am, so that wouldn't give much time at all for any analysis if the fight goes 12 rounds (47 minutes).

But I might be wrong.

To be fair Paul Smith wouldn't have much of a chance if this fight was fought on a street corner in Toxteth.

I had Brook by 2, but I wonder much the Hearns paid for that 117 - 111??  WTF?

I thought it was about level but honestly thought Kell had literally zero chance of getting the decision.  Am amazed by those scorecards even though they might not be that far off.  When they announced Dave Parris card I was thinking "so typical of the British judge to actually score it fair....no chance the yanks will do that"
