Gary, the grand purse was for MT figthers,.. i.e. thai boxers,.. ask zebedee if you wonder who im on about,... the £350 was for a (10x2) commonwelath title.
These days commonwealth title seems to be a hyped up version of a britsh title in my opinnion in a lot of cases.

FC is an exciting sport ,... its also a hard sport,.. how many ppl can land 8 hard kicks per round above belt??? it takes skill to be able to land a side kick to the face or a hook kick or spinning heel kick
there are Fc specialists who can KO ppl with spinning heel kicks e.g. neil kelly from birmingham. There are other FC specialist who have good kicks and use the full range,.. examples: Harvery Harra(who is npow a copper), Fran Zuccala ( who is now concnetrating on his full time academy), Neil kelly is temporarily reitred,.... but as it is he is THE BEST 81kg fighter in the UK,... i dont know any FC figther at 81kg who can stand their ground with neil kelly without being kciked to shit LITERALLY or being demoralised by his powerful legs.

The point im trying to make is that its dying coz the potential is often killed off before they can shine,.. ppl given title shots after 1 or 2 fights??? whats that all about? anyone want any examples ill be glad to give them.
Titles defended against opposition with more losses than wins (KO specialists or good foigthers need not apply!!!,.. LOL)
FC figthers need to be "NURTURED" first which is what ppl arent doing.
whats the answer people?
