Charr demands rematch with Klitschko...


Charr protests when the fight is stopped.

German heavyweight Manuel Charr is demanding a rematch with WBC world champion Vitali Klitschko after losing by a fourth round TKO on Saturday night (September 8th). The fight was stopped after Charr suffered a bad cut early in the fourth round and the doctor stopped the fight. Charr was furious with decision and believes the fight should have never been stopped.

"I came to Moscow to fight. I wanted to continue to fight. I was very motivated to fight with Vitali and to win the title. Anyone who knows me can attest to that. I never would have backed down. Vitali is a great champion, I really respect him but this battle was not win by Vitali. It was won by a doctor. The decision to stop the fight was not my decision. From the moment I started boxing. I became very familiar with the rules of the sport, and I cannot figure out how the doctor came out of Klitscko's corner to inspect my eye. I'm positive that he would at least tried to stop the bleeding but the fight was stopped almost immediately," said Charr.

I half agree with what Charr is saying... He would have fought on and maybe the cut wasn't as bad as it seemed but he must realise that no matter how hard he tries, he is never going to beat Vitali. Charr is actually a pretty decent fighter, and shouldn't have really taken the fight with Vitali at such an early stage in his career. If he goes about it in the right way and fights the right fights he could become a pretty decent fighter. Maybe never world champion but a world contender at least.

Quigg and Munroe left frustrated!

Quigg shows disappointment as fight gets called off.
The highly anticipated domestic clash between Scott Quigg and Rendall Munroe suffered a huge anti-climax when the fight had to be stopped in the third round due to a cut above Munroe's right eye caused by an accidental headbutt. The decision was given as a technical draw.

Although we had only seen two rounds, the fight was looking too be a British boxing classic. Munroe had won the first round and Quigg just nicked the second. The fans were on their feet throughout the whole of the first two and a half rounds and were very disappointed when the fight was called off. Some people even booed the doctor, but there was nothing he could do. There was no way that Munroe could have continued with a cut like that.

In the post-fight interview, Quigg claimed that the headbutt was completely accidental and said: "It's boxing, It's just how it goes isn't it."

Munroe was very annoyed at what had happened. He said that he understood that the doctor had to stop the fight but also expressed his anger towards what had happened. The main thing that annoyed both men was the amount of work they had put in for this fight. Both of them claimed that they had trained harder than ever before for this fight, and technically, it was all for nothing.

Ricky Hatton, who promotes both fighters, feels that there has to be a rematch somewhere down the line.

"There's gotta be a rematch... As soon as Munroe's cuts healed up, immediate rematch," said Hatton.

The thing that made this even more disappointing for the people involved is that it was Hatton's last show on SkySports. The former world champ-turned promoter wanted to go out with a bang and this was the show that was meant to do it.

I'm sure that we will definitely see a rematch somewhere down the line, but it could be a very long time. It was the type of cut that will take a very long time to heal and could affect '2 Tone's' career in the long term.
