Boxing Competition! 
SkySports Fight Night Match scheduled: 05-02-2011 from 20:00 until 23:00-GMT
At Brentwood, England: Jamie Arthur vs. Jason Booth, 12 rounds, for Arthur's Commonwealth junior featherweight title; David Price vs. Osborne Machimana, 10 rounds, heavyweights; Ashley Sexton vs. Martin Power, 10 rounds, junior bantamweights
On paper, the main event looks like a solid matchup between two good domestic level U.K. fighters who usually give it their all. Booth lost a closer than expected fight to Steve Molitor in a title shot his last time out, while Arthur revived his seemingly flagging career with a win over Kris Hughes, garnering him the Commonwealth title at super bantamweight. As it is, both the Commonwealth and British titles are on the line for this one. Price was a 2008 Olympian at super heavyweight, but his competition thus far has been poor and he really hasn't shown much in terms of anything other than sheer size. Machimana is a step up in class for Price - he's the reigning South African heavyweight titlist, and owns a recent win over part-time boxer, part-time golfer Corrie Sanders, but he's also a known quantity who has lost badly to guys like Livin Castillo, Shane Cameron and Albert Sosnowski.
