	Boxing News: Hatton vs Smith: British Board of Control to meet on Nov 5
		15.10 - The British boxing board of control are due to meet in London on November 5th for a special meeting to decide on the action needed to be taken after the Ricky Hatton versus Stephy Smith fight ended in chaos.
		Board General Secretary Simon Block said " we were going to consider the disbursal of Stephen Smith's purse and the conduct of Darkie Smith - separately." He went on to add " as a result of a complaint by Frank Warren we cannot deal with the matter expeditiously."
		The board of control have made it clear that this type of incident will not be tolerated, they will not look favourably on 57-year-old Darkie's behaviour and a ban from boxing seems inevitable.

		The anticipated demise of the British Boxing Board of Control in the wake of yesterday's judgment in the Michael Watson appeal may provide a rare opportunity to provide some kind of lead in the fight to clean up the sport.
		The board, who have been in administration for the past year and are in any case a non-profit-making organisation, cannot afford to pay.
		The board have done a sterling job in recent years in keeping a lid on the number of incompetent or unhealthy fighters coming into this country to box on professional shows.

		There is a system in Britain that allows boxing board officials to call in on fighters to check if they are within striking distance of their weight target.
		Dr O’Neill resigned after the board sought and accepted independent medical advice that eventually cleared McCullough to fight on, despite still having the 2cm cyst on his brain that put him out of the ring in the UK two year’s ago.
		I assume that the resigned doctors are regarding the moves by the BBBC as a slight on their initial opinions and advice which ultimately stopped McCullough from earning a UK fight licence in October 2000.

	Guardian \| Boxing board liable for Watson brain damage
		The British Boxing Board of Control today lost its appeal against a ruling that it was liable for the devastating brain damage suffered by fighter Michael Watson nine years ago.
		In the court of appeal, the BBBC argued that it was purely a regulatory body and did not organise fights or arrange for medical assistance, which was the responsibility of the boxers or the organisers and promoters.
		"By reason of its control over boxing, the board was in a position to determine, and did in fact determine, the measures that were taken in boxing to protect and promote the health and safety of boxers," he said.

		When Miss Couch made her application, the Board felt unable to consider it further at the time due, principally, to the physiological differences between males and females and the fact that there had been little or no research as to what additional dangers, if any, applied to women that did not apply to men.
		It was not the Board's view that women should not box, but rather that, at the present time, we were ill-equipped to take on the responsibility for women's boxing.
		We had offered assistance to the fledgling Women's International Boxing Federation in order that they could be constituted to properly regulate, licence and control their sport but, regrettably, in practice this did not happen, although the WIBF still exists as a Championship organisation.
