<p>When this event aired in the United States, it featured Timothy Bradley's huge 12-round split decision upset victory over Junior Witter to claim a title at 140 pounds and Carl Froch defeating Albert Rybacki via technical knockout at 2:35 of round 4. However, the telecast was also originally supposed to feature John Murray vs. Jon Fewkes. That match did not happen that night. However, the match had already been researched by the time it was canceled. Since, there is no point in wasting it. Here is the research that would have been used for the match that night:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the March 8, 2010 edition of Raw Triple H told Sheamus to be careful about challenging him (Triple H) to a match at WrestleMania. Triple H's reasoning was that everyone who had lost to "The Game" at WrestleMania had gone on to obsurity. In reality, that could not be farther from the truth. With 1 notable exception, every opponent Triple H has had at WrestleMania dating back to WrestleMania XVI has gone on to capture a major world championship.&nbsp; Here is how it breaks down:</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.number1contender.net/the-latest/rss-comments-entry-6966693.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Recap of Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera II</title><dc:creator>Jereme</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:15:22 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.number1contender.net/the-latest/2010/3/9/recap-of-manny-pacquiao-vs-marco-antonio-barrera-ii.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">241707:2415009:6952405</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>HBO Boxing After Dark Recap</p>

<p>This was an open letter I sent to Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez at f4wonline.com that has already been published there on the impending Monday Night Wars as TNA iMPACT! moves to Mondays.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hi Guys,</p>
</div>
<div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Everyone keeps talking about what ratings TNA will do when they switch to Monday nights. In reality, that is completely irrelevant. That is an out-dated mind set, and Vince Russo's obsession. This week Buddy Wayne, Jerry Jarrett and Jim Cornette all came on the radio shows and talked about using wrestling shows to draw money not ratings. The important thing is to see how the change to Monday will effect&nbsp;TNA's buy rates. TNA is already hot shotting the wrestling return of Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan to pop a big rating on March 8. That will probably do a big rating. It probably will also cost them thousands of buys on PPV. They will then celebrate getting a big rating, not mourn the fact they cost themselves possibly $1 million in lost PPV revenue to do it.</div>
