This boxing match fails the WP:EVENT#Inclusion criteria with no "enduring historical significance" or any "significant lasting effect" demonstrated. The coverage that exists is purely of the routine nature any sports match gets. Mt king ^(edits) 03:24, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No major title was at stake here, and I can see no other reason to consider this fight notable. The nominator's guesswork concerning boxing matches came up with the correct conclusion this time. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:49, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - WP:EVENT#Inclusion criteria states "[e]vents are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards (as described below)." By performing simple internet searches, a vast number of articles are found. The coverage seems to be widespread and covered in diverse boxing and sports sources. Therefore keep.

The critical word in that quote is "impact", what impact did this have ? answer "None". Mt king ^(edits) 19:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First, what makes 'impact' the critical word? How are you able to decide what word is critical? Second, it did have impact. It had two top-5 featherweight fighters fighting each other on premium cable where both fighters are formal title holders (see http://ringtv.craveonline.com/ratings/featherweight). This is no different than a random UFC event having a page (UFC Ultimate Fight Night 2)or a minor college bowl game having a page (2001 Seattle Bowl). All those have widespread impact in their sport as does this event. RonSigPi (talk) 16:23, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete No reason for this article to exist. Both boxers rightly have their own articles which cover this non-title fight. And if anyone wants to nominate minor MMA events or College Football games we'll consider them on their merits. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 23:47, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
