    Its times like these I wish they made more channels devoted to just boxing and nothing else I don't care if its a channel owned by Goldenboy called Ringtv or Ringtv HD that just show local fights and ratings everyday ESPN FNF gone for this period is going to kill me:twisted:

    Yeah? I give it a SOLID 8. And for FNF card standard I give it a 9 1/2.

    First won to get to 5 and win by 2 games wins the final set, that could take 30 minutes.

    :think I might have gone that high if it weren't for a sinking feeling (apropos of nothing, just something in my gut) that DD is just completely done and unable to make the co-feature very competitive. It'll be a treat to be wrong. :thumbsup

    I think Grady wins. Also, since they are showing tennis are we missing the fights?

    What really sucks is that this is only the quarterfinals of a non-major tourney in Cincinnati.

    Yeah, where's the boxing???!!!

    I'm a tennis fan & this is a good match they have going, but it is annoying about the delay.

    Have a beer, do a few hits. Enjoy it. Its FRIDAY Night!:smokeWe'll have FNF's soon enough.

    With Lundy I think he will give Diaz chances. Esp since when he seen him at the weigh in for the first time he said how small Diaz was so I expect him to go at Diaz and give Diaz chances and make it a good fight.

    When things like this have happened before and the early part of FNF has been preempted, they've usually held up the card until the live TV broadcast can start.

    Of course, that was in the days before ESPN3.com

    Now they might just stream live on the website, and then catch up on delay whenever tennis ends.

    Cinci is a major tune up for the USOpen.

    I'm just grateful this **** 3 sets, not 5. Still, how do you still have a match showing, that's just barely started when you have a live broadcast on the schedule?
