    No because boxing doesn't exist in Estonia.
    Seriously, i got Proksa - Sylvester a week after the fight on Eurosport. Thats the best im getting. 2 cards a week and its mostly replays.

    I think this is a great fight. I'm honestly not sure about who wins. I feel that both have proven to be quality at 168. Both have solid skills, good speed, reflexes and talent. But I think the experience edge goes to the canadian champion. Youth is of course on the side of the Irish-American:roll:, Ward. I'd buy it because it's a unification fight and it's between the two best in the division which has turned out to be a pretty hot division after years of being stale.

    Yes...

    But I'd put Bute-Froch and Bute-Pascal in front of Bute-Ward.

    I would go watch it at a bar, but I wouldn't pay for it. Ward's style is not worth the PPV fee, although I think Bute would make it a more entertaining fight.

    No. These are the fights that could make you a PPV fighter.

    Just like what Arum tried with Gamboa Juanma. That's a great HBO WCB fight which could ve turned the winner into a PPV fighter. Yet he waited and fed them bums in the hope that Gamboa Juanma could be a PPV fight. Now one lost and the opportunity is gone. Bad promotion.
