    HBO stinks - NOT showing the Vitali-Charr fight live, but only a taped replay at about 9:30 p.m. U.S. eastern time. The fight actually starts around 1:00 p.m. live here on U.S. eastern time, which is 8 hours back from Moscow time.

    Yeah I have to ignore ESB because I'd rather watch the tape delay on HBO than a crappy stream at the regular time.

    I dont see why they don't post it live at 1. Its not like HBO has any super special events going on during the day.

    HBO thinks otherwise. They know what fights to pick!

    thats because the u.s. will be watching college football from noon till about 10 pm.... and HBO doesnt air those fights live that early anyway, ive seen some at 4 or 5 in the afternoon (and that was 2 or 3 times) and never at 1 pm especially during football season.

    Anything delayed is worthless for boxing fans. We live in the internet age where everything is live....get with the program HBO.

    Why would anyone watch Ward - Dawson? A guaranteed snoozefest, yet HBO shows that live. HBO loves **** fights, just the truth.

    Wait till tonight and watch all the fights together. Nothing to complain about here.

    I'm guessing that the delayed broadcast is so that, it it ends up being a snooze-fest, they can edit it and just show the highlights instead.
