    More importantly, has anyone actually seen more than extended highlights of the first and third fights? I don't think the BBC ever showed more than twenty minute highlights from either.

    AS i seem to recall the BBC grandstand coverage rarely showed full 15 rounders
    often preferring to show 10 - 11 rounds and featuring the progress of an undercard prospect. Jimmy Flint , Billy Knight et el.

    McVey might might have an insight, chances are he was at those fights.

    Yes they nearly always showed highlights although they did show some fights live.
