I use to stay up but not anymore, last one I stayed up for was manny vs mayweather and I felt like **** for a whole week afterwards. Getting old, my body don't like it
I used to stay up when I was younger, now I put the alarm on at 4-5am then watch the main event. I didn't bother with the PAC v Vargas fight even though I got box nation. The last time I use the alarm method was Canelo v Smith as I had some big cash on canelo 7-12 ko.
Anyone know who is commentating and doing analysis on the Sky coverage? Reckon I'm gonna try find an HBO stream for this instead. Unless Sky can get someone like Paulie to do the commentary.
Fancying ward on points big time tonight. Kovalev always dangerous...but ward will do what hes done to them all throughout his career. Will end three or four points in it maybe wider. This is mayweather v pacman garcia v mattyuese the better boxer usually pulls through in the end.
I watched a few Kovalev fights back this morning and my pick of Ward is just strengthened. He's very open to straight shots. The Cleverly fight was a long time ago but Clev was landing very easily and cut Kovalev with a left. Ward is too smart to get caught in the pocket and when he does he will hold. It will be interesting to see whether the ref warns Ward for that early on because there will be a hell of a lot of holding tonight.
I saw earlier that fight time is about 4am. Thinking this a bit early. Anyone seen anything to indicate the main event fight time?
I suspect it'll be Adam Smith with Froch which would make sense. I just saw Johnny Nelson's prediction for the fight, Ward by KO9. How they continue to hire this clown is laughable. A Ward win by KO is literally the last thing that will be happening.
Would also like to know this as i plan on setting my alarm for watch the main event, I usually record and watch in the morning but really looking forward to this one. Last time i set my alarm was for the khan/canelo fight, and ended up missing a few rounds and the fight didn't last long as it was.
I'm setting the alarm for 4am. Better to be early than late. Khan/Canelo didn't start til about 5am did it? This is Vegas so I could see it not starting til at least 4:30am to be honest.
Can't remember what time it started, i just remember turning it on in like round 3, I might have pressed snooze or somerthing. I just remember khan looking very good at the time then shortly after BOOM LOL Will set my alarm for 4am to be safe, don't want to miss this one! Might try and hit the sack a little earlier as well.
Remember Chilemba is on the card so we'll probably get a 12 rounder from him. Pretty sure we won't see ring walks earlier than 4:15.
OK thanks re fight times. Fancy Kov for this one. Can't see Ward not getting tagged in some way that will lead to a stoppage. I'd like to see Ward win tho.
I keep changing my mind! Either Ward holds, counters and spoils his way to a wide decision or Kovalev gets to Ward, hurts him and either stops him or wins a tight points decision... Think I'm going to get up at 4am, watch it then go back to bed, doubt I'll be able to stay up the whole night for it nowadays!
