    You´re right ! That's completely correct. Clearly remembers the event due to Crisanto Espana's surprising victory against Meldrick Taylor. Also remember how arrogant HBO´s posted staff were.

    Hatton-Tszyu started at around 2:00 AM UK time. I think it was the last UK fight to start at an unusual time just to accommodate to US audiences, as strange as it sounds since Tszyu wasn't even an American resident.

    I’m at work till 7 am anyway so I’ll have something to watch that kills an hour of a night shift so it’s all the same to me.

    But the American networks setting the times of fights in different countries to suit their own time zones is nothing new so unsure why it’s suddenly an issue now.

    If I wasn’t at work I’d just record it and watch it when I got up at a time convenient to me. It’s not in that top tier of unmissable when it’s live fights for me!

    Haha it might sound cushy but anyone who has ever worked a night shift will tell you it certainly ain’t easy. Sorts the men from the boys!

    If you wanna do a swap then you can come and take me off and I’ll go back home to yours and tickle your wife’s minge at 2am instead of being sat here with my feet up on a chair

    That must have been quality. Espana on the undercard too.

    I have to admit I went to bed and did not stay up. Have just watched the show from last night on the Sky Box and how great it was to listen to Adam Smith and Matthew Macklin. Going forward - when Top Rank Boxing have big boxing events - then I hope Smith and Macklin will be commentating. They are far better than the commentators Top Rank uses for their "world feed".

    Camera angles were awful though, kept switching every 5 seconds.

    How is that fraud an undisputed champion, not even top 3 in the division.

    2019 Campbell would have laid both of them out last night and he never won a world title

    Certainly a very easy route to undisputed. 1 belt via email and the other 3 from Kambosos.
