    I mean I know it's delayed by six days but I nearly fell out my seat when I saw it on their schedule via skytext. They used to do this in the past as their overseas coverage peetered out. It's a decent card and even though it's not live and lengthy delayed coverage......is this the start of something?






















    Nah...........................me and Jack have met too many times tonight :happy

    Wow. That's a real positive step in the right direction. Very surprising news.

    Perhaps there's hope for a post-setanta future after all.

    Maybe Setanta have spoiled us but it needs to be live or next day.

    Boxing is a sport which is really spoiled by knowing the result.

    Totally agree. They should put it on the next day. It's not as if they have shows on their schedule that they can't shift. **** it they could even put it on SS3 or something.

    Thank you.

    I couldn't disagree more. Football, cricket, rugby etc is only really worth watching live and if you can't manage that then highlights. But boxing, I think, can be enjoyed even if you know the result due to the variables.

    Don't get me wrong, I can watch old fights over and over but IMO a big attraction of boxing is the possibility that the direction of a contest can change at anytime. If you know what happens it loses that edge big time for me.

    Even watching fights the next day, without knowing the results, doesn't feel the same as staying up late and watching it live.

    better than nothing, this could be a great fight

    going by berto and urangos last fights this could be foty candidate

    and i cant wait to see cintron get battered by an even bigger tougher version of margarito aka Alfredo Angulo
