    My problem is as such:

    My Friday shift gets out at 5pm EST (that's GMT -5)

    My commute takes anywhere from 45 minutes (assuming a logout right as the clock changes from 4:59 to 5:00 and flying to the elevator to catch the bus at 5:01) to over an hour.

    That puts me home anywhere from 10:45 to 11:15ish GMT.

    Typically for British main events this is in time to catch at least a few rounds (assuming no early stoppage).

    Sky's website isn't much help here.

    Can anybody look at their TV lineup and tell me how long the program is? If it's only 10-11 or 11:30, for instance, it's safe to assume they're only showing the one fight (with some pre- and post- blab) putting IB squarely SOL. If it's 10-12 there's a chance they'll be showing some lead-ins (ie Fury) - which means there's a shot at me catching some of Sykes-Morris.

    In any event, would anybody else be willing to standby to tackle RBR duties? If home in time, it'd be my pleasure...

    Sky always start with the main event and show the undercard fights afterwards. Sykes-Morris will start around 10.10, 10.15

    However, occasionally they may start with a 4/6 rounder if its an Olympian or something.

    Anyone fancy a questionable decision/robbery?

    Is Dave Parris involved in this fight? What website do sky use for the in-play betting?

    Its 10 -12 IB so if this fight goes the distance you will probably catch Fury and hopefully Frampton

    Looking forward to this fight. The last couple of weeks I've been staggering in, fast forwarding through dave darts' pre fight drivel and then falling asleep :lol:

    Tins are in the fridge, the girfriend has gone out. A night of Fifa 2010 and live boxing awaits :good

    I've got to Sykes to win this - possibly a late stoppage.
