    It's on tape delay on ESPN Deportes (Spanish-language) later Saturday night, and on 24-hour delay on regular ESPN Sunday afternoon, but WATCH IT LIVE ON YOUR COMPUTER, FREE AND LEGAL! :deal

    Many people don't seem to realize that ESPN3 comes with their cable subscription. If you have ESPN on your TV, you should be able to access all the real-time streaming high-quality sports content of ESPN3.com on your computer.

    It won't just be the main event, either. They aired several undercard bouts prior to Sturm vs. Lorenzo last week. There are some undefeated prospects, and Johnathan Banks is taking on globetrotting trial horse Saul Montana. :good

    And you don't have to settle for a computer monitor...watch it on your big screen.

    If your computer AND TV have an HDMI port, simply connect a cable between the two, and you can watch live on your TV, instead of the computer. This is what I've done for other internet fights, and it works great. I got a 35ft HDMI cable at monoprice.com for around $30 total with shipping.

    There are other ways to connect to your TV, even if you don't have HDMI. Just google what you do have, or search youtube and you'll find videos that show you how to set it up.

    Remember, once it's setup, you can use it to watch ANYTHING (hulu, etc...) on your TV, not just this particular fight....so it's really worth the small amount of money and hassle to set it up.

    I love what they are doing with ESPN3 and great job showing these fights. I watch it online, and if you miss something, it's recorded so that you can replay it. It's great.

    Yeah. I used to do the HDMI setup before we got the brand new laptop, which is 17.5" of HD anyway.

    For those with lesser monitors and/or video cards, jacking into the TV is definitely the way to go.

    For those with Time Warner, you have my deepest condolences. That they don't include a free ESPN3.com subscription in their packages to paying customers is absolute bull****. You all should change your service if possible in your area.

    But is Klitschko-Peter 2 really worth changing your service for?

    It isn't by itself, but as part of the continuation of the ESPN boxing brand during parts of the year when ESPN2 Friday Night Fights is in its offseason, it could be. Together with Felix Sturm vs. Giovanni Lorenzo and Vitali Klitschko vs. Shannon Briggs, ESPN3.com is delivering cards of equal or greater quality to the ones shown during the regular FNF season, and this trend will most likely continue as online streaming content becomes an increasingly popular medium.

    I don't mind it at all.

    As long as your computer's not a piece of ****, the quality of the ESPN3 feed is always superb - right up there with HDTV.
