    Bunce and lillis are building up to be quite a team actually. Much better then the bland presenters we get on sky (other then nelson).

    I think it has been poor at times but recently they really seem to have got their act together, hopefully it continues.

    The nature of boxing some months are always going to be a lot better than others.

    One complaint at the moment: when they have new content, in the first couple of days after a fight, they should repeat a few times every day. They don't seem to have done that for this weekend's fights. It should be very easy to catch a repeat of a new fight. When they have new content, no reason why they couldn't repeat and then immediately repeat again.

    Also, it woud be better if they didn't display messages permanently on screen. If they want to advertise for new viewers during free view, can't they scroll the message every now and then?

    But anyway, fact is, is that F.W. and BoxNation are responsible for a lot of fights being shown here that otherwise wouldn't have got on UK TV. Some months at least are very good value.

    I really am starting to wonder about all of these TV threads. This Boxnation PR team or something?

    Excellent channel.

    Could do with some more domestic shows but if the Brutannia offering is anything to go by we're not missing much.

    Had a couple of OK fights on paper, which turned out to be OK in the ring. Nothing special, sure.

    I agree with this.

    The Alvarez / Trout fight was shown live early Sunday morning but then wasn't shown again until late Sunday afternoon. Would be great if they were to show it again at 9/10 on the Sunday morning.

    That brings up the issue of someone needing to work to edit it, unless they can just full repeat a chunk of it.
