    Be good, especially if they can get beyond the usual McGuigan/Eubank/Benn footage.

    I enjoyed it. Could do with being longer though. But maybe that's just being greedy.:yep

    missed it, totally forgot about it.

    I hope ESPN repeat it, 150 times a day...like they do with all the other programs.

    It was decent. Not just using the same old footage (at least not yet!) of the fighters :good

    It's Chris Finnegan and Johnny Frankham II tonight at 11:10. This is an old-school fight to end old-school fights. Smoke in the ring, purple gloves, dark bruises, too much pride - a fight from a time when there was no easy route anywhere.
    I hope that you all enjoy it.

    Adios.

    Grant,
    That's a great idea because it is a rapid 30 mins my old son!

    Adios.

    I liked it. Apart from the Hamed fight, I'd never seen any of those ones. It's funny, looking at Calzaghe in his second fight I would never have guessed he would have had one of the longest world championship reigns in history.

    I agree.

    Buncey did say that he hoped that ESPN would take up the rights and show boxing in this country.
