    Looks at this weekends action:
    Margarito vs Williams
    Cintron vs Matthysse
    Jones vs Hanshaw
    Then we got Molitor, Khan, Gatti and Jirov in action.

    The only fight I can catch on telly will be Krasniqi vs Thompson, with several big eastern guys on the undercard.

    Does somebody have a tip as to where one can some of the other stuff live on the internet?

    Please!

    This depends on where you live and what TV access you have. The Khan fight will be on ITV1 in the UK along with Skelton-Sprott, and the undercard on ITV4. I'd love to watch Krasniqi-Thompson too, but I don't think we can here.

    I'm thinking: pay to watch online...
    I'm in Denmark at the moment. We have a few german channels.
    I'd like to watch Sprott-Skelton.

    Its P2P internet broadcasting, basically people put up tele on the web. I use it all the time for most fights.

    http://www.sopcast.org/

    Also, they post links on http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/ about an hour before the fights, but it is less reliable and not as good quality

    Visit http://www.dslreports.com and run a speed test. Let me know your results. The slow connection and constant buffering are due to A. Your connection sux or B. Too many people watching, and the broadcaster's upload bandwidth is maxed out. If it's B., then everyone trying to watch suffers the same consequence. I use Sopcast, and it does go into buffering here and there, but it's pretty good given that it's free.

    Just the sopcast client, similar to a chat client like AIM. No need to register or anything. You can use it anonymously.

    If you use a router it's possible that some ports might be blocked.
