What the hell happened to Sky sports boxing ?

between the demise of setanta and the rise of boxnation sky was actually filling the boxing schedule nicely

sky box office fights went up the shitter because of khan-prescott and haye-klitschko both being huge dissapointments

all those inbetween are usurped by boxnation who to their credit are offering a far greater package than i originally assumed they would

if you love your boxing like i do just swallow the monthly payments boxnation ask for as they do actually offer more than a fair value for money:good

 

That's a dreadful fight if you take out the sentimental affection many feel for Rees.

 

February is actually a very good month for Sky.

Frampton/Martinez Selby/Lindsay 9th

Broner/Rees 16th

Brook/Alexander 23rd

Thats 3 good cards in a few weeks.

 

I've seen you say that Broner has done nothing to justify the hype he gets so how is fighting a former world champ dreadful?

 

dont forget eddie will steal uncle fr@nks thunder today by announcing kessler v froch

 

anyone that is looking forward to broner-rees has never seen rees fight with kotelnik

will be a 1sided beat down

 

Really?

Anyone who remembers that "title" fight and Rees' subsequent loss can tell you how little of a "world" champion he was. If you didn't watch it, fair enough, but scraping by M'Baye and then getting hammered by Kotelnik doesn't really suggest world-class to me.

Anyway, he was a "champion" how many years ago? Now he's a domestic-level fighter about to get an absolute beating. Terrible fight.

 

This is the 100% correct answer, they are ****s of highest degree

They have suspeneded my Sky bet account because i was not profitable customer.
I remember watching BBC program about this **** billioner who was using same tea bag 10 times a day to make a tea to safe £

 

They suspended mine for making 4 different accoutns to get the £10 free bet

 

He's certainly above domestic level IMO, I see him being fairly competitive with Broner for 4-5 rounds before the size advantage taking it's toll.

 

use to love friday fight night / odd sat night show lots of british title fights commonwealth titles english titles and good 8 rounders with a few prospects was great but now their hardly seems to b a show on its gone from weekly to one big show a month odd pf and some international shows.

 

Be honest, it's a really awful fight. Rees hasn't beaten anyone of real note since losing to Kotelnik. He has done nothing to merit a title shot.

If you take off the Rees-related blinders, it's a ****-poor excuse for a title fight.

 

Who actually earns a title shot now a days? It's a paper title anyway so I couldn't give a **** if Gavin hasn't earned his shot.

But if you look through Broner's previous title defenses at 130, Rees is arguably better then them.

I admit I'm a Rees fan, happy to see the lad get a big fight.
