Why was the Bhattia eliminator not shown on SS1 tonight?

    Tonight there was women's cricket shown for about 4 hours, and volley ball on another on SS3. I am not fan of either, but accept on a dedicated sports channel they should cater for all tastes.

    The boxing started early at 8, but why is there a rush to finish by 10? Football Asia was scheduled for 10, but that was not a live shown and could be run at anytime.

    What is is about Sky that boxing always has a 2 hour limit, unless it is a PPV?

    My God!!!

    I was at York Hall tonight and this was a great fight...

    It was toe - toe and the viewers at home have been cheated out of a great fight. Jamie Arthur got the decision 96-95 but I had it the other way. Everyone around us had different opinions.

    Sky should hold their heads in shame.

    Back in the 90's, sometimes Sky wouldn't broadcast some undercard fights on a live show, and instead save them for their Ringside show a week or two later. Would like to think that's the case here... (yeah, keep dreaming!)

    He can definitly come back. He simply got dragged into a brawl that never suited his style and still had many people thinking he won.

    Another fight involving Dave Parris that went 96-95.

    Can we just have a 96-94 or a draw please..... you are creating suspicion :lol:

    Just glad Michael Alexander wasn't reffing!
