    I assume Smith v Dodson will be live, and the Brook inter-belt, and Bellew commonwealth fights will be pre-recorded.

    Great card, shame they are not showing them all live

    Oops - edited.

    However I think it will be a bit like to Quigley fight and Smith will win on points

    its because sky are reluctent to move ffn to one of there outher channels

    sp1 has to shw the super league and even then they cut off most of the post game analysis to give ffn a 10 start

    I do see this point. There was an article about the cosy relationship between Sky and ESPN and the used The Carling Cup final as an example. The build up did not start until just before kick off when they usually build up over an hour. This is because they said would have impacted on the Spurs v Everton game on ESPN and therefore they avoided a conflict

    More likely because they showed Rangers v Celtic live before the final and it would rate higher on SS1 than the other channels. :yep

    It is a shame this show is only getting the 2 hours, I'd rather they extend FFN for this one and recent shows like the Moore/Rhodes (plus Bayaar/Edwards, Davies Naspa) bill

    Looks like Bellew will be relegated to highlights. Darn. Hope it's a short fight :lol:

    I'll be surprised if we don't see some undercard bouts as well as these three fights in the two hours.
