Boxing on Fight Network (Sky 427)

I heard that they are now going to show fights from the uk and other big fights from around the world.

 

I don't think they showed the main event. I watched most of the undercard, there was about 1/2 hour of the programme left and a 12 rounder on the undercard had only just started.

 

They also showed the JC Bhops weigh in live. So a channel to keep your eye on.

 

They don't always show what is listed. I tuned in twice yesterday for the Mijares countdown, but they interviewed a wrestler for 1/2 hour instead.

 

Yeh I posted this in the boxing on british tv thread. People should check that thread every now and again. It can be useful :good

 

they show programmes from before&after fights(rjj-tito,witter-bradley)

 

Yep. Not a bad channel at all. They used to be the wrestling channel but then changed to fight network because they wanted to show more varied programmes. Seen a few old British fights on there a couple of times and the odd recent American bout.

 

It's certainly a strange channel! You get the likes of 'Real Catfights' but then I found myself watching the Calzaghe-Hopkins weigh-in on there when Setanta couldn't be bothered to show it on any of their multiple channels

 

They showed the full card, the program ran for about an hour and half past the schedule so the main event was shown as (what should have been) the next program.

 

:good I should have it on Sky+

 

Cage Rage etc is fun to watch but some of them guys just can't punch to save their lives. A half decent boxer would deliver a combo and KO them before they had a chance to grapple.

David O'Donnell always makes me laugh with his enthusiastic presenting style. I think even Andrew Geer laughs at him. Never understood why they have that shitty announcer for the Cage Rage shows.
