    You are welcome. There is always new talent in boxing. The trouble is most fans never get to see them. With the aid of the internet, I can watch Sky in Brittan, ZDF in Germany. There are many others too. The best bet is to go to the Euro or General forum on the day of a big fight card, and ask for the internet TV link.

    Thanks man.

    Anyone who is trying to say that things aren't what they used to be needs to watch this round, this fight. These boys give absolutley everything in these three minutes, if you want more you're probably a hormonal woman.

    We have the Joe Louis Documentary followed by Klitschko vs Ibragimov. Great lineup.

    I actually dont watch live fights anymore and havent for sometime because of the low value of today's fighters. Every big match turns out to be trashy showcasing their low budget fighters. This has been going on since the Tyson-McNeely bout. It was then that I knew undiscerning fans were desperate for whatever match was put out for them. So I just catch them free on Youtube or might order a few to get my money's worth.

    There will always be action no matter when but it seems that the sport is now dead or dying because there are no standouts. We could sure use a young Hector Camacho at a time like this. Perhaps the sport would benefit more like it did in the 80's if fighters got more exposure on network TV like fighters in the 1980's before going on to PPV.
