    Just wondered what kind of coverage this fight is getting over there? None? Loads?

    I doubt there's much hype for it but I CAN'T WAIT. One of the best fights of the year so far, if not the best.

    About as much as an ESPN Friday Night co-main event...

    Educated, objective fans know it's a fairly meaningless fight....but hey, at least it's gonna end up being recognized as the most meaningless fight with the highest attendance...

    It is what it is...the A side of the bout has already been Owned by a guy with a torn rotator cuff on his right arm and a fractured hand on his left...

    Yes...you read that correctly....Carl Froch was comprehensively beaten by a guy with injuries on BOTH sides...lol...it's really amazing in hindsight...

    and to be fair, it should be noted...generally, America doesn't give a **** about Boxing...yet we still rule it.

    On the other hand, it's obvious England cares...80k for that...lol...pity they don't have any great fighters...

    "Great" fighters don't get schooled by guys with a torn rotator cuff and a fractured hand....

    Still you care about it enough to post here. You'll never get to experience a crowd of 80k watching a boxing match. Though I suppose you lads have wrestlemania instead .....:lol:

    Andre, I know you're frustrated that your career is in the shitter right now, but this is really unbecoming of you. Honestly shocked your brittle hands are even allowing you to touch a keyboard at this point in time. Oh well, fight the good fight. :good

    A fitting name for someone who has never had a real fight in their life and the closest thing to it was fighting your dad off from beating your mum up when you was a child :deal

    Hmmm dunno if I agree with that.
    The heavyweight championship of the world is the halo, long been out of American hands.
    The best cruisers are European.
    2 of the 3 light heavy champs are not from the USA.
    The top super middle is American but the excitement is in the UK and most of the belts are in Europe, along with the contenders.
    At middleweight only 1 belt in in America, the rest, along with almost all of the top 10 are elsewhere.
    Light middle, welter and light welter is a strong showing for the USA - around 50% of the top ten and of course FMJ is champion in two of those three weights.
    Lighter than that its all Latin America, Asia and Europe as has always been the case.

    America is very important to World Boxing, for the money if nothing else, but ruling it? Nah.
