    I hope they start showing the boxing cards they show in America. Can not understand why they would not.
     
  6. I take it this means Boxing USA returns on C5 too in the early hours too??

    Really, really enjoyed the last one when Rigondeaux topped the bill. Can't wait for the FFN's to return as ESPN get some good fights in-and-out:happy.

    Don't think so. Five are completely axing their late night sport after christmas that they've been phasing out for a while for SuperCasino every night instead.

    Good spot tamsim!!? :good
    Been lookin forward to ESPN bringing back boxing....seems like ages
    The rang of MMA programmes they show is enormous (live events, MMA live show, UFC all access, ufc unleashed) compared to boxing which seems to have slipped under the radar (apart from boxing short stories which is a good watch)

    Even though I don't have ESPN I am looking forward to the return of Friday Fight Nights. It really is a great little show with for the most part very solid matchups, I especially like the Jesse Brinkley-Curtis Stevens fight I wouldn't mind seeing the winner of that take on Lucian Bute would make for a decent stop gap opponent for him whilst he waits for the likes of Pavlik, Super Six winner and possibly Edison Miranda in a unification.

    I'm glad the new ESPN boxing season is about to kick off, as i like the studio stuff probably more than the actual fights! But the last time they showed boxing (Jason Litzau Vs Johnnie Edwards) the card was never aired on ESPN UK..so i'm not too optimistic.:bart

    If they start adding boxing to their schedule, then consider me signed up. But it needs to be regular, and I want classic fights screened too.

    If everyone asks about these fights on the ESPN they will get them all on live on the UK station. It is better than what they normally have on just bombard them with emails.
