    Well played by ITV but boxing being delayed 24 hours totally changes the atmosphere, excitement etc Any punch could change something and if you know the result the suspense is gone. You'll only then enjoy it if its a really good fight.

    My mate went to Harrison v Williams and loved it cos each punch is being cheered and people are expecting something to happen. Same happened to me when I went Sprott v Williams III. Average fights but the suspense makes it awesome.

    I always say I'll wait 24 hours but I never can. I might watch it online. I want the suspense.

    A brit?

    Froch is as english as bangers & mash IMO, hes Englands fighter & his win is a victory for English boxing IMO.
    I hate that brit word, cos its meaningless!

    Britain, & brit are horrible words, cos they devalue our nations. Its like Chris Hoy won so many gold medals but hes a brit, when the guy is scottish. & if Froch beats Taylor? hes a brit when hes english?

    What a ****ed up lot of people sport fans are here on these shores. They regard anything outside of fooball as a mutual victory, but when it comes to football, politics & anything truly important in life we are seperate identities, as it should be?
    Its all ****ed up man, its all ****ed up...

    If Froch & hatton wins I send my regards to London & England, but how me or any other scotsman can claim it as 'our' victory leaves me scratching my big scottish head in abject disbelief...

    UK, its never made sense to me, especially as it aint united as long as people like me exist.

    Are you just moody because the British Lions only has two Sweaties in the squad and one of them's an Aussie?:D

    Froch has the British flag on his trunks. He's more of a united man than you are.

    We are British, stop alienating yourself.

    Are you honestly telling me you don't enjoy wins by English and Welsh fighters?

    watchin it on a sunday evening is kinda bland. Sunday eves are for sippin on some earl grey or green chai, ironing your uniform or getting your uni folder ready.
    Im willing to get back in doors around 2 ish am and find something.

    I was thinking this too. I reckon if he was gonna mention the result he'd give pre-warning. Also I'm not sure if Bunce will be on anyway as its only the 1 hour slot delayed, like Donaire last week and Julio Cesar Chhavez Jnr a few weeks back, Bunce (or Kerr) werent in the studios for them it was just an american voiceover.
