    This sounds ***** I know, but I think he was caught by Sanders yes, he still took whatever and tried to beat it. And Brewster had something else going for him that night and it wasn't just boxing ability:huh Wlad sorted it out though in the rematch. Anyhow, he's a differant fighter under Steward to be sure.

    Well good luck to Klitscho anyway. Boxing needs a universally recongisible heavyweight Champion, so I hope he can clean up the division and unify all the titles.

    Yeah, I suppose there's a good chance RTE could cover the event, but they have yet to confirm it.

    I really doubt Lee is going to be on the card because I heard a rumor that he was going to headline a St. Paddy's card at Foxwoods or Mohegan so if that is the case then he wont fight a few weeks earlier at MSG.

    Hello ML, I suppose Steward could have revised his schedule for Lee. But Steward did indicate that he wanted Lee to be fighting once a month, a fight around ST. Paddy's day would be in keeping with those plans, along with a bout on the Klitscho/Ibragimov undercard. Lee could fight three times in six weeks if the opposition isn't very strong, but we wont know anything until after the Limerick bout.

    Yes Fra, but I take Shamrocks point that RTE tend only broadcast boxing events in Ireland. But if the event is not shown live, they might show delayed coverage.That would still be obtainable on the internet.

    It will Shamrock. RTE coverage of boxing has been excellent. They are obtaining fanastic viewing figures for every promotion thats shown. It started with Dunne and its now spreading to Duddy and Lee. Next it will be McCloskey and Macklin.Great times

    When Dunne boxed a 6 rounder in Germany they not only showed his fight but the Arthur Abraham v Kingsley Ikeke vacant IBF Middleweight title fight too .

    Once there is Irish interest they will consider it(however I don't see it happening) .

    Hawk28 Appleby will actually be the favourite when he takes on Lindsay .
    Appleby looks to have World class potential and has a quality varied attack .
    However Linsday would be more polished defensively and it seems a close fight which could go either way .
