    well hbo turned his fight for taylor and put on the shitty ass penalosa-lopez fight that no one cared about

    so i hope he fights for showtime.... its easier to get showtime illegal streams as well so i really hope he signs with showtime...

    there are so many good fights that can be made between froch, taylor, kessler, miranda, andrade, ward, balzey, dirrel, bute, pascal

    Those commercials put much needed cash into Froch's pocket. Suck it up and endure! :lol:

    Not only that. The commentary was terrible to. I watched the Showtime version last night on a stream and it was soo exciting. I watched ITV coverage and the commentary was poor. No excitement injected.

    Compare the last round of how ITV4 called it, then compare how that dude from Showtime was going absolutely nuts.

    If there was an option to turn off the ITV commentary and just have the sound at the venue, I'd have gone with that. McGuigan was awful.

    I've said it before.
    McGuigan > lovely bloke, dreadful commentator.

    And for someone who's fought at the very highest level, he nearly always calls it wrong.
