    Any thoughts on this? I just don't know what the start time will be here in Cal ( BTW= didn't like SEMICHIN as a user name, so I went back to Vooh...But I put a Mr instead of Dr,...didn't realize till it was done ) :oops:

    The human body has a built in clock that adjusts itself to daylight/darkness cycles - your blood pressure changes , body temperature , senses all vary throughout a 24 hour period. To ask boxers to fight at an odd hour to satisfy a TV station in a foreign country seems to be wrong but then I'm not on the receiving end of a few million dollars for agreeing to make that happen.

    Remember Lennox Lewis / Rahman 1 ? They fought in South Africa something like 2 AM local time to satisfy USA tv . You can train to fight at an odd hour but some things just can't be overcome. If you have ever worked night shift at a physical job then you will know what it is like.
