    If you ain't got access to Oz Main Event or NZ Sky Arena...no drama. Here's a link to legal stream
    http://www.gfl.tv/event/Fight/Boxing/Su ... ament/2423
    and fair bit cheaper. Strange Sky Arena & Main Even didn't request NZ & OZ blackout?
    The show wasn't listed on Saturday, when I bought Bankstown show

    Butler is one big unit. Nearly 300 pounds!

    Opponent Ritani-Coe will be touch lighter after he gets rid of his beard....so ordered by local officiating body (NZNBF) citing safety issue

    Thanks Da Voice, looking forward to catching the stream on that page you suggested. Is that a fairly good site? I never had heard of it before.

    No probs with it so far & I viewed numerous shows. Viewed this show on Saturday night without any probs for 11 Ozzie bucks http://boxrec.com/show_display.php?show_id=691012

    Should be a exciting tournament. I think there will be some upsets & also some surprises along the way. What did you guys think of the weights of the fighters?

    Meehan odds were just that, odd. Butler looks to be a bit overweight...Rahman is about the same weight he was 6 years ago against Wlad...interesting overall.

    Says on the GFL.tv site they are having communication problems with the distributor. Don't sound good, doubt I'll throw $16 at an event that may get blacked out.

    Picking the winner of these things, particularly with a field like this one, is very difficult. Obviously someone has to win 3 fights in the one night and any number of things can go wrong along the way.

    I haven't looked at the way the draw works. But I think Rahman could win his way through to the final and perhaps fight the winner of the Sprot vs Rogan fight. Meehan not without a chance. Perhaps Rahman to win the final.

    I think it's set so Sprott & Rahman will make the finals however we'll see if Butler can bring some pain too. If the Rock has wobbly knees/legs like against Povetkin he won't last long. Surely he will be hydrated tonight for the bouts.

    There will be some guys looking for bonus money and quick fights. So there should be some action, even if it isn't top 10 level stuff.

    I agree I'm real interested in this. I'm a fan of these guys and want to see the action. The Rogan/Sprott should be a good tangle while it lasts. I forget how the brackets are set now too.

    Leapai would have given it a real shake probably. It is after 5pm in NZ. Not too far away now.
