    Given that it's half 2 I can see how you may be upset.

    But I am wondering if the fight starts fairly soon after it comes on how it's meant to go through to 7am. Buncey could be doing a lot of talking tonight. Not that he would complain, he would still run out of time. :D I may end up not going to bed as I watch a bit of cricket then a bit of F1, then a bit of footy, bit of rugby, bit of tennis. Before I know it it'll be 2pm tomorrow.

    No idea how they plan to run through to 7am, unless they plan on replaying the undercard fights we've missed and yeah, Buncey could talk on till 9am if they let him. A good night/day of sports lined up but I'll end up going to sleep after the boxing and not resurface till about 12. Hopefully the Aussies will make a strong comeback in the cricket so I'll be able to tease my dad about it :D.

    Yeah it is but HBo are showing the second undercard fight and there's only one more after this before the main event. So why are Setanta starting at 3am and going on till 7am? The fight will be long finished by then.

    True, they do but surely it's better to show them live? Once you've seen the main event you're not too bothered about the undercards unless it's a guranteed cracking fight.

    Only 1 winner there I'm afraid and it's not the Aussies as much as I wanted them to win.

    So who do people want to win today? I want Bhop to win but get the feeling if he turns this into another wrestling match then I might become a Pavlik fan.

    anyone still here? reckon Freeview will be showing it? it usually cuts off at 3. Didn't for Woods-Tarver, but did for ****in Cotto-Margarito, the biggest fight of the year! beggars belief

    On the plus side, the current fight seems a bit of a borefest according to the round by round on the General so we're not missing out on much.

    They've had the main event on a 10 minutes delay before now, I've been watching round 10 of a fight on a HBO stream and round 6 on Setanta "Live" at the same time!:patsch
