    So, the Bellew-McKenzie & Olubamiwo-McDermott bill is scheduled to air on SKY...but what of the bill just across town at Wembley, with O'Donnell-Watson and Daws-Theophane? That seems just as big a deal, all told - yet it's not going to be televised at all? No Premier or anything?

    Was this some sort of power play between Hennessy and Warren? Who had completed their purse bid or ironed down the date first? :huh

    It's on Premier Sports. Fat Mick doesn't have a deal with Sky.

    Ah, thanks. That info isn't listed on ESPN.com or Boxrec for some reason.

    So do the cards directly compete head to head or are the program times on either channel staggered a bit?

    Cheers.

    Does Premier have the same format as Sky? (main event first)

    Ideally I'd like to see all four fights, but if pressed to choose would go with catching both Bomber's fight and the O'Donnell-Watson rematch should the timing work out. McDermott is going to either get KTFO early or grind and maul his way to a possible decision, and Theophane's style has never pleased me.

    Which card are most of you leaning toward?

    Recentley sky show the one undercard fight first this week being olubamiwo vs McDermott then the main event

    When premier sports showed Tyson and o,donnell they had the undercard fight. Fury on first then odonnell. They are showing fury against a yet unamed opponent then the two British title fights

    Premier sports also have the card junior witter is on from canada aswell later that night

    If I am forced to choose, at the risk of facing Tony's wrath, I'll probably go with Watson-O'Donnell and Daws-Theoplane. I'm just a bit more intrigued, particularly with the rematch, I'm not to fond of Theoplane though but it should be an interesting fight seeing how he matches up with one of the best from his country. I'll catch up on the Bellew card the following morning.

    Oh ****, that's good to know. I'd assumed there was no way to see Witter-Puiu.

    Fury vs. TBA looks to be set for 4 rounds, so it should finish up before Sky kicks off at 8...but then they'll probably spend some time gabbing before getting on to the title affairs. :!:

    My 1st choice is def the Premier Card.

    Watson getting his revenge against O'Donnell after being shafted in the first fight and Daws-Theophane should be a very interesting fight. I have very little interest in McDermott-Larry O but I'll be flicking over when Tony is on.

    Fury's taking on a 6'5" 230lb Brazilian who's 13-0 with 11 KOs. :shock:
