    Sky coverage finishes at 4 UK, so that should mean a 2am/2.30 kick off for Froch? Hour for ring walks and fight, post-fight gig. Just checked now.

    I won't be watching Sky as it's shitty commentary; Showtime for me.

    What time is Kell Brook, and what network? I don't see it listed.

    Froch-Ward is 9pm Eastern, and Showtime only lists it for 1 1/2 hrs, so maybe there's no undercard.

    Which means he won't likely be taking points for Ward's headbutting:patsch

    I'm pulling for Froch... however, I think Smoger is a great ref for this fight. He's one of the best in the business.

    Although I don't advocate it there are places on the web you can find the fight.

    Kell Brook is just before Froch fight. Froch fight starts at 2/2.30/3am UK (9/10pm NYC) as I have just gleamed.

    Sky (UK) have the lot. Can't tell you where to get it because I'll get banned.

    Ive said from the very start this whole thing has been set up for an American to win it and have made sure that at no stage there was no Americans in it, they wanted the American audiences tuning in with American dollars being payed cuz everybody knows thats where the big money is.

    So now we are in the final why stop now. I dont mean for it to sound that bitter but i do think the whole thing has had an American dollar influence the whole way through and they really didnt want it to end up with Europeans fighting in Europe.

    3 questions for Arran and others who have issue with Smoger as the ref:

    1. Who was your top choice for ref?
    2. Who was your last choice for ref?
    3. Where does Smoger fall in between?

    All officials should be from neither country of the fighters.

    Personally, I wanted it to be Russell Mora.

    I mean, they're gonna' give the decision to Ward, anyway. At least Mora would make it obvious.

    Do you really wanna see Kell vs yet another Cclass fighter......this is getting old, his talking how he's the very best WW/JWW/LMW on the planet but refuses to even consider a Bclass fighter like Matty Hatton, Mosely, Aydin, or Senchenko.:-(

    The only issue i have is that he is from USA( a great ref, thou.)
    But when they have choosed to use an american referee,Smoger is fine,Kenny bayliss would also be okay,if they can“t find any non american ref.

    I simply can NOT wait untl Amir King Khan steps up to WW and smokes his countrymen Hatton and Brook and makes them loo out of thier class, which against the top 3, PhonyMay, Pacman, and Khan, they literally are out of their class.

    Hell, I'd tip Berto, Ortiz, or even Madaina to KO Brook ATM:deal
