    Nah, the new channel is being integrated within ESPN America. It won't be particularly marketed towards a UK viewer, it will just show what they've got the rights to, which is only the EPL, SPL and some US sports at the moment.

    The American sports fans are (quite rightly) steaming over how their channel will be overtaken by Football. I can't imagine they'd be pleased to see their Friday night Baseball game replaced by some Boxing, even if it is from the states:nut

    We'll see. Everybody seems to presume ESPN will automatically pick up Setanta's Boxing contracts, and will show FNF when there's been absolutely nothing to suggest they will. But it seems at the moment as though the niche audience for UFC is bigger than the niche audience for Boxing.

    Who isn't that general forum is terrible now. One big win and everyone is hanging off a guys nuts in there.

    Juanma
    Donaire
    Dawson
    are the few who are way overrated. All 3 have the skills but theres no need to hang on to their balls

    :lol: I was going to bring up the Ponce thing but me and you always talk about it :lol:
    Donaire looks the part but a knockout of Darchinyan is all he has got.

    Cloud hasn't fought for a while but if he turns up in good shape and sharp he will stop Woods IMO.


    Bring on Cloud vs Pascal or Pascal/Cloud vs Dawson is what I say!!!

    Honestly I have only seen the Cloud-Gonzalez fight...he did look pretty impressive.

    Considering Woods display against Tarver I doubt I will ever pick for him again...he was so unimaginably bad in that fight and I reckon Cloud is a better fighter then that version of Tarver.

    I think he will put Woods on his backside.

    I see this fight going the same way as when David Haye fought Carl Thompson.Woods soaking up all the early pressure,then dumping Cloud on his over-hyped butt.
